Fan & carbon filter for small tent

[JCS]

Hello,
I have a 30"Wx18"Dx36"H lighthouse hydro tent and my lighting is a 300W Galaxyhydro LED. I intend to grow in a bedroom closet, where stealth (noise and smell) outside of the closet is of concern, so I am looking into adding a fan and carbon filter to my setup. I fully expect some fan noise to be audible in the bedroom, but I am looking to reduce it as much as possible. Many of the (noisy) fan reviews I have read were used in larger tents and it is my hope that since my tent is small, a smaller (and hopefully quieter) fan can be used. I am looking for recommendations on how to best circulate and scrub air while still being fairly quiet. My tent has both 4" and 6" holes, so I am not limited to a singe fan diameter. Thanks in advance!

You going to grow weed to maturity in a 36" high tent? Good luck. -granger

There are new very quiet 6" fans now, 4's sound like airplanes.

Mount fan to filter blowing through the filter and leave it outside your tiny tent, use a hose to connect to a top port of tent and vacuum out the heat and stank.

Keep the fan inside the tent if you have room, that will cut down the noise. Hook some insulated ducting onto the end and have only that coming out the tent. In effect this works almost as well as those $75 "silencers" they sell for the inline fans to cut noise.

Also, check the decible rating on the fans before you buy. As others have said, they make much better ones now a days that have better construction to reduce vibration and noise. I have a Vortex 6" and love it.
