I bought one to reduce outside noise, which way shall face outside?

The flat side goes against the wall with the side with the ridges facing into the room.

The BROWN side faces UP. Hope that helps. It's the best barrier I've found, & I've tried LOTS!!

Two ways. Outside or inside. But you need a full sided helmet, can't use a skull helmet for these

The typical answer is to put on a baffle or screen of foam; like those you see on announcer mics on TV at outdoor events. You could use a bit of packing foam to do the job, or even a layer of cloth. This will reduce the rumble from wind. Secure with a tie wrap or wire tie.

I use it on my covered deck. I didn't mount it. I would imagine, if you are going high with it, the speaker outward facing would be better than straight up.

The woofer should face a solid surface or the ground. I mounted mine horizontally about 8 feet off the ground. The mid and tweeter face directly toward the sitting area.

Yes. It's noisy when air moves through with the unit off, when it's windy outside. It's probably best to use an outside vent cover that has a good built in flap.

It pretty much covers 360 degrees from my experience. Even when I'm in my kitchen (it's by the front door) it barks from movement. It you only want it to work facing one direction, you'd need to put something around the area where you don't want it to respond to make it directional.

It blows outside. You're looking to exhaust filtered air? What am I missing?

The Speaker works well in most noise conditions. It is possible if the street noise is loud enough you might have a slight Problem hearing it clearly. So unless there is a lawn mower going close by you should be fine.

I guess it depends on where you are going to use it. By your bed at night, maybe a little noisy, on a screened in back patio, pretty quiet. Overall I would lean towards quiet.

You mean in the back. Looking at the picture, the right side is the front leading side that faces the front of the trailer and will take the headwind when going down the road. Looking again at the picture, the left side will be the rear of the vent where the louvers are located and will be facing the back of the trailer. Hope that made it more clearer for you.

I installed mine with the slanted lip out and facing the ground. I also installed a storm shield threshold-highly recommend. Consider running a bead of black caulk to seal the crevice between the edge of the garage door and the seal (Water can get in-between and if you have a wood garage door it will rot the wood).

You could, if you wanted, turn the speakers horizontally if the angle you want is too steep

It will diminish any noise to some degree, but if it's coming from outside, putting it in the window will block some of it. These work best to keep sound from bouncing off walls.

No, The air direction is one way, the wrong way for what you would like to do. The bag or blower tube is on the outlet side. The mulch/vac tubes are on the intake side.

If there's a bedroom right above they're going to hear it. Regarding neighbors, if you're in a multi-unit townhouse our something similar they're going to hear it as well. If you're in a SFR it's no problem unless you're screaming like Bruce Lee. Regardless, my suggestion would be to add a good strong spring to your set-up to take stress off the wood beam/mount and to also reduce noise somewhat.
