Title: noise solution?
Post by: sevenmiles on November 24, 2017, 05:24:35 AM
my miners in the basement really bother me ... and my wife .. even it is in basement ...
the noise makes the basement a painful place to stay ... especially the ant miners ... usually over 80 db...
any suggestion?
i put some thing on the wall, such as 24 Pack - Ice Blue/Charcoal Acoustic Panels Studio Foam Wedges 1" X 12" X 12", hope to reduce the noise level...
but really cannot feel the improvement

turn the power (reduce heat) & fans down (reduce noise)?

If its in the basement, add insulation between your main floor and your basement. It should make it less noisy. However probably very expensive if you have a large basement.

I don’t have an antminer I have an Avalon 741 but I am guessing the sound is similar. When it gets warm it sounds like a vacuum cleaner however when it is very cool it is quiet. I moved mine into my shop and it was loud out there during the summer but now it is cold outside it is surprisingly quiet.

I don’t have any ideas off the top of my head but if you could get it really cool it would cut down on the fan speed and noise dramatically.

The product in my video is pretty good.  Home Depot sells a 4 ft by 75 ft roll.
