DIY: Sound insulate your cannon fan for $40
So I've been modding my growroom all week -
I've noticed alot of posters don't care for the noise generated by the requisite cannon fan - and have come up with some outlandish solutions to this problem.
As a longtime car-stereo junkie - I had the perfect solution sitting in my garage.
This solution requires two, smallish purchases:
and -
The roller is important - the aluminum skin will cut the shit out of your fingers if you do this by hand. And you won't get nearly the same level of adhesion without it.
This is the size strip you want - cutting down simple rectangles measuring about 2.5" x 12" - and carefully applying each strip, works wonders for your car door - and your cannon fan.
If your subwoofer hits so hard your CD player skips - I have this problem from time to time - run weatherstripping over the screw holes - like so.
Done!
I lost my db meter awhile ago - but, I'd estimate an 6 - 8 db loss over an uncovered fan.
This is alot.
With my growroom door closed - this fucker - on the maximum setting - is inaudible.
