Yes, I'm a newbie, but have been lurking for some time. I did a search and did not find that anybody had posted this idea. If someone already has, I apologize for wasting your time. : )
From what I've seen so far, noise of and placement of exhaust air system is #2 on stealth list (with smell #1). For those who own their house and live in an area where radon is an issue, here is a way to hide in plain sight. If I can get the pictures to post.
My house has a radon abatement system. This consists of an exhaust fan that is taking suction from under plastic that is "supposed" to be air tight covering my crawlspace connected to my basement. From the pictures I'm going to attach, you will see that there is a sticker on the fan saying the fan is part of a radon abatment system. Now what nosy neighbor is going to check further. The fan and piping for it, as well as the noise is explained. And if you tell them that it doesn't "completely" resolve the issue, they wont want to snoop in your basement. LOL
Probably won't work for major grows, but for the hobbiest, it should be fine. Of course, odor control would still be needed.
The reason I said "supposed" is that my house is under a slight vacume at all times due to the system. I have to make sure that I close doors tight or they will open up, sucks when it's cold out if you don't catch it right away.
I can't seem to get my pictures in this post, I know there is a thread telling how to do it somewhere, just don't remember where it's at. After I find out how I will update with the pics. If someone hasn't already suggested this and they are not needed.
Peace
Forgot to add, the system exhausts above the roofline. that might help with odor issues, IDNK, havn't started anything serious.
