Wind entering the duct from outside causes rattling. Wind can also pick up the damper flaps and drop them again, causing a banging.<\/strong> <\/p><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Two Main Types of Noise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Range hoods that are making a noise when it&rsquo;s windy are typically either rattling or banging (or both).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rattling-type noises<\/strong> are the result of outside air blowing into the duct through the external vent. This air comes in gusts and creates a turbulent airflow within the ventilation system, made worse by any bends in the ductwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Turbulent airflow bumps against the sides of the ducts, causing them to vibrate and rattle. The rattling is carried through the system and out of the range hood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banging noises are the result of incorrectly functioning backdraft dampers. These are equipped with flaps that can, in certain circumstances, be picked up and dropped by the wind, causing them to bang closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following video clearly demonstrates this (but turn the volume down, as the sound is quite loud).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Stop your Kitchen Vent from Banging in the Wind\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3pOFGX3N8hk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explaining Backdraft Dampers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/ultimate-backdraft-damper-guide-all-you-need-to-know\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2099\">backdraft damper<\/a> that I mentioned before is a device used to allow air to travel through the ducts in only one direction, namely outward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea is to prevent exhausted air from just blowing back into the house and also to keep outside air from entering the house as this creates noise and can also <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/range-hood-cold-air-solution\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"8472\">create annoying drafts<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Metal flaps with one-way hinges and various operating mechanisms are what allow backdraft dampers to perform this function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dampers can be installed where the vent terminates, as seen in the video above, behind the range hood, or in-line along the ductwork. Sometimes there is more than one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\"

personal preference is an in-line spring-operated backdraft damper: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>They are less affected by wind blowing past and against roofs and walls because they are not sitting flush with the outside of the house. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They stop the rattling better than dampers located behind the range hood because by the time these backdraft dampers stop the wind, it has already rattled through the ductwork.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The fact that the flaps are held closed by spring tension, means that only really strong winds have the potential to pick them up and drop them to cause banging. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I would specifically recommend the AC Infinity spring-operated backdraft dampers if you have round range hood ducts. <\/p>\n\n\n<div

They control the safety of construction and infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to houses in the USA, we look to the International Residential Codes (IRC), which are generalized, and the the local building codes, which are based on the IRC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/codes.iccsafe.org\/content\/IRC2021P1\/chapter-15-exhaust-systems#IRC2021P1_Pt05_Ch15_SecM1503.3\" target=\"_blank\">Section M1503.3<\/a> of the IRC, vented range hoods must be equipped with backdraft dampers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Range hoods don&rsquo;t just remove hot air, like <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/bathroom-fan-noise-windy\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"531\">bathroom fans<\/a> for which dampers are optional. They also remove grease, smoke, and various other by-products of the cooking process, which can negatively impact indoor air quality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why it&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/is-a-range-hood-necessary\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1100\">really important<\/a> to stop the air from blowing back into the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the rattling noise heard through your range hood ventilation system is caused by wind blowing freely through the ducts because there is no backdraft damper, then the issue is non-compliance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to install a backdraft damper to solve the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Back Draft Damper Installation - How to install a damper\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3G73h3qZ280?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Video demonstrating how to properly install a backdraft damper<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Stop Extractor Fan Drafts - Fit a Backdraft Shutter \/\/ Energy Saving Tip!\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kt8d8Yj-qG8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Demonstration of installation behind extraction device (please note that the damper might need to be secured better or sealed around in order to fully stop backdrafts).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Backdraught Shutter Medium\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XImhkL-ZlXE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This video shows that you can install the dampers along the duct system. However, there are a few issues with this specific setup, including the fact that <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/reasons-duct-tape-never-used-ducts\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"27057\">duct tape is not acceptable for use on ducts<\/a>. Use this video only to see that you can separate ducts, install the damper, and then reconnect them.