A ventilated cage and rack system for assembly by a user using simple tools and a method for assembly is provided. A plurality of frames and vertical plenums can be connected to a base, and a retaining assembly can be used to connect a plurality of vertical beams and horizontal support beams. A plurality of canopies is preferably used to connect the plenums and the support beams to shroud cages beneath the canopies. The canopies preferably include removable side walls to adapt to the width of the cage being shrouded. A plenum clean out system preferably provides a relatively simple method of draining a cleaning fluid from a plenum by moving a lever between an open and closed position. A pressure based plenum system is also provided wherein a constant air pressure is maintained in the ventilated rack system and air is provided into a cage at a constant air pressure.

A sound reducing system comprises a housing, acoustic baffle, and acoustic netting. The acoustic baffle is covered with a waterproof protective casing which protects the acoustic baffle from dirt and moisture without interfering with its acoustic properties, and allows it to be cleaned with fluids. The housing comprises an inner pan and an outer pan which are pivotally coupled. The acoustic baffle and the acoustic netting are disposed within the housing, but can be removed for cleaning when the housing is opened. When the acoustic baffle and acoustic netting members are placed back within the housing, they are protected from damage.
