Silence is golden !

Well it is around here any way !

Especialy when your extraction exits right over the front door ,,

So somthing had to be done !

Time for a silencer !

And what a difference it makes !

At max chat you can hardly here a thing ,,

I love it ,,,,,,,,

Good! silence is golden;

my silencer is a a couple of blankets wrapped around my exhaust fan(which is a resonablyquite one, a Cann fan) and it reduced the noise by a least 90%

happy growing,

I wish dude !

The blanket would have cost me a damn sight less

I'm using 600 wts in a space I would advise people to use 250 in ,,

Bit on the cramped side to say the least !

So I forced my own hand when it came to the extraction I had to go big ,,

Now my extractor aint overly loud but it is eficient !

It doesn't keep me awake put it that way !

BUT,,

It takes less than a meter of duct to reach the exit point ,,

Which was my problem ,,

There is no great length of duct for the air to slow down in !

It was way to loud to be discreet !

Hence the dirty great muzzle break ,,

But it has put an end to the noise ,,,

It also has the added bonus of being big and shiny

N that can't be bad

Good job Syn

Always good to be silent, nice 'n' stealthy.

I built a mdf box for my fan and stuffed it with old pillow stuffing, the added bonus was i had to buy new pillows, i slept like a log.

Fan noise was massively reduced, also built me a silencer from a camping roll mat which i cut out square holes with a craft knife. This made a lattice which i made a tube sealed with gaffer tape. I then wrapped it in plain net curtain, wrapped that with glass fiber insulation, covered it with plastic and gaffer taped it up. It worked a treat.

one other tip for a quieter fan noise is to buy a larger fan that you need and a fan speed controller. Having the fan rpm reduced to a slower speed made it very quiet. This is the method i am currently using , whisper quiet and i am still using the insulated box with it.
