If you wanted to make such an approach practical, you would need to have separate section in your "outer box" for air intake/exhaust, then have either intake or exhaust from the inner (wool bagged) box communicate dirextly to the outer box, protected from the opposing-flow air through the rest of the inner box. Once sealed away from the opposing-flow, however, you could then baffle that flow with wool for sound absorption & filtration as well. | |

Fixed a few typos.

That has the added benefit of being naturally porous so I wouldn't actually need independent air vents too... I could use a frame and make a sealed steel-wool-bag effectively around the entire frame with many thick layers of steel wool... This would both filter the air, and require zero individual air-vents so the sound of the air intake and exhaust would be diffused across the entire thing which would likely further dampen the sound, and cool the air. This is a very interesting thought! Thanks! | |
