Hey yall got a small room in the making (200W diamond series LED) 2.5 ft tall 4 ft wide 2 ft deep I want my room to be stealth so any suggestions for quiet inline fans? I was going to get a bigger fan with a speed controller so it would be quiet. Any input would be appreciated!!
I grow with LEDs. Being that you will want a Carbon Filter smallest is a 4 inch inline fan. I would get a variable speed controller...there universal so will work with all of them. That way you can turn the fan down. If the noise is still a bother you can get a muffler to muffle the sound coming outta the fan or just get a box with egg crate foam in it...which is what the mufflers they sell do.

I was going to have a carbon filter with a DIY muffler and rubber bushings/hangers for more noise reduction
The vast amount of noise coming from your fan will be the fan itself and the rushing air. You can go to home depot/lowes and get insulated ducting. Costs more but substainally lowers the sound. THe biggest lowering of sound you will get is by getting the variable speed control box...about 20 bucks I think. Without it your fan runs at max which you probably wont need it to at that size of a grow area. Turning that switch to like half way cuts the noise down like a ton.
