If I buy a better model Broan (same size unit) can I simply put it in

Check out Panasonic fans, we put one in the kitchen and it's so quiet it's
hard to tell when it's running and yet it moves a ton of air. �I wish we'd
known about them when we were doing the bathroom, we have an Air King in
there (supplied by the electrician) that sounds like a jet engine in
comparison.

if you want quiet anstall a remote fan, blower is at exit and sucks
the air out, install a louver in the door for make up air.

but inspect everything, sounds like the duct is blocked somehow
