DUTCH TOUCH SILENCER 200 MM

Description

DUTCH TOUCH SILENCER 200MM is the acoustic sound-reduction insert for 200mm inline fans and ducting systems, engineered to absorb the turbulent airflow noise that is the primary source of extraction system sound in most UK grow rooms. We have been recommending acoustic silencers to UK growers since 2017 because inline fans running at full capacity generate a consistent, penetrating noise profile that travels through walls and structures far more effectively than most growers anticipate before installation.

How the Dutch Touch Silencer Reduces Fan Noise

The Dutch Touch 200mm Silencer is a compact, highly effective acoustic insert that fits directly into the ducting run — typically between the fan outlet and the exterior vent — where it routes airflow through a sound-absorbing lining that dissipates turbulent air noise as heat rather than sound. The 200mm diameter matches the most popular inline extraction fan size in UK growing, including the RVK 200mm and Can-Fan 200mm series. Measured noise reduction at the outlet can be 10–15 dB, which subjectively halves the perceived noise level and makes the difference between a grow room that can be heard from adjacent rooms and one whose extraction system is effectively silent at a modest distance.

Installation for Maximum Effectiveness

Install the silencer on the exhaust side of your fan — the outlet where turbulent post-fan air creates the majority of the noise. Connect with short sections of flexible acoustic ducting between the fan and silencer to prevent vibration transmission. Ensure both flanges are connected with jubilee clips and sealed with foil tape to prevent unfiltered air bypassing the silencer. Silencers add a small resistance to airflow — account for this when selecting fan size by choosing the next extraction capacity step up from your minimum requirement. For maximum noise reduction, install a second silencer at the fan inlet as well.

Pair the Dutch Touch Silencer 200mm with a 200mm RVK extraction fan, acoustic flexible ducting, and a carbon filter for the quietest possible extraction system for a discreet UK growing environment.
