How do I make my grow tent fan quieter?

Short answer

Turn it down with a speed controller, hang it so it doesn't touch anything, and keep the ducting straight.

A lot of the noise is vibration through the tent frame or ducting, not the air itself. Hang the fan on rubber-lined straps or a soft mount, and use a bigger fan on low speed, which is quieter than a small one at full speed. Stretch flexible ducting tight, because slack, ribbed hose rattles and adds resistance.

Start with a fan controller and decent ducting.
