it is hard to get quieter than a 6" rvk fan, especially if you are looking to cool hid lighting. you may need a cfl or led if you can't cope with noise at all.

Tbh i think its a mixture of a noisy fan and my mate living in a modern flat thats all plasterboard walls, main condition on being allowed to grow at his is that theres no noise coming from it so he can still have people/family etc come round without asking loads of questions, also his mum is a rather strict bible basher n he thinks she would probably ring the police herself if she found out, one of these " Jesus told me to save you from going down that path n risk going to hell for touching illegal drugs" kinda women

Yeah know what you mean mate but I did have an idea that might save things.........got that 4" fan here so turnt that on in the cupboard with no ducting or anything attached an couldnt even hear it the other side of the cupboard door so may try n do same idea but with 4" everything instead of 6", will just mean acquiring a 4" filter n cooltube from somewhere lol

fuck that mate, if it was me i'd be grabbing all that shit out ur mates house now and set it up at ur own, i wouldnt be takin chances in a house where regular visitors are likely to notice and/or grass to the cops, safer in ur own gaff where u can keep an eye/ear on noise levels and plants.

4" cooltube is a hard thing to find mate b4 i upgraded to 6" i hunted everywhere for a 4" cooltube but never did find one, smallest i seen is 5", u might need to use a 5" with a reducer for ducting and fan

in the winter a 4" will probably cool a 600w no bother.
if you can get 2 4"-6" adapters you should be good to go, stick one either side of the fan.

a 4" fan sucking through the big filter should make very little noise.

tbh mate i think im gonna need to get rid of the 6" stuff to fund the 4" stuff im gonna need, but on the other hand this equipment is a gift/loan until harvest time when i pay for it so dont wanna seem ungrateful n stuff for it or have the person who sent it me thinking ive wasted his time y`know

better to be prepared for the long term than the quick fix sae, for what it costs ( 2x 6"-4" adapters) you could have all the growing equipment you will need for the forseable future.

the 4" stuff may do well at your mates house in the winter but how long is it gonna be there in reality? will the 4" be enough when summer comes and it is 29c lights off?

if you decide to move the grow elsewhere you will have a proper set up that you could put in a tent etc. if you get rid of that quality equipment to buy inferior equipment that is just nuts imo.
