Nutone, Broan or Panasonic bath fans seem to be what's available locally.
Looking for a very, very quiet fan.

Any recommendations?

Any other brands to consider?

Thanks.

Fantech

I was visiting this very topic a while back, the consensus seemed to be
Panasonic or Fantech. I haven't bought anything yet because I still
need to pull wiring and get SWMBO's consensus on planning.

I bought a Panasonic bath fan and it is EXTREMELY quiet! But then
what else would you expect from the fine brand of Panasonic. Got mine
online for 75$. I forget the site, but look around online. When you
figure out the size you need you can google it, get the model, google
the model number and find some real bargains!

Thanks for the tip about Panasonic. I have been leaning toward this
brand. Looked at Fantech with their remote fan. If only I could use it,
however. I have a small building without an attic or crawlspace to
install it. Will pursue the Panasonic. Thanks, again.

Hi,

We have Panasonic and we like them very much. Avoid like the plague
NuTone. Just listen to one at Home Depot it sounds like JFK 260 East.

Best, Mike.

I know what you mean. I'm leaning toward Panasonic WhisperGreen series.

You were probably listening to the cheap one. They offer very quiet
ones for a little more money. You can pay $20 or $120 for a fan. Quiet
and more CFMs cost more. The one I bought is very quite ($120)
Noise is measure in sones, with the lower the better.

I suspect they all offer different levels of sound and CFM ratings. I
bought the Nutone from HD and it is very quiet while having a 120 CFM
rating.
One thing I like about Nutone is that you can get parts for them real
easy. In my last house I replaced the guts of the 25 Year old Nutone
bathroom fans very easily with a new motor/fan assembly.
