Do a google search for idea's for soundproofing. Also go to Ebay and search soundproofing and they'll have a lot of idea's. A LOT depends on how big your grow is. I FOUND A LOT OF IDEA'S but we bought a Doublewide and all my loud fans are under the house now. We put concrete wall instead of siding so it is totally silent outside also. I was in your boat in the begining and there are a lot of things you can do. GOODLUCK!

duct muffler Duct Muffler Inline Noise Reducer
i think you could fashion a muffler.
you need a center baffle, just like in the links pic. chicken wire would be good a small gauge.
for the actual noise reduction i would go with something like cotton wool or toy teddy stuffing. something that would draw the sound so stuffing/cotton wadding would maybe work. motorcycle exhaust baffles (old type) used this kinda method, when i was young i used too burn them out.
maybe worth looking into a homebuild than shelling out your cash right now.

lol, i know exactly what your problem is....
im telling you.... try insulated ducting first.... im not one of these noobs around here that will tell you something just for the fuck of it.... im not the type to stir in the wrong direction!
a filter will almost muffle sound as well
