Can you recommend a low-speed, low-noise fan for this tent? Is it better to have one influx and one exhaust?

Hi- depending on the light you will use, most likely you'll need one intake and one exhaust fan, I use thisLEDwholesalers GYO2402 6-Inch 240 CFM Air Duct Inline Hydroponic Booster ... for the exhaust because it fits the cut-out in the tent. I just use a piddly little fan in front of a vent for intake.

I used a 4" inline exhaust 100 cfm with t5 light...that was enough to keep the tent at around 80degrees or less...if you are using hps...you might need a little more pull...intake fan isn't necessary...just a small clip fan to keep the air moving

I've travelled with it. It's fairly small compared with other fans I've used. I assume you're using it for white noise like me. It's perfect for that :)

4 elements. We have an older house with lower ceilings, and one keeps our living room comfortable, and not at all noisy. Yes, there is a fan but I don't think it's any louder than my central heating fan. In a bigger space I would buy one bigger unit than use up 2 smaller units more quickly.

I consider this fan quiet. Even at low speed (on #1 setting) the fan pushes a lot of air.

You don't need to have the fan on if you are using it for the home theater. I believe it was designed for several network equipment running simultaneously. It doesn't bother me the noise, but I don't feel the need. The rack is excellent quality for what I paid. They raised the price by a couple hundred dollars right after I placed my order.

Almost tooo powerful as an exhaust fan- much cheaper and quieter alternatives

That 400 fan would work Perfert. That's what I have for about same size room. I hooked up a fan speed controller. That hydro fan is awesome!

Well this question would depend on a personal feeling of what is noisy so I'll do my best. I took this product with me camping. When camping it's obviously totally quiet except for bird sounds and such. The fan was on since it was hot. The low mode is VERY quiet and I think anyone would agree. The high mode gives more substantial cooling effect and I was surprised it wasn't louder. So by my scale the high fan function is about a 4 or 5 out of 10 on the noisy scale. I think you'll be impressed.

10 CFM probably will not make a lot of difference. 1 Sone is a significant difference in the level of noise. I think the quietest fans are rated at 2 sons, and 6 is extremely loud and the highest that it gets. The scale is just from 2 to 6. One sone difference on this scale is significant. I think it definitely worth it. I upgraded one bathroom fan, the noise reduction was huge. Now I am ordering another one for the laundry room.

In my opinion it sounds like a two speed fan .Set it on Low or high speed for consistant sound.I like the same level of sound wave all night.

The 3 Amp should be a good choice to run that fan. I have a Vornado 510B (which is similarly rated) and I run it between 50-75% voltage to get absolute quiet operation and it works beautifully.

I agree with David Moore, The only one that I had noise from was mounting to the rafters on a 1 foot 8 inch tube. I think the bungee cord is a good fix. I must also say, I have two of these fans. The other one also mounted on the rafter with a very short tube and it runs quiet and smooth.

if you want a super quiet fan, this might not be the one. I was able to dampen the noise by having a 4' piece of 8" duct work (on fan exit side) to "muffle" the exit noise, and hung the fan on rubber bungee cords. they do make super quiet fans, but expect to pay a very premium price (300.00+ for an 8" fan).

I have the dual fans (4000 cfm) ... using to cool a 355 SBC they are quality units, work fine, however, they draw a lot of juice and are noise.I had to go to a 140 amp. alternator to carry the load. I'm going to put seperateswitches so I can run 1 fan on cool days and 2 only when needed to drop the loadand noise. engine mounted in a '74 260Z roadster conversion with tight engine bayso cooling, even with an alum. rad. and ceramic coated headers a task. Fans did the trick.

A carbon filter with adjustable speed control will take warm air and contaminated air out. You dont need much air flow in because the t5's dont create any heat. I know this because I run Lush LED lighting. YOu will also want a small dehumidifier to keep humidity under 50%. Don't freak out when the the tent sucks inward. That is good because you have the right enviroment inside the tent.

The quiet edition fans are still a bit too loud for my tastes. It really is about silence or more air ventilation. Which the AF does better IMO.

My truck does not have rear exhaust, so I have no experience with that. But as long as there is some space to slide the "tunnel" fabric between the exhaust pipe and the rear bumper, and assuming the exhaust pipe doesn't get hot (I've never touched one that might be), I think exhaust would not be your biggest problem. IMO, your biggest problem is the limited HVAC capacity of the vehicle and the lack of insulation of the tent. For environmental reasons, PLEASE don't run your engine extensively while camping. And if other tent campers are in the vicinity, please consider that they didn't come that far to hear your engine noises. Thank you.
