I have a 6 in. vortex fan. Some say its quiet but it sounds like a jet engine to me. I live in an apt and the manager is directly on the other side of the wall of my grow rm. (means I gotta be extremely quiet) I've been trying to use a smaller quieter exhaust fan but its not doing the job. My temp is too high and the smell (in veg) is noticeable in my apt. I need to flip to 12/12 but gotta solve my probs 1st. I'm not worried about the sound of wind exhausting, (thru the ceiling) I'm more worried about the sound of the motor and vibrations. I'm buying a dimmer switch tomorrow and wrapping the fan in dynamat. I'm also using insulated ducting. I seen somewhere on here that somebody enclosed their fan in a box. Any details on that? I'm trying to combine a few different ideas to make it quiet as possible. Besides an exhaust muffler, any other ideas? :sweating -PDX
