Ice fans for listening during warm/hot days


Anybody have recommendations for the most quiet and strongest fans where you put ice or some sort of ice pack in a table top fan? A fan alone doesn't do it for me and my air conditioner takes all the nuance out of the music. (unfortunately no central air.) I even have to turn up the volume on my TV which is very annoying because you have people shouting at you above the din.

Anybody use these to listen to music during warm/hot days and found extremely good ones even when you have to sit right near them? There are quite a few choices on Amazon.

Thank you.

A little trick I have used for years is a 240 volt fan (like a small PC box fan) running at 120 volts so it is half speed and practically silent. If you need more airflow then this won't do it. I set it over the tubes on my preamp and with the perforated lid it pulls air through and out of the tube area.

This is all for naught once the A/C kicks on in my room and the airflow noise is annoying for several minutes. Win some. Lose some.

I always wanted to rig up a duct to the attic space to totally exhaust the hot air. But I don't have enough component heat to justify that fun project.
