Box fan or Exhaust fan for blocking traffic noise
Hi, I have lot of traffic noise near my balcony. I cannot open the window and thus feel suffocated. I want to place a fan at my window so that I can block the noise. Which fan is best to prevent the noise to enter through my window? 1) Box fan 2) Exhaust fan. (NOTE: I don't want to close my window)

A box fan will do nothing to reduce noise, when you look at it, most of the fan is open anyway.
An exhaust fan could help with air movement, and with a longer and probably insulated pipe, will reduce the sound coming through the pipe. But with an exhaust fan, you won't get the breeze feeling - you'll just get air movement. Do you want outside are coming in, or inside air going out? Where will the make-up air come from?
