I just bought an inline fan for my grow tent and I ran into a small dilemma. The grow tent is in my room due to space issues, and my inline fan is kind of noisy, does anyone have any tips on how to reduce the noise?

A silencer. Or perhaps suspending the fan by bungie cords would help. Worked for me once.

suspending it by rubber bungies might help like he said above.
this should cause a difference. I heard doing this to filters and fans cuts down alot of the vibrations and sound from the unit.
if that dont work
maybe try buying a different fan? one that isnt so loud.
good luck.
roll one for me!!!

Is the noise from the intake/outtake, the actual unit, or vibrating on the wall??? You can get speed controllers that allow you to drop the speed of the fan therefor making it quieter which will only work if the fan is just to powerful...They do have baffles that are supposed to quiet things down...

Thanks for the reply guys I actually have it venting into the attic upstairs, before I had it venting outside of the tent, so there is a considerable decrease in noise. Thank you all for your suggestions.

No problem. I am now unsubscribing. +reps for progress BlazeSour.
My fans got a *lot* quieter when I vented the ducting into my attic also.
I wasn't expecting it, but it sure was nice.

ok this sounds stupid but it works. wrap as much of the exterior of your inline fan/ duct booster as you can in electrical tape. it dampens the vibration and acustic ability of the can, makes it more of a sound deadner. where as the normal metal projects sound adding electrical tape to the outside dampens soundwaves like you wouldnt belive. you do need to use alot of it though.