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Tips to make it a successful solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Choose a high-quality backdraft damper made of good materials<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure it is the right size for the ducts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure it is installed correctly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Backdraft Dampers Can Break<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Backdraft damper flaps can crack, chip, and warp over time as a result of wear and tear, production defaults, shipping\/handling damage, or incorrect installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this happens, the solution is to replace the damper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way that they can break is if the operating mechanism fails. Wear and tear, production defaults, and shipping\/handling damage can negatively impact all the mechanisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last video above demonstrates the loss of spring tension that can occur over time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, electrically-operated dampers can suffer from the effects of power surges, exposure to water, and wire damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the operating mechanism fails, the solution is also to replace the damper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Obstructions to the Flaps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, the flaps are simply unable to close properly because of some kind of obstruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This could be a buildup of dirt or grease, carcasses of insects or even small animals that have got into the ducts and died, nesting materials of animals, or debris blown in by the wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In such cases, the solution is really simple. Just clear away the debris. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can look at installing screens or hoods over the external vent to try and prevent this from happening again. Here are some examples:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"lazyblock-amazonblock-ZehbWQ wp-block-lazyblock-amazonblock\"><p>No products found.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Incorrect Installation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As the function of backdraft dampers relies on the fact that the flaps only open in one direction, installing them incorrectly will not only allow outside drafts to enter the ductwork and rattle through, it will inhibit the exhausting of kitchen air, i.e., it will inhibit the function of the range hood itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p><a data-lasso-id=\"745\" href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/range-hood-not-effective\/\">8 Reasons Why A Range Hood Is not Effective<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Since you are likely to be examining your backdraft damper as part of your investigations into the noisy range hood, you can check the installation while the damper is exposed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The flaps&mdash;whether horizontal or vertical, single or double, gravity-, electrically-, or spring-operated, or installed behind the range hood, in-line, or at the external vent&mdash; should open towards the outside of the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Horizontal-gravity-operated-electrically-operated-and-spring-operated-backdraft-damper.jpg\" alt=\"Horizontal , gravity-operated, electrically-operated and spring-operated backdraft damper\" class=\"wp-image-33265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Horizontal-gravity-operated-electrically-operated-and-spring-operated-backdraft-damper.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Horizontal-gravity-operated-electrically-operated-and-spring-operated-backdraft-damper-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Horizontal-gravity-operated-electrically-operated-and-spring-operated-backdraft-damper-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Horizontal-gravity-operated-electrically-operated-and-spring-operated-backdraft-damper-960x700.jpg 960w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Horizontal-gravity-operated-electrically-operated-and-spring-operated-backdraft-damper-150x109.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Horizontal-gravity-operated-electrically-operated-and-spring-operated-backdraft-damper.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Horizontal , gravity-operated, electrically-operated and spring-operated backdraft damper\" class=\"wp-image-33265 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Horizontal-gravity-operated-electrically-operated-and-spring-operated-backdraft-damper.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Horizontal-gravity-operated-electrically-operated-and-spring-operated-backdraft-damper-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Horizontal-gravity-operated-electrically-operated-and-spring-operated-backdraft-damper-768x560.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Horizontal-gravity-operated-electrically-operated-and-spring-operated-backdraft-damper-960x700.jpg.webp 960w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Horizontal-gravity-operated-electrically-operated-and-spring-operated-backdraft-damper-150x109.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Horizontal-gravity-operated-electrically-operated-and-spring-operated-backdraft-damper.