This might have been true a couple of years ago, but today most manufacturers produce bathroom fans that produce no more than 0.5 sones. <strong>This is why I think whenever you buy a new bathroom fan it should be less than 0.5 sones.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 Sones is much louder than 0.5 sones, therefore I argue that 0.5 should be considered quiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have compiled a list of whisper quiet bathroom fans that I believe are truly quiet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All manufacturers quote their sone ratings at 0.1 in. w.g static pressure. <strong>This basically means a very short duct or no duct at all. So if your duct is 20 ft long expect a lot more noise than quoted.<\/strong> The longer the duct the harder the fan must work to push out the air. This in turn creates more noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that all sone values are given with the largest duct available for a given fan.<em> (Using a 4-inch duct on a 6-inch fan will increase the loudness by 30%)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>You can find a <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/sone-to-decibel-calculator\/\" data-lasso-id=\"663\">Sones to Decibels calculator here.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <strong>I will start with the quietest bathroom fan on the market today.<\/strong> <em>(&Iacute; will update this list periodically as the technology advances and better products come out)<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"lazyblock-nutshell-115fLu wp-block-lazyblock-nutshell\"><p class=\"has-text-align-left has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#e7d1b1;color:#575f60;font-size:18px\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"50\" class=\"wp-image-3497\" style=\"width: 200px;\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11.png 600w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11-300x75.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"50\" class=\"wp-image-3497 lazyload\" style=\"width: 200px;\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11.png.webp\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11.png.webp 600w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11-300x75.png.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-2\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><br><strong>A quiet bathroom will be rated below 0.5 sones.

This is a very low profile bathroom fan. It fits perfectly in a 2 by 4 construction. The housing depth is only 3 3\/8 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The integrated damper on this, to be honest on 90% of the exhaust fans for sale today is just a simple gravity-operated flap. This means that if you don&rsquo;t have any other damper installed in your duct,<strong> it can be very noisy when it is windy outside<\/strong>. This Is why I recommend installing a high-quality butterfly damper instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/bathroom-fan-noise-windy\/\" data-lasso-id=\"678\"><strong>Read more about butterfly dampers and why bathroom fans make noise when windy.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The duct is oval because the overall depth is less than the duct size. Regular 4&Prime; round flexible duct will fit onto it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is approved for both ceiling and wall installations. As far as I know, it is the only low profile 0.3 sone bathroom fan that can be installed both vertically and horizontally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-central-palette-1-background-color has-background\">If you are interested in low-profile bath fans.
