how loud is your stanley blower?

[Guest]

i went to walmart and lowes today, couldnt find one, and the help they had said they never heard of it.. so i will prolly grab one online.. but for a stealth settup, exactly how loud are these things, i guess i could build a small box for it to sit in and insulate the crap out of it, but how many decibles are they, does it sound like a jet airplane in the room? thanks in advance.

i too am curious

They aren't very loud at all for the amount of air they move. I run mine on low and you can't hear them outside the room.

Never heard one but I've seen them at Home Depot. I think I've heard of Lowes having them too. In summer I'm sure a bunch more places have it.

Good luck on the fan hunt

I had to order my Stanley. It's not loud at all and puts out a decent amount of air.

i'm running 3 full throttle, one venting lights, one blowing air through room, one in carbon scrubber. i can hardly hear them standing outside room, i mean almost no nose at all. they work great i'm on 4 or 5 grows perpetual with no problems. hope this helps later SI

i had to order one off the net because i couldn't find one in stores. it moves a shit ton of air and doesn't vibrate like crazy or make a lot of noise. i have it in the room that i sleep in and it doesn't bother me at all.

not too loud for the amount of air they move is RIGHT!

not too loud for the amount of air they move is RIGHT!

ive gotten mine down to NEARLY SILENT levels, at least on LOW.




This is the inside of my FLOWERBOX... i put the stanley blower in a "backpack" i built on the back of the cabinet.



I cut out the grilles on the intakes and exhaust side to reduce WHOOSH.



I have heard of people blocking off the "motor side" intake, but THE FAN NEEDS *B*O*T*H* intakes to perform fully! all you have to do is LOOK in there and see the blower has TWO sides, and BOTH intakes are needed!! i cut the grille off there too as you can see...




these are some plans i made in GoogleSketchUp... note the intake is an 8" not six....






MOST importantly for me, was padding the area *AROUND* the output with foam. this created ZERO restriction while at the same time NEARLY silencing the fan's output entirely...
