My stereo room doesn't have a fan and it's too hot to listen comfortably. I need a fan but don't want a lot of fan noise. Can somebody recommend a very quiet fan? Thanks.
Rw, Believe it or not, i did just that y'day. Of course i get the box home, assemble it and... too loud. Now have to box it back up and take it back. Seems most fans are too loud for me. I thought someone may have a specific model that is very quiet...maybe that funny dyson fan or something.
Dyson I think makes the quietest fan available but cost $200.00+. Checking out a fan noise level in a store like Home Depot is not a good idea. The white noise level is probably 60 to 80 DB to start. If you have a DC to AC converter ask if you can take the display model to your car, that may give you an idea of how quiet it is. Some fans will have a DB rating so check the manufacturers web site for info. Also the less a pitch or angle on the blade the quieter it will be.
The cheapest AND quietest way is to mount PC fan onto the chassis of hot component(I believe amp). You will need to ID available DIN for fan and measure the voltage between terminals in order find proper fan. Than it's only mechanics to mount the PC fan or couple onto the chassis.
Plan B: If you have wife or GF, you can get pheasant feather fan and give it to her while listening:-)
