or branches, and particularly dampers. Poorly constructed lightweight
dampers have a tendency to vibrate. Dampers at terminal units, e.g.,
VAV boxes, may be noisy if the entering air pressure is too high. Sound
is always generated when a fluid passes from a high-pressure region
to a lower-pressure one. Improperly braced duct sidewalls may flex in
resonant motion, creating a rumbling sound.
All these things apply also to the return air system, and because
the return air path is usually shorter than the supply air path, the
return air duct / plenum system is often an acoustic problem.
