Acoustic Trickle Vents?
Having recently moved into a new build apartment, the noise through the
trickle vents in the bedroom window is driving me mad. Ironically, the spare bedroom (which faces a railway line) has acoustic vents through the wall rather than trickle vents through the window frames and it is *much* quieter than the master bed where the trickle vents (even when closed) let in way too much noise from the nearby road and passers by. I have been trying to find some sort of acoustic trickle vent to replace them with but thus far have only found the DN range from Greenwood (http://www.greenwood.co.uk/data/DN%2...ta%20sheet.pdf) which unfortunately doesn't come in the size I need. Can anyone suggest any others? thanks, David |

Just to mention that ventilation without transmitting noise *can* be done. I was once involved with a 1 ft sq ventilation duct built like a car or gun silencer http://www.kwik-fit.com/how-exhausts-work.asp. It reduced the noise level from well over 100db inside to maybe 50db outside, a public space. Hate to think how much that cost. Maybe a large bore gun silencer would work, or I found this http://lanephillips.net/projects/silencer/ which would probably work, if made out of durable materials. -- Dave Fawthrop dave hyphenologist co uk Google Groups is IME the *worst* method of accessing usenet. GG subscribers would be well advised get a newsreader, say Agent, and a newsserver, say news.individual.net. These will allow them: to see only *new* posts, a killfile, and other goodies. |
