I can hear the flap fall back into place immediately after the fan is
turned off, and I can also hear the flap fall back into place during
times of a strong wind blowing outside (I'm guessing due to Bernouli's
principle).

*Sure, strong winds causing a flap makes sense. I used to have that
before the new vent was installed.
But now I'm getting flaps in moderate and slight breezes, which where
I live is very common.

It seems to me that you are going to all kinds of lengths to seal the
vents when the proper thing to do would be to get the contractor back
to fix the root cause of the problem - the vent itself.

Perhaps you need a different vent or a different location.

+1 to that. *I sure would not be eliminating venting
in any of my bathrooms, for obvious reasons....- Hide quoted text -

Had another thought. *It's also possible the source of
the noise is not a flap in the roof vent itself. *Mine have
no flap there, but the typical bathroom fan has a flap
inside it that closes when the fan is off. *It's possible
the new roof vents are larger, oriented different, etc
so that maybe now the breeze is causing the flap in
the fan to make a noise.

That might also explain why it can be heard. * I would
tend to doubt that ones located at the end of a hose,
at the roof would be capable of making that much
noise back inside the house. * But then, who knows....- Hide quoted text -

The vent for my 2nd floor bathroom would be heard if it made noise.

The original exhaust hose used to make a 90 degree turn when it
entered the attic, then run about 10 through the attic and out an end
wall.

When I replaced the fan I ran the vent straight up about 2 feet and
out through the roof. Much more efficient, but literally within a
couple of feet of the fan itself. If it made noise, I'm sure I'd hear
it.

I've never had any of the condensation/dripping issues that I've heard
about, but I just replaced my roof and added soffit and ridge vents. I
don't know if the cooler attic will be an issue, but we'll see.
