Rant: My coal forge almost got me a noise complaint last week

Honestly, I was working late on a set of fireplace tools in my backyard shop. I had the blower cranked up to get a good welding heat on some 1/2 inch stock. My neighbor, who just moved in three months ago, came over at 10 PM and said the constant drone was 'like a jet engine'. I had to shut down with the weld half done. Has anyone else had to deal with this, or found a quieter blower setup that still moves enough air?

Try a box fan blower, they're way quieter.

Ugh, been there. @elliotadams is right about box fans, they're a game changer.

Remember when those little clip-on fans were all the rage? Mine broke after a week.