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-6\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If the damper is installed backwards, take it out and put it back in the right way. This should solve your problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just make sure that the damper was not damaged by the improper installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stop the Banging of Gravity-Operated Dampers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gravity-operated dampers, particularly those located at or near the external vent are the most likely to cause a banging noise, which is arguably more annoying than the rattling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because there is no electrical or spring mechanism to hold the flaps closed, a strong wind blowing in the right direction can pick the flap or flaps up and drop them over and over again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two options to stop the noise here. You can either try to prevent the wind from picking the flap up in the first place, or you can try to make the drop quieter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously, the first option is better because it also prevents the wind from entering the ductwork and causing rattling noise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keeping the Flaps Down<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Using a hooded damper or external vent cover as discussed above can provide sufficient protection from the wind that the flap is not picked up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wind blowing in a specific direction can still lift the flap, but the banging should be limited to a rare occurrence as opposed to a blight on your peace every time there&rsquo;s a storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another option here is to use weights to keep the flaps down. The trick here is finding an additional weight that is large enough to stop the wind from picking up the flaps but small enough to allow the force of the exhausted air to open the flaps when the range hood is on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use simple washers held on with a bead of silicone or you can get a little fancier and use wheel weights. The glue on them is extremely strong, so you don&rsquo;t have to worry about them falling off.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"lazyblock-amazonblock-Z1bE09s wp-block-lazyblock-amazonblock\">\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n\n            \n            \n<div class=\"aawp-product aawp-product--horizontal aawp-product--css-adjust-image-large\" data-aawp-product-asin=\"B07RR14HKQ\" data-aawp-product-id=\"8034\" data-aawp-tracking-id=\"hvacbuzz-20\" data-aawp-product-title=\"ACCRETION 48Pcs 1\/4 Oz 0.25Oz Black Adhesive Backed Wheel Weights  12 Oz Pack\">\n\n    \n    <div class=\"aawp-product__thumb\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07RR14HKQ?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" title=\"ACCRETION 48Pcs 1\/4 Oz, 0.25Oz Black Adhesive Backed Wheel Weights (12 Oz Pack)\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">\n            <noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aawp-product__image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51E+PsoufAL.jpg\" alt=\"ACCRETION 48Pcs 1\/4 Oz, 0.25Oz Black Adhesive Backed Wheel Weights (12 Oz Pack)\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aawp-product__image lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51E+PsoufAL.jpg\" alt=\"ACCRETION 48Pcs 1\/4 Oz, 0.25Oz Black Adhesive Backed Wheel Weights (12 Oz Pack)\" data-mvt-skip=\"src\" loading=\"lazy\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\">\n        <\/a>\n\n            <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__content\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07RR14HKQ?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" title=\"ACCRETION 48Pcs 1\/4 Oz, 0.25Oz Black Adhesive Backed Wheel Weights (12 Oz Pack)\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">\n            ACCRETION 48Pcs 1\/4 Oz, 0.25Oz Black Adhesive Backed Wheel Weights (12 Oz Pack)        <\/a>\n        <div class=\"aawp-product__description\">\n            <ul><li>&#9989; Lead free 1\/4oz wheel weights with adhesive backing.<\/li><li>&#9989; Completely Plastic Powder Coating In Black for the best rust prevention.<\/li><li>&#9989; Applies to cast aluminum and spoke wheels.<\/li><li>&#9989; White tape Backing, Easy to Peel, Holds Weight Securely and will not Come off in Extreme Conditions.<\/li><\/ul>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__footer\">\n\n        <div class=\"aawp-product__pricing\">\n            \n                            <span class=\"aawp-product__price aawp-product__price--current\">$8.35<\/span>\n            \n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/prime\/?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" title=\"Amazon Prime\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"aawp-check-prime\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/aawp\/assets\/img\/icon-check-prime.svg\" alt=\"Amazon Prime\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/aawp\/assets\/img\/icon-check-prime.svg\" alt=\"Amazon Prime\" data-mvt-skip=\"src\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-7\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/a>        <\/div>\n\n                <a class=\"aawp-button aawp-button--buy aawp-button aawp-button--blue rounded shadow aawp-button--icon aawp-button--icon-white\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07RR14HKQ?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" title=\"Buy on Amazon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Buy on Amazon<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n    \n<\/div>\n<p class=\"aawp-disclaimer\">Last update on 2024-04-06 \/ Affiliate links \/ Images from Amazon Product Advertising API<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n<p>My suggestion is that before you purchase the wheel weights, check that the lightest weight is not too heavy to prevent the damper from operating correctly.

They often have additional plastic dampers, but it is quite rare that they are the cause. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are certain that the integrated damper is to blame, you can either remove it, and replace it with a quality spring-operated damper as we discussed above, or use foam just to quiet it down, remembering that there will be an air leak when you use foam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">      <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While very useful, I find range hoods to be obnoxiously loud when they are operating and doing their job.
