temperature regulated fan speed can reduce noise.

use of a baffle box with styrofoam or thin foam rubber lining.

       -----+-----+
fan  \/     |     |
     /\  |     |
       --+-----+---
         ^     ^
         baffles

spacing between upper and lower baffles must be equal to or larger
than diameter of fan so as to not restrict flow. also, making
enclosure 2" larger than fan will help reduce restriction.
