Any methods of quieting down a fan?

I get lots of guests coming over and I don't tell any of my friends as I don't trust them, I heard if you fit it in a box and cut 2 round holes and fill it with pilow stuffing/cotton then it will help, any cheap methods?

You kinda answered your own question lol but I can add a few more ideas that are cheap.
Hang it from a bungee cord. No vibrations.
Speed controller. Lower RPM = less noise
To silence the air flow to/from the fan your would need to spend a few bones and get some insulated ducting or a silencer.
Hell, you could probably build one for damn near nothing.

I'm gonna try but I can't really hang it has to be on the floor because the tent I got was chinese and the frame didn't fit in the coat so I ended up making it work but in process it ripped from 2 places, + I had to take 1 of the frames out so it's on 3 legs so the only thing I could hang is the actual light, this tent is so dodgy the hook frames that go on top don't reach from one end to another (too small) due to the weird size.

This or stick a box around it with a blanket on top. Or just turn it off whole people are there. Or get a dimmer and turn it down, they quiet down exponentially when they aren't running at full blast.
Sounds good, I have the rhino fan and I opt in for the more powerful one which had no dimming, the dimmable one actually cost less because it has less RPMs

Sit the fan on some styrofoam insulation (foil faced is nice, as you can use the excess as a reflector) and get some fiberglass insulation at Home Depot, wrap the shit out of it, and there is nothing more than can be done.

As a grower you are doing that shit, that 'we' all had to go thru

checking and thinking about the security aspect of growing

its much underrated

whatever happens and your back is on the wall.

Never admit that you grow weed....

but after some further drilling ..you can confess

that you have a connection that can get you weed

will save ur ass

good luck

It's not even that just imagine having that burden on your shoulders that if you fall out with someone or whatever they will always have something they can use against you which will automatically make you the weak one, so you'll end up having to even suck up to people because you're afraid they might snitch. I value my freedom and I'm not gonna ruin my life over some plant because it's the apparently a big crime to grow plants.
