Acoustic bobbins?
It's neighbour placation time! We've got a grumpy neighbour who's complaining (still) about a buzzing noise coming through the party
wall into their flat. To be fair it does create a fridge like hum in their flat...
So- how can I isolate it from the wall without getting all fancy with maths and calculations?
Rubber bobbins (like exhaust bobbins) to dampen the vibration? suspend the fan in mid air on springs like old microphones?!?!?
Ideas please? Preferably cheap as chips!!

whats causing the hum?
But both your suggestions are sound (excuse the pun  )but if using rubber, the softer the better.

Shotgun was my first thought.
The hum is the vibration coming from the fan resonating up through the wall....

Better quality fan.
If it was a cheapy, it won't be balanced and will probably have cheap bearings.
Try a well known brand first, like Vent Axia etc. Solve the problem, rather than mask it.
(IMHO)

May I reccomend Messers Noel O Rourke and sons?
They'll go round and tell your neighbours to zip it or they'll post their dog back to them in fifteen seperate parcels.....
Cheers

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

Genius! Except it's the ventilation fan for a tanked basement flat so it's kind of important unless we want to grow magic mushrooms on the
walls
