or you can install a dreyer type vent and run the duct into the room
and leave the end of the duct open in the room near the furnace.

the room will be kept warm by the funrace and the vent will provide a
source of air to replace the air that the furnace uses .


True. In my old house, my forced air oil furnace was in a hall closet with
louvered doors which was too noisy. I cut a vent going into the attic and
then installed a solid door. It cut down on the noise and did not effect the
operation (return was in the ceiling).
