Anyone Have A Muffler On Their Inline Fan?

[TheGoodLife]

The air flow from my inline fan is a little noisy and I was thinking about getting a muffler. Is it worth getting?

On the intake of your fan, is it just open or do you already have tubing connected to it?

 

I have 6" and 8" high output can fans. Once I connected tubing up to the intake side the noise was cut just about in half. I am using can fans with all of the flex pipe hooked up they do not seem much louder than a typical bathroom fan.

 

If your fan is open on the intake side, maybe try to hook up a piece of tubing or pipe to it. I do not have any experience with the mufflers, sorry I can't help you with that specifically.

Is your fan suspended using a bungee cord? Once I did that the noise all but went away.

I use mufflers. I have one on each of a pair of carbon filter/inline fan combos.

 

I like mine and would suggest them if you are merely interested in quieting things down a bit.
