Hello all,
I have posted on the issue before, and regarding noise was told the best options were a silencer, a dimmer and bungee cords. Silencers are too expensive for me at the moment, and while bungee cords improved the problem, noise is still very much an issue as my grow room is in my bedroom.
The dimmer seemed like the most attractive idea, however dimmers run from 60w upwards, and my ventilator is 25w. I was wondering if anybody knows how I can lower the voltage that's going to my ventilator to help control the noise. In particular I'd thought of wiring a variable resistor (rheostat) into my ventilator circuit; the problem is that I don't really know enough about electronics to know what type of rheostat I should order, or for that matter where to put it.
my ventilator is a 25watt 125 Domus axial wall fan, the standard kind used in bathroom ventilation.
I sincerely hope I may find some advice as the walls in my house are thin, and there's the chance my neighbours may find the sound of a bathroom ventilator in my bedroom suspicious lol.. Thanks a lot guys i appreciate any advice given...
