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.
SA stands for supply air. Air is delivered to your space from a sort of air handling unit(fan). This is the conditioned air whether heat or cooling. This air would be returned to the air handling unit to be reconditoned through the return air(RA) duct .
what is the best quiet air sleeve conditioner
You will hear air circulating in the cold air return (or return air grille) when the heater or air conditioner is running.
Any air conditioner will do, but a quiet one is best. Consider GE's quiet air conditioner line, as they shouldn't wake infants.
There really are not any cons to having a quiet air compressor. The pros are many. There's nothing like a quiet running machine without all the clicks and clanks.
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.
All Oreck air purifiers are reasonably quiet. It's more of a white noise that's very quiet. You shouldn't have any issue.
The amount of air inspired and expired during a normal quiet breath is called tidal volume.
Several online stores carry quiet air compressors and I've listed a few of them for your convenience; www.silentaire.com/silentaire/aboutus.asp - www.quietaircompressors.buyerzone.com - www.aircompressors.bizrate.com
An AC runs at a quiet would be 40 dB.

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.
Cold air return vents are the ones on the wall
