Indoor Inline fan bad vibration

[BigD1128]

i just mounted an inline fan to the back of my cabinet. It is mounted with 2 screws on the backside of my cabinet. This small fan is intense it dropped my high temps instantly! The only issue is it has a humming vibration that I can't seem to get rid of. Does anyone have any tips to help get rid of this vibration before my wife kills me?

I apologize. I believe I posted this in the wrong forum.

suspend from bungie cords.put it in an acoustic box.put it in a cardbox box,then fill the box with expanding foam.bit of a last resort that one.

I've used rubber grommets to dampen the sound. Use one for each screw.

Also a speed/temp controller helps, it may not need to run 100%.

I have been searching online and the speed control seems to be a popular solution. I will try rubber grommets and if no luck I will try the controller. Thanks!

Hang it rather than fixing it with screws ,making a rubber gasket ,i actually used long screws with about an inch of folded up thick towel material inbetween the fan and the roof acting as a gasket and it did the job ,now i just hang mine thru the screwholes as its fitted to a cooltube and carbon filter

Grommets have gotten my wife off my back. The vibration is almost gone. Thank you!!

I am seriously excited. The cabinet is holding steady at 77F. It hasn't been this low since February.
