Advice on venting noise Needed

[akabud]

Hey guys,
i have my small growtent approx 34"x34"x60" in a shed,
I have a 5" rvk exhausting into a hole in the shed floor, also my intake is from a hole in the shed floor only oppasite sides of the shed.

My problem is i can just hear the air being exhausted when standing outside the shed.
Is there anyway of making this quieter?
No filter inline as i dnt need one.

I cant realy afford to use a contoler on the fan as it gets real hot in the shed when the sun is shining.

any advice on making this quieter appreciated.

Simple, to reduce noise reduce speed of airflow.

To reduce speed of airflow, decrease resistance.

Add Y splitters well before your outake intake and double your holes.

Alternatively, create some sort of barrier between the source of the noise and the place you can hear it.

Alternatively use a joiner to increase the size of the holes...

If you can stink for hundreds of yards in all directions, what's wrong with sound carrying a few feet?

The smell is not a problem, i have some carbon covering the exhaust hole in the shed floor, upto now its doing the job, so in theory i do have a filter of sort.
My shed is based at the bottom of the garden with 2 other gardens facing ours with just a short fence, maybe in being paranoid. just thought i would ask for a little advice, no one mentioned that i had a smell problem..

Cheers fellas

Just use a muffler on the exhaust under the shed. Plenty of DIY tutorials here. Basically a trashcan full of fiberglass insulation with a wiremesh core...or similar...seen cardboard boxes with polyfill batting, and all kinds of stuff knocked up from things laying around the house. Simple concept, easy to execute, cost from free to maybe $20.

Thanks for stopping by buddy, the space i have between shed and floor is only 4" but you have given me a little more insight on what i need.
Thanks

That's what I did! Made a muffler using the same design as the DIY carbon filter except I put polyfill batting inside the cylinder instead of carbon. I have a tent inside my room and it was pretty loud with the dual exhaust fans making it hard to sleep! Cost was about 15$ because I had some of the materials already but it was better then spending 100+ for a muffler for something 1/2 the size/
