your fan is going to cool itself .......... your box would get just as hot as it would wrapped up in a sleeping bag.............and my fans all sound like airplanes what brand do u buy?Ok do not listen to any moron telling you to wrap anything around the fan. Not sure why anyone would tell you to do such a dumb thing. Your increasing your fire hazard chances and just destroying the fan as you over heat the bearings inside until they pop or seize. If you can hear the fan and its in a closet where all the meters are chances are the smell will get out too so basically you have chosen a very bad location make sure your light cords are correct insulated and not old or cheap as rf leaks and can be detected easily if not shielded right. Next you can build a simple baffle box for the fan or move the fan out of the closet using ducting to the room to move the noise away form the outter wall. Fans make little noise unless broken so hiding the sound is easy. best beat though is a baffle box basically a small plywood box lined with insulation that the fan goes inside of then ducting out each end for intake out take. costs about $15 bucks to do maybe $30 if you spring for the heat shielded kind to make sure extra fire safe.
