Have a backup fan.
But its way to loud. Beyond obvious im sure the neighbors either will now im growing or landing jets in my living room one or the other.
Anyone know if this fan will quiet down any with a stepless or will i have to get a variac ?

its a Ipower 6" inline
any help is appreciated

please note

i do understand that the wave length from a step less is square and incorrect
but its not permanent just a quick fix to keep LEO off my back
cant let the scrubber go down for too long im sure you know how it is o_O

Oh man that sucks! You know anyone you could borrow like a booster fan from and just squeak by till you get a new one in?

inline fans need a Variac controller, duct fans use a stepless controller, but you can use a steples on ur inline also just might make a hum and shorten the life of your fan, and a fire risk so dont recommend keeping inline on stepless longer then needed.
