Okay, I realize that there already is a Fan Sound Control thread, but I feel that my situation calls for more drastic measures than a simple box hanging.
So in finishing up my cabinet, I need to find something to insulate/block allll of the sound of my loud 500 CFM Soler & Palau mixvent fan.
At first I was going to use just insulation, but I've heard this may be a fire hazard, and it doesn't work all that well for soundproofing.
As this is supposed to be a stealth cabinet, I am willing https://www.rollitup.org/images/editor/attach.gifto spend w/e amount of money needed to make this fan as quiet as possible, and he're are a few of my ideas.
I was thinking about using Mass Loaded Vinyl to line the box as a sound barrier, but I know that will not be enough so I might add open cell foam to try and trap and absorb some of the vibrations and noise.
Another alternative is Green Glue which I was thinking about adding in between foam or MLV. Pretty much, I would like to implement as many decoupling strategies as possible to get next to no noise from standing right outside the cabinet.
Somebody who is experienced in soundproofing, or creating recording studios, I could use all the help i can get.
Thanks
out.
