One of the absolute worst things about cooker hoods, in my view, is the
noise they make. Have been looking around and seen, for example, some
Bosch ones are claimed to be super-quiet.

What I have been wondering is whether this is classic marketing - sure
you can cut the noise, you turn the fan down so low it is useless. And
at the other end, I suspect all of them are noisy at full speed.

I also like the idea that some don't end up with sharp corner, foreheads
for the gouging of. And if they are going to have lights, LEDs with
decent colour rendering.

Suggestions of how to choose a decent, quiet cooker hood - without
completely busting the bank - including specific makes and models.

You can get traffic noise comes in via the duct too.
