Abstract
A fan module for a vehicle seat, comprising a housing which defines at least one portion of an air-conducting duct and accommodates an air conveyor providing, in a position of use, an airflow inside the duct. To reduce disturbances caused by noise during the operation of the fan module it is proposed that the housing and/or the duct comprises at least one sound outlet opening in the flow direction of the airflow downstream behind the air conveyor and transversely with respect to the flow direction of the airflow, which is covered by a sound-absorbing material.
