floppy Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 i also think that the noise is more louder from the intake "filter" i also have a idea on reducing it.. a Y adapter from extraction fan going to 2 filters. ie, 2 filters as intake, using only one fan. there will now be more surface area sucking in air, reducing the "woosh" or mabe use a bigger filter, ie, 5" fan 8"+ filter any thoughts on this ?

skippy23 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 another satisfied customer here leepy, thanks for the idea wouldent of thought of it myself defo worked for me. although i will say any noise i get now is from the sharp 90degree bend in my ducting, other than that not a wisper from my 6". also controlled by a variac witch also helps alot. cheers skippy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve french Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 looking good leepy, I did something similar a while back myself although not as neat as yours...that stuff has a mind of its own!

Guest Tutu Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I've got an airforce silenced fan and I can honestly say while I love it the 6 inch rvk with a roll of rockwool wrapped and tied around it and then turned right down using the airforce controller (It's just a fancy variac) is actually quieter for the same airflow. I have a double silencer setup on the outtake and a single silencer on the intake. Don't need acoustic ducting it seems to make very little difference to being able to hear the grow once outside the grow room. You can only hear my grow on the quietest of nights and then only just on the edge of hearing if you stand within 1 foot of the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tutu Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 looking good leepy, I did something similar a while back myself although not as neat as yours...that stuff has a mind of its own!I wonder why people would criticize your effort when youre design pretty much emulates the acoustic type fans currently sold for big bucks in hydro stores My airforce fan is like a water wheel not a traditional fan and I have doubts there's anything you could do to get your RVK as quiet (Or me) but you can get it close enough for most people. Decent acoustic fans are better than RVK's because of how they move the air, it's less choppy and less turbulence, are they worth the money, to me yes they are and I will replace my RVK after xmas with the larger airforce (My small airforce is acting as an air in.) They aren't for everyone though and you can get damn fine results using just a roll of rockwool and cable ties. It all comes down to how much silence mean to you.
