Cold air returns in my basement
I'm in the final stages of completing my basement development and I have a quick question about my cold air return. I planned for the cold air return to vent into the family room but I question if I should have it vent into the bedroom as well (they share a wall).
Is this overkill?

Keep in mind that noise can travel quite easily through return air ducts. If this is not a problem then I think you are asking if both rooms should have a return air connection, and if so, the answer is yes.

I'm a big believer in circulating as much air as possible so I would put them just about anywhere you can. That said, Furd is correct - air circulation also means noise circulation.

Hmmm.... With that being said, I won't vent on both sides of the wall. I would ideally like to have one more in the basement. How hard is it to vent another return?
