hang fan by chain

[shahomy]

Does anyone hang there fan(6 or 8 inch)by chains or rope? from. say floor joyces in basement ceiling? The idea is to cut down on the noise /vibration that it creates upstairs...

so your using rope BackWoodsDrifter? and is it to reduce noise? and most importantly does it reduce the noise significantly? my partner/son-in-law wants to use chains...

I use bungee cord myself...I believe there is a DIY on building a "muffle box" to lower noise.

JMO but nothing is as reliable or adjustable as a good old chain.

With that said i would mount a fan not hang it by anything, again JMO

I have my fan hanging with to straps and velcrow works pretty good

 

[shahomy]

for the record...got rid of the metal brackets for mounting the fan to the floor joyces, and hung the fan with some eyebolts and rope. 100% difference!!!! so much quieter upstairs(room above fan)

I was gonna say drill holes through the floor joists and run rope, its the metal to metal causing vibrations and noise, but glad to see you figured it out!
