Could I use these when installing an attic fan to head off any vibration?

Yes, they would work great on vent fan or whole house fan. If vent fan be sure not to put the fan on bedroom side of house to avoid any noise issues.

Possibly, the best option for installation on a fan is to use a combination of Sorbothane washers and bushings. The Sorbothane 0510002-50 bushing and 0510001-50 washer are designed to work together to create a complete bushing isolating the fan at each of it's standard mounting points. The bushings require a 1/2" hole in the fan mounting points and are sized to fit 1/4" bolts. When mounting a fan you want to make sure that you have complete isolation, ie. the bolts do not directly contact the fan mount. While that may be possible with these discs, the bushing arrangement is designed to provide more complete vibration isolation.

I would think so, but I would feel that it may be a bit difficult because the length of the fan cable is pretty long and than when you add an adapter it's even longer. So it depends if you want it quieter or not.

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.

They are made to stop the vibrations of heavy machinery where the heavy machinery is the source. In your case the source of the vibration is the neighbor's feet. I'm not sure it would work, but I can't rule it out either. You could experiment first with cutting up an old bath rug and placing it under each of the bed's feet to see if you notice any difference prior to spending more money.

They should be fine for that. The leaf blowers I've used in the past didn't produce that much noise volume. However, I would just use regular foam earplugs. They block out more dBs. The etymotic's are specially designed to reduce noise for all frequencies of sound evenly to retain the high quality of music. Since you don't really want to hear any part of the leaf blower you might as well just block out more dBs.

The first step is to run the fan before mounting it. It should have no perceptible vibration. If it does, the propeller is out of balance -- return it for a new one.Once it passes that test, use rubber grommets (vibration isolation bushings) at the three points where the fan frame attaches to the steel venturi. You'll need longer bolts to do this. No steel hardware should touch the fan frame -- properly mounted in this way, the rubber bushings will absorb vibration. I have two of these and there is no vibration noise -- just the whooshing of air.

That's what I use and they work like a dream. I bought a rubber riser to reduce vibration. Its great.

No. Sadly, I do not think they would be strong enough. It muffles out background noise.

I don't think you will notice. If you have access to a regular box fan, take it to the attic and let it run on the low setting. If you can't hear it, then you won't notice this fan. Hope that helps.

Absolutely! You just would not be able to have the window down too far, but actually the base is somewhat heavy from housing 2 "D" batteries. Love these fans! Good output of air flow and not obtrusively loud.

I don't think so, the crystals might break or it will have a lot of noise from the fan's vibrations

These might cause the fan to increase the noise if running at full speed, but this is expected from any filter. I would only install them on intake fans, they really catch a lot of dust.

I have no idea on that. You would need to contact the manufacturer. We ended up adding another fan in our attic because it is so big. They don't require much power at all. You can't even hear them going. Boy have they made a huge difference in our electric bill.

I wouldn't see why not. This unit basically turns on and off the flow of electricity. I would think you could use this for any fan. I don't believe my fan is a Nutone.

No! Require too much power and are "semi-open" meaning they will leak sound to those around you.

Yes, you can. But it you intend to have it on low, there'll be a problem. At the low setting, this fan (and I bought two of them) makes a horrendous racket. I don't recommend it. I sent both of mine back.

Yes, you can. These are two separate small electrical fans that come installed in a common metal frame and connected together to work as one. You can detach them from the metal frame where they are fastened by 4 metal screws each one.
