Yup.. Its screwed into the roof of the box with weather stripping in between.. but there still noise coming from that area.. would like to silence it completely if i could

once i got my dimmer and suspended my fan by bungie cords (not screwd to anything solid) my shits been perfect. except at the exit point where it blows really strong, flatens all the grass for a foot or two infront of it!

normaly i leave it cranked full on, its a lil noisy then,but quieter than normal "house sounds" so its not a big deal, but i can turn it down to damn near silent, still keep my room vented, just not as cool.(cool keeps the smell down a lot, i like 75-78 degrees) i'd be comfortable leaving it that way for a week or two if i had to.

and if its quiet again, no ones over etc.. i'll just crank it back on full. I also lined the floor of the grow room with foil buble insulation, and the door is sealed with foil buble ins. with a ziper opening behind the door opening, haha makes it totaly light/smell proof and helps a ton with sound.
Well the way I have things setup thats not really an option because I have a "whisper fan" (check out www.sunshinehydro.com) mounted to the roof of my box with glass about 3 inches below that.

What is foil bubble insulation and where'd you get that?
