OK.....for me to say how loud is loud is like how deep is deep. I am not being a smart ass, and to look up how many decibles it is would also be about useless. All I am saying is you can hear Vortex fans. I use a 10 inch and 8 inch, and they make noise, but its not a concern for me.

Now, back to you. Is there anyway possible you could get some 1x1's and build a frame that you cover in plywood? If so I would go that route and line with foam. Mount the fan inside the box. You can buy foam at any store that sells fabric and sewing stuff. Then I would mount 4 eye bolts, one on each corner of the box. Get 4 of those black really heavy duty bungee cords. Not those real pretty fabric covered ones. You can get the bungees I am talking about at any auto parts store. I'd save 8 small pieces of that foam and wrap each S hook on the bungee cords and tape foam firmly in place. That way on both ends you will not have metal to metal contact (vibration) noise. Then you find the joices in the ceiling and mount 4 J hooks into those. Again, wrap those J hooks with foam and tape also. The idea is you want zero metal to metal contact. This way you can suspend the fan in the soundproof box (hopefully) with no metal to metal contact and keep it as quiet as possible. You deffinately want a speed control so you dont need to run it wide open. Of course you need to cut openings in both ends of your box for intake and exhaust.

I dont know how handy you are, or what kind of tools you have access to, but this may be like you building a Space Shuttle in your back yard, or it may be a 2 hour project.

As for the exhaust side remember this. The shorter you keep it, and the less kinks, twists, bends you have the better. You want as little resistance as you can get.

COme to think of it, I'd cover the outside and the inside of the frame work. But, before I did I would put a piece of foam in that airspace, then I would also put another piece of the foam on the inside as well.

If only you lived in my neck woods and I knew you I could put together what I am talking about for you and it would be perfect. I'd tinker with it for 2 days but what I would not come up with something to make that fan soundproof.

Hmmmm..... I just thought of something. You say on the other side of the wall from the closet is a washer and dryer???? Is there ANY way you could tap into the vent from the dryer ?? That would help you considerably if so.

You honestly need to tap into your creative side on this project. I know it may seem daunting, but its not that hard if you are half handy at all. I'd like to see some other suggestions and maybe between everyones ideas we could combine and come up with a final solution.

I am going to sleep on it and I will ponder some more and get back with you tomorrow.

bongerstonerd00d Reviewed by bongerstonerd00d on . Low odor strain help! Ok instead of trying to get a odor solution like carbon filter or w/e I have decided to just order some seeds from a strain that doesn't smell at all and if it does have to smell I don't want it to smell anything like marijuana but it still has to be highly potent (I want very potent weed lol I love it). That means no skunky shit lol. Some one please please help and reply as quick as you can. I am trying to order some seeds and I'm getting them from https://www.seedboutique.com since that is Rating: 5
