Are quiet bathroom fans really quiet or is it my installation?
# Fred # wrote: Wife purchased three of the quiet Broan QT080L bathroom exhaust fans with light and night light. I tested it out on the kitchen table and it was quiet so then I proceeded with the installation in the downstairs 1/2 bathroom. The bathroom is down to studs and subfloor with all insulation removed for remodel. The Broan has a 4" duct connection but the house has 3". Once everything was connected, the fan wasn't all that quiet. The noise was from both fan vibration and wind. Its still more quiet than the old noisy fan but I could hear the new fan from upstairs. The mounting is solid to joist per instruction and the connection to the 3" duct is tight. I suppose once I close up the ceiling and walls with insulation it would not be as bad. Are quiet fans really all that quite? Maybe should have purchased Panasonic fans instead - its the same price. The ultra |
