Does anybody have experience with duct silencers? Do they really work?

I put one of these on the carbon filter/fan setup i have in my living room to make it completely silent on the lowest speed (which still moves a ton of air)

My thoughts exactly.

Yep thats exactly what it is. The thing is huge though, pictures dont do it justice. Getting a piece of 12'' ducting, two 12'' to 8'' reducers, and the eggshell foam is going to cost you close to 65 bones plus you have to put it together and in the end it wont look nearly as professional as the ac infinity unit.

Recently purchased an 8” duct silencer as the new room backs on to a neighbours garden.
100% recommend them for reducing the noise but don’t expect complete silence if the fan speed is on full.

Yeah I've ditched the silencer for the tent fan. I just learned to get the biggest fan/filter i can fit in the tent and run it at 50% or less and it still moves plenty of air while doing so quietly.

Yea, did the same. The filtering is greatly improved, no more harmonic resonance and can't hear it 3 ft away.
Got rid of the wavy gravy duct run with support line and 90deg supports for the bends.
