    Default Calling all stealth enthusiasts...

    Fans. They are the thorn in my side (Im talking about air circulation fans not inline). I got a nice voltage regulator for my inline which is great. Those clip fans are brutal, so got some 140mm super awesome PC fans, which are ok when attached to another little pc fan regulator...but still aint that quiet.

    Bascially Im looking for suggestions from people that have the same problems as me...noise is a major factor.

    Thoughts?

    edit - i run 400w in 1.2m tent

    i did see a thread somewhere, had some good techniques
    the one that caught my eye was putting the fan in a wooden box(or something similar)
    opening at front and back, with some baffles that help reduce sound
    haven't tried it, living with the noise for the moment(pc fans)

    Got some bungy cords, but its just the noise from the fans. Have you got the Dyson fans? Too expensive for me, but dont they have a small fan working overtime in the base?

    Maybe I need to live with it, just wondered if there was a holy grail out there I was missing out on. Its coming into summer, I will try the local department stores and see if I can find a replacement.

    Cheers for the suggestions folks

    the noise is the vibration more than then actuall fan,lift it up ul see a massive sound diffrence from a quiet wurring to a light gust of air noise my fans not so brand new but spry down the rotating shaft with wd40 and hang upsaide down with the plastuc plugs..i found the metal ones to carry more vibratin wer the plastic ones just dampen it,,only by a DB or 2 but ther wat u need to get down
    OR)
    get a good extractor ad put it in the attick get sum ducting and put that to a pipe outlet through your roof (they wil already be 1 or 2 mone has 3)and then on the other side of thee xtractor go into your grow room and hang it wer ur currant fan would be,not only would the air be gettin circulated ud be getting fresh c02 and ur extractorzs in the attick so its 100% noice free,

    The only thing i hear when standing next to my tent is the timer clicking away and the hum of the ballast..
    The noise from 99% of fans i have seen are from buffeting and uneven flows in air
