Noisy ducting, insulated perhaps?

I have a inline fan carbon filter combo, works great, BUT is very noisy. I have some cheap ducting that I purchased from home depot, exiting my tent. You always hear it throughout the house. I'm wondering if insulated ducting would be MUCH quieter, or just a little. I'm afraid the poor people that share a wall (I live in a condo), can hear the exhaust on all day long? Because I know I can throughout the house. Anyone?

Thinking I should purchase...
Which will ruin my day because I'll have to move everything around

stays relevant.
Wrapping some blanket material around it may kill the sound, hell- even wrapping the ducting in duct tape should kill some of the sound

Yea, insulate that shit. Foam also works pretty good(like egg crate foam).

Is that spray foam?? And you suggest spraying the outer part of the duct? Some of it rests on the wall, creating noise. Thanks!!!!!! :mrgreen:

This stuff work?

Would I spray directly onto the outer ducting? Will this hurt my plants??

Not sure what product your refering to. I don't need to sound proof my wall, its not THAT loud, just sounds like the dryer is always on. Are you refering to,
Quiet Barrier® Tape

Quiet Barrier Tape
Used to cover the seams of vinyl barrier materials.



The other products suggest tearing out the drywall and replacing the insulation with they're product, look I just wanted a simpler cheaper solution like spray foam, rather than tearing my wall out. I appreciate the info but I'm not doing drywall. Maybe I'll just get the insulated ducting... :neutral:

Uhm. I'm suggesting wrapping your ducting(and the fan unit) with foam. Like egg crate foam:


Or regular insulating foam.

Yea, just do your best to pad it with insulation(getting some above it, insulating it from the building's structure would be good too). Obviously don't cover the intake or exhaust, that'd defeat the purpose. Rope/duct tape is your friend.
