Yup... air noise because of undersized RA ductwork because it wasn't done
right to begin with. The blower noise is being transmitted through the duct
and also the joists that the furnace is sitting on.
Correct the ductwork issues like I told you, isolate the furnace so its not
sitting on the joists(either hang it, or use isolation pads), and in
addition, add a vibration isolation boot between the new RA duct and the
furnace.
No its not gonna be free. your can either correct it as I told you or you
can live with it.... there is no bandaid.

Hi,
I wonder what the noise level is in db measured with sound(noise) level
meter???? Is the reading in danger zone to damage hearing for long term
exposure?

To the ONE person in this newsgroup who replied with TWO, count 'em TWO
lines of text pointing me to relevant technical information...
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
To those of you who insist that a noise problem is always an "undersized
duct problem"...in spite of experiments demonstrating that it
was NOT air noise...well...NO THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
Contractor came out today. This dumb ol EE told him what to do.
He disregarded his work order and did what I asked. The system is now
as quiet as the proverbial church mouse.
To those of you who just like to bitch...have at each other...I'm outa here.
