So, just had to revamp the ventilation, as my old fan setup wasn't keeping my temps in check.
I replaced a max 10 attached to a carbon filter with a noise reduction clamp.
This was very quiet and I could not hear anything on the main floor of the house before.
The upgrades have included a new exhaust fan hooked up the exact same way.
Uninsulated Thermoflo 14" (there is no way to insulate with space restricitons) ->Max 14 -> Noise reduction clamp -> Can Lite 14"
I can now hear this hum on the outside of my house, and a for sure on the main floor of the house. I thought the max 14" was supposed to be really quiet!?!?
Now today, I got to work on the new air cooled lighting ventilation project.
I put in a new Max Fan Qmax 12. If you are not familiar this is the new quiet line in the Max Fan lineup. It has built in duct mufflers and sound dampening foam in it, I don't think they are online anywhere yet, but might be able to post pics later if there is interest. I have this hanging from a bungee, and hooked up to uninsulated thermoflo on both sides (once again space restrictions permit insulated)
Now this fan is very LOUD! It is humming on the main floor of my house worse than the 14" max. So here is my question the room is in an unfinished basement and the only thing seperating this basement and the main floor of my house is a wood floors on top of a few layers of sub floor.
I am just wondering if any one has any thoughts on how to quiet these things down... I could potentially build insulated boxes around these fans, but am up for other suggestions.
