I need to know the quietest fan

[puffjon]

I am about to move to a location were stealth is of the most importance. I need a very quite exhaust fan to put into a cabinet or a grow tent. PC fans? In-line booster fan? squirrel cage? I need to know what is the absolute quietest fan out there.

Also does anybody have an idea of the strain I've got? It's just something I've come across and don't know what it is. I think it may be sativa, but it grows pretty well in my closet. I also looked at the bud shape and think it may be some kind of Haze or Skunk strain. I don't know, you tell me.

sunleaves makes a centrifugal inline fan similar to a can-fan but the housing is made of blue plastic, a buddy of mine uses one and its damn near silent

Thanks,

I've seen that fan. It looks cool. At about $140 and nearly 200 CFM it seems like a sure shot. "Permanently sealed and lubricated ball bearings support the zero-resistance blade rotation" (from Sunleaves website.) Also part of the money spent on the fan goes to Hydro for Hunger. Some kind of initiative to help eliminate world hunger according to the site.

However its not that I don't believe you wman44 but I would still like to hear what other people have to say on the subject before I commit to a product.

Again thanks for the response.

Those in line fans are pretty quiet, about as good as you will get. One thing you can do too make it even more quiet is too buy a oversized one and run it with a solid state fan speed controller. This will allow you to dial in your cfm too your cab and also will reduce the noise considerably more then if you were to buy a fan pumping the same cfm but running at max to get that cfm.
