What is the decibels? I am looking for very quiet.

I have a hallway guest bath that backs up to my master bath. I installed one of these on a joist in my attic perhaps three feet above the ceiling. Ran flexible, insulated duct from each bathroom to a Y with a damper to prevent back-flow from one bath to the other. Then I exhausted it to a wall mounted louvered vent with a bug screen. Each bath uses a 4 button Leviton timer switch up to 1 hour wired to the light and fan. Works flawlessly, and is virtually undetectable except for the flow of air drawing under the door and pulling the steam and odor right through the vent. Really is an exceptional product. I'm not sure it would even register in the room below as long as the pipe is insulated.

I'm using as exhaust for a cat box area. I have mounted it outside with about 12' of flex. the sound you here is air being drawn in.

Very quiet means you can hardly hear,unfortunately any moving mechanical device like a motor with a fan blade rotatingat higher speeds generates wind noise and especially when sucking out air there is a gushing noise at one end.By insulating ,secure mounting,placement away from scene,reducing speed with regulator,or low voltage wiring can help.Presently I have the fan mounted inside the wall of bathroom and a duct out through the window in adjoining room,quite.But with time due to dust.hair,airborne particles,vapor ,mist etc,the noise floor increases,clean vent,fan every month.The decibel part around 75,may run to 80 depending on the application.

On the low setting its barely audible. Even on the high setting its pretty quiet. MUCH MUCH quieter than a fan with "hard" blades.

Very subjective, but I'd say it's closer to the "virtually silent" end rather than "really noisy."It's not loud at all.

Not sure on the decibel level but it is loud at full volume. Just keep your box you may need it for return.

I don't know the decibels, but not that loud. No louder than a forced air heating system, as with an oil furnace. Takes up very little space and is safe; whereas, a quiet radiant heater with no fan is large and gets very hot, so you must keep away from other items in the room.

This little guy is very quiet. I believe that it may be LOWER than 68 decibels. I have a radio in my shop that I can listen to even when this thing is running!

It's not quiet. I used a sound level meter to compare it to a couple other units and it's literally 10-20 times louder. The sound it makes is also particularly annoying.

As far as how loud it is in DB levels, I'm sorry I can't help you. Maybe Barnett can give you the info.

I don't know decibels. But I don't find it loud at all maybe once in awhile it will be loud but it's not as loud as I expected. But I'm shooting the lead pellets right now. It probably is louder with the other metal pellets

Tested in my garage using dB meter set on "C" scale (32-10,000Hz) - 87dB at 1 foot away and 78dB at 4 feet away - this is very quiet.

I would say a medium level of sound. I've had quieter and louder than this.

I can't say what the decibels is but can say that it is loud. I wear ear plugs and it seems to take care of the problem for me. I feel that the suction and cleaning power of this vacuumdefinitely off set the negative sound.

relatively quiet. it come on so infrequently that i do not notice it. and where i have it installed minimizes the sound.

It's between 77 and 80 according to the app "Decible Ultra." The sound is a low hum not the normal high pitch whine of most dryers. My old hair dryer was 90 decibles. For comparison it shows that the sound of a running toilet is 62 Decibles and a completely silent room is 40 Decibles.

I saw a review on it, and they registered it at 86 decibels. I've just finished sighting mine in and to my ear it sounds not too abnormally loud. It sounds a little louder than it was on the video review. Remember that the sound will dissipate over distance, so that what sounds loud to the shooter's ear will definitely drop in decibels (quiet down) at about 50' away from the shooter.
