    It is possible that it will help BUT unless the system is designed properly from the start the noise problem will persist but it might not be as bad.

    I have two questions about our noise problem coming from our HVAC blower.

    If I have the return and air flow going straight into the fan (about 12 inches or so of duct work between the fan and return grill):

    1. What angle should I have the sheet metal baffle?
    2. What does the sheet metal baffle look like?

    My HVAC contractor wants to charge me $750 to produce and install the sheet metal baffle to "greatly" reduce the noise. I have friends who can fabricate the sheet metal baffle if I give them more instructions, but we have no idea about HVAC and metal baffles.

    Thanks in advance.
