[musictlk] Silent Fan

Mon Mar 14 17:04:33 UTC 2016

Papa Bear,

	If I can get adequate cooling through the heat pump, I am going to
reconsider the sound booth. I would rather invest the same or a bit more in
soundproofing the whole room rather than building a smaller sound booth. The
whole room is only 10 X 16 or so and, with a little acoustic foam for
dampening, would have no bounce to worry about. The biggest challenge is the
noise from the window unit which would be a nonissue with adequate cooling
from the heat pump and be virtually silen. My only remaining challenge might
be sound seepage from the ceiling and some of that 2" polyfoam wallboard
attached to the ceiling would solve that, too!

You know, that's a good idea. How big is your booth going to be?

Papa bear,

	Well, I seem to remember you live in Alaska! (smile) It doesn't take
long for the Florida heat to make a south facing room very hot! I actually
have a contractor coming over on Wednesday to give me an estimate on a new
heat pump. I am going to talk to him about installing a duct fan to pull
some of the air to the end of the line!

That could work. In my project studio I just hit the fan between breaks and
takes and my clients don't complain. There are only so many basses I can
cover. I would rather invest in a mini refrigerator with free cold water
bottles than rig up a fan system IMO. If you get it going then let us know
how it works out. Take care

Papa Bear,

	Thank you very much! I did get some advice about where to get a very
quiet fan and how to prep an intake duct to reduce the noise. Basically, the
duct would have a couple turns with some sound deadening material, like
foam, inside of it. It may be a moot issue if I get a new heat pump for my
house soon!

There is no real professional answer that is going to be a budget answer. I
would say to keep a small desk fan near the door and when you have a few
minutes between takes I would open the door and sit the fan in front of it.
Anything else is going to have to take small intake fans with the ability to
close the vents to block out noise when you record and honestly it may be
more work than it's worth.
Good luck

Friends,

                I am preparing to build a soundproof recording booth in my
studio space. The studio space is a converted garage in which a central AC
duct was pulled from the existing system; however, it doesn't do a very good
job at cooling, especially during the Florida summer months, partly because
the room is on the south side of the house with little shade. As the result,
I have installed a window unit and it does an excellent job cooling the
room. The challenge for me is that it is quite noisy, especially with an
open mic. This is the reason for my interest in building a room inside the
room.

This recording booth will be about 6 (L) X 8 (W) X 7 (H). Somehow I need to
ventilate the room to bring in cool air without creating noise. Has anyone
on this list already solved this problem or have information that would help
me do so? All input is greatly appreciated. 

Fraternally yours,

Marion
