didn't research, before these purchases. should have bought another different/dearer brand/model, but the plan was to make do for the time being, before purchasing maybe later. now, i am looking at its dB specification.
running a 150 mm exhaust fan on its lowest speed setting, and it's making a racket. we can hear it from our bedroom, and it's setup in the room next to us.
so, thought i'd get this cheap controller to reduce its fan speed, to reduce its operational noise. however, the fan controller itself creates a buzz which defeated the purpose. while reducing the fan speed reduces the exhaust fan's noise, this reduction is overtaken by a buzz.
googled to see this fan controller does buzz for some owners, almost a feature and nature of this product.
so, solution is either to purchase a quieter 150 mm fan or more expensive fan controller???
How LOUD are your fans?
okay, last year i was running an ASIC miner and that was much louder than this exhaust fan, i dreamt of living at an airport - so, rest of household are mostly tolerant to my hobbies.
