Older fans also regularly suffer from misaligned blades and worn out ball-bearings from wear and tear of extended usage. This will slowly inrease the noise generated by the fan as it ages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecond (and often the most overlooked) is the sound of the air turbulence, generated by the air moving and crashing through the ducting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I Solve it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNoise generated by the fan itself can be solved by upgrading to a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hytachydroponics.com\/collections\/ec-extraction-fans\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003enew EC fan\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, with the Silent versions being the best choice for growers wanting minimal noise. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hytachydroponics.com\/collections\/ec-extraction-fans\/products\/phresh-hyperfan-stealth-v2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhresh Hyperfan Stealth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hytachydroponics.com\/collections\/ec-extraction-fans\/products\/rhino-ultra-silent\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRhino EC Ultra Silent\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hytachydroponics.com\/collections\/ec-extraction-fans\/products\/u-go-silent-ec-fans-with-controller\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUGO Silent EC\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e are the most popular choices out there.

Firstly, upgrading ducting to a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hytachydroponics.com\/collections\/ducting-metalwork-clamps\/products\/ultra-silent-ducting\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUltra Silent\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e version will dampen the noise as it passes through, however some noise will still be present as the air exits the duct system. This is where the silencer shines, acting as a large muffler to deal with the excess noise before it leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose the Flexible Silencer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike rigid silencers, flexible silencers offer greater flexibility (pun intended), thanks to their ability to bend to accomodate tight and irregular spaces. Additionally, they can be cut down to a more manageable size if space is limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSilencers are most effective if positioned directly after a fan, on a tight bend in duct work, or at the very end of your ducting line. These flexible silencers are airtight and can be used in sealed ventilation and closed-loop systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEffectively reduces noise in ventilation systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh quality aluminium, built to last\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast and easy to install\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be cut down to size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Hytec Horticulture","offers":[{"title":"100mm (4 inch)","offer_id":51844166123852,"sku":"FLEX-4","price":39.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"125mm (5 inch)","offer_id":51844166156620,"sku":"FLEX-5","price":42.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"150mm (6 inch)","offer_id":51844166189388,"sku":"FLEX-6","price":44.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"200mm (8 inch)","offer_id":51844166222156,"sku":"FLEX-8","price":59.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250mm (10 inch)","offer_id":51844166254924,"sku":"FLEX-10","price":69.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"315mm (12 inch)","offer_id":51844166287692,"sku":"FLEX-12","price":84.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/3044\/4620\/files\/flexible-silencer-closeup.png?v=1738237302","url":"https:\/\/hytachydroponics.com\/products\/flexible-duct-silencer","provider":"Hytec Horticulture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
