    Default best (quiet-est) way to install an inline fan??

    I have an exhaust run that pulls air from the outside, runs through my vented hoods, and then outside again, so it is a closed system for my sealed room. I need to install an inline fan to move the air and I'm now wondering what the best way to do this is. Should I use the bracket and install it to my cieling? Or is it possible to hang the fan from the cieling? What is best from a noise perspective? I need to be quiet. It will either be an 8 inch or 10 inch fan. Thanks.

    the best way to isolate any vibration is through rubber isolators of some type.

    You could mount it with some bungie-cords, which would limit vibration and noise...Or if you want to screw it in with brackets, put some heavy duty weather stripping or foam between the bracket, mounting surface, and fan.

    I hung mine with bungees and enclosed it in a box with craft stuffing. Took the noise down about 75%.

    I agree with the statement above. It looks like a grow show I would set up, some think I'm obsessive compulsive because of my cleanliness/organization, but to me this is just an essential part of the process. I hope to get some pictures & tutorials up soon on my new account. Great job btw. I may have to utilize this design for my new ventilation system.

    I'm all about being organized. What provider/grower has time to fuck around with sloppy set up? (Not the ones who are otherwise productive members of society, anyway.)

    Wear slippers when you are doing it and be very quiet with the screwdriver
    Everything written on here is a figment of my over-active imagination caused by mental health problems due to low THC levels in my brain. All pictures are posted by a mysterious stranger who hacks into my PC when I'm not looking. I'm not even sure I am real.

    I used bungie cords and suspended my 4" inline after trying rubber mounts to wood stud and reduced the noise by at least 90%.
