Hey so I have a smaller grow tent and I'm in need of a quieter fan as I sleep in the same room. The reason I say quieter is because I did get one off amazon for 100 bucks seems good quality it's just way to loud like a 747 taking off. I havnt put any ducting on it yet. How much will that quiet it. I tried muffling the sound but the fan motor alone is too loud. I'm either thinking of getting a more quiet one or just have a sep. timer for the scrubbing system and just run it when I'm gone. But even then my neighbors prolly here that shit. Haha
Carbon Filter + Duct Muffler + Fan Controller + Insulated Ducting + Something to contain the fan in = Maximum stealth .
Ya I was thinking of taking some of those steps but honestly if thing was any louder I should of just bought a 747 engine. What I need is a quieter model and then with that one I could silence it.
That's exactly how I described the sound when I first plugged it in. Thankfully after adding the filter and some ducting about 50% of the noise was gone. *bigsighofrelief*. I'm actually figuring out how to get my setup completely silent, just keep searching bud!
I'm going to get some ducting, then I think I'm going to put the fan portion in a sleeping bag with the filter outside of it
what size tent u use. i got a 30inchx20x60 and i also need advise on a quiet but not to expensive fan. thinking of the diy carbon filters 6" but not sure how good they would work with say a 400 cfm inline fan.
Foothill filters are ftw. http://www.ebay.com/sch/foothill-carbon-filters/m.html This is the one I'm running. http://www.ebay.com/itm/6-CARBON-FILTER-AND-FAN-COMBO-WITH-130-CFM-FAN-REMOVES-ODORS-REFILLABLE-/161028062746?pt=US_Hydroponics&hash=item257e053e1a from the gc app on BlackBerry Playbook!
i have a pc fan 120mm its pretty loud but when I put the 250 hps light it got hot. temps were from 80-95. I don't think it will be able to cool tent and scrub air thru carbon filter efficiently. What are you temps? Im having issues with humidity. 16% UGGGGGGGG
