You don't want one too long though. I tried putting ducting on an s4 I had and the temps actually increased as it didn't have enough power to move all the air in the tube.

Yes, I thought about this too. But I can always cut it) Anyway, I'll try it, this method seems to be good
And there is much difference in s4 and s7 design, where fans are placed, so I think ducting for s7 will be better than for s4

downclock the freq from 700 to 500 and set the fans to 35% or 40% if you put it in the tube

Noise comes from the fans!
Change the cooling system and that will improve it!
Also:
1. try changing the fans and if not then change the cooling system for something such as water.
2. Putting the miner close to an open window?
3. Or host the miner at a family member's house and find a way to transfer elecricity to them)?
4. Pay for a miner hosting contract from a place like miningsweden.se (if they accept that)

You could always change the fans first for the same size but quieter. I think scythe do a kaze fan that fits. It doesn't push the same amount of air so temps may rise (you need to take into account ambient temp aswell) but it will be quieter.

Thanks, I'll research this way. But this also will destroy warranty immediately, that's also the point

Hello folks!
Eventually I got my S7 shipped, set it up and started mining (PPC not BTC); but!
It's really noisy (I just didn't expect it will be SO noisy), and my place doesn't allow me to handle such noise. I'm living in appartment house (mansions or whatever, I don't know how to translate it properly), so there are a lot of neighbours around, and also it is quite annoying for me, because there is not much sq/m (about 60)
What am I actually thinking about (want to know your opinion and take some advice maybe):
To make a box 1x1x1m, put some sound isolating pannels inside of it on all 6 sides of the box (those pannels are used in sound recording studios http://img25.olx.ua/images_slandocomua/82363553_2_644x461_zvukoizolyatsiya-zvukoizolyatsionnye-paneli-2h1-m-fotografii.jpg), make 2 holes from 2 sides of the box for ventilation tubes (aproximately 15cm diameter) and point that tubes straight into the window. What do you think about this idea?
I think it can help significantly, but I'm not sure) Huh

Or maybe you can suggest any other ideas how to reduce noise?

Thanks!
