To measure an air return grille, start by measuring the width and height of the grille opening in inches or centimeters. Use a tape measure to ensure accuracy, measuring from the inside edges of the frame. Additionally, note any mounting hardware or frame dimensions that may affect the installation. Finally, ensure to account for any clearance needed for airflow around the grille.
If it is the airflow that is making the noise, this is caused by undersized ducts. If you recently had your equipment replaced be sure the airflow is set properly for the size equipment you have. If it is, look into increasing the return air grille size. That may give you some improvement. If the noise is still objectionable the duct size will probably need to be increased.
Return air risers are vertical ducts in a building's HVAC system that facilitate the return of air from various floors back to the air handling unit. They help maintain proper airflow and air circulation by allowing the heated or cooled air to return efficiently for reconditioning. Properly designed return air risers are crucial for maintaining indoor air quality and energy efficiency in multi-story buildings.
This is a ventilation system question. The return air path is the route (usually through ducting but could be through some other route such as a window or vent) that the air takes. Typically a building ventilation system would have both supply and extract systems. The return air path is this.
air operated- spring return
None. Probably the home was built for forced air and converted to boiler/baseboard heating.
A return air grille is where air returns to the furnace to be filtered and heated or cooled and re circulated through the air supply grilles.
return grille size times 2 gives u the amount of cfms u are getting out of the return air grille, i.e. 10x10x2=200cfms...
You will hear air circulating in the cold air return (or return air grille) when the heater or air conditioner is running.

A cold air return is similar to a return air grille, which is needed for air to travel to the furnace to be filtered, heated OR cooled and then recirculated.
You do not ever want to block or restrict air flow to a return air grille.
No. Anytime you operate your ac or heater, air must circulate through the return air grille.
Try looking where the return air duct connects to the furnace, if not there the next place to look is in the return air grille in the living space. Either way it is somewhere in the return air duct between the grille and the furnace.
Somewhere between the return air grille in the home and the return air duct connection on the furnace.
Supply and return grille locations are figured by the HVAC engineer or the contractor.
Wet bulb temperature is measured as part of the air temperature when a heater is running. It is measured at the return air grille (near the return air duct) or at the supply air grille (near the supply air duct). It is important to measure wet bulb temperature in the heating mode because it indicates the amount of moisture in the air and helps to determine the amount of cooling or heating that is needed. Wet bulb temperature is measured at the return air grille.Wet bulb temperature is measured at the supply air grille.Measuring wet bulb temperature in the heating mode helps to determine the amount of cooling or heating needed.
Air return duct and filter grille size is dictated by the size of the unit (CFM) not the size of the house.
