Thanks a lot folks for your kind replies. I appreciate the noise INSIDE is a consideration which I can deal with. My biggest concern is the roar of the air as it exits the window. Will a silencer on the o/p of a 1500 cfm fan reduce this so that folk behind windows 30 feet away will not be curious (or pissed off !).
houdini Reviewed by houdini on . air noise question I'm in the process of moving my growroom. We have a good location for the new one, the only problem is the proximity of a couple of open windows (on warm days) about 30 feet from the growroom. My question is concerning exhaust air noise. I'm going to be using a 1500 cfm fan to exhaust warm air through a window opening. The actual window frame itself is going to be boarded up and I'm making a wood box to surround the open window portion. The wood box will have a 12 inch hole cut in it to mount Rating: 5
