This bathroom fan is supposed to be whisper quiet. The one I received is horribly noisey! Is there anything I can do/adjust to quiet it down?

Interesting. We have yet to install ours. From the demo I have used and tested it was very quiet. You might have a defective one. I wouldn't have even thought about purchasing it if was noisy

Either something is wrong with your fan or an installation problem, could something be caught in it? Ours is very, very quiet.

I didn't experience this noise. I sent my back for different reason. The fan didn't work. Maybe your fan doesn't work and is squealing?

Is the fan still blowing? Also, this item has to sit up off counter to allow air flow up thru the bottom . Vinegar white with water to soak? I bought mine from bed bath b yond. U cud buy a new one, save receipt, and use the receipt to return the dead one.

Mine is super quiet. I have to look at it to make sure it is still running.

I have had the biocube 14 running in my living room for almost 2 years now and I don't think i have ever noticed the sound of the fan. It is possible yours is rattling in place or you have a faulty fan? If it is actually loud I would contact the manufacturer.

I wouldnt call it a 'quiet' fan. But neither is it loud. I would put it right in the middle. We can leave it on and not hear it in the bedroom attached to the bathroom if the door is closed, just a low hum, but easy to sleep through. I did notice that it got a little bit louder after a few months of installing it, but I may just need to clean it a little.

I just put the fan on, maximum. The noise is not loud at all. U can barely notice it. I bought around 2 other fans at the same time this is by far the best fan. It looks better than picture does it justice and its not noisy at all.

It's a very noisy fan, even on #1. It moves lots of air, but makes too much noise for me. I'll try to control the speed of the motor sometime....

The fan should be running but it should NOT be loud. I'd return it for a new one.

I have only had the unit one night, but the fan noise does seem a little loud. Which is unfortunate because I kept reading how quiet it is and that is one of the main reasons I bought one. Not sure if it is just my unit, or if this is just how normally loud it is for others? Also, my fan ALWAYS seems to be running, even if I am not pushing it hard at all.

No. It sounds as if you have an installation problem. I have a remote on this fan and it works fine. There is no unwelcome noise.

If it's on low you can barely hear it, but on high it's kind of loud. It doesn't bother me, but if you're sensitive to noise, you might find it irritating. Great fan though. I've had it for a while and it's working perfect.

Well, weird as it may seem, I am looking for a fan that actually makes a noticeable hum/sound. We use it as a sound conditioner and to drown out external noise when sleeping. Does anyone know of one that would meet that requirement? Ours is about to quit, and it is not the time of year to find one in a retail store. Thank you.

Sorry to hear that. Contact the seller and send it back, especially if the fan doesn't come on. good luck

I can hear it in the bathroom right below the fan and in the hallway outside the bathroom. It is not a loud noise, but like a humming noise. I did not use any rubber pads to reduce the noise when attaching the fan to the wooden frame. That might reduce the noise further. Hope this helps.

I don't know exactly what you need for your bathroom but this definitely seems like overkill. My suggestion would be find a better bathroom exhaust fan and make sure the fan is exhausted correctly to the attic. Maybe all you need to do is clean your existing exhaust fan.

Say a blow dyer on low. You can notice it but it is not like a bathroom fan it is whisper compared to that. If your in the same space as it it is like the blow dyer on low. Put a wall between yea and you don't hear it. makes it great for attic and crawl space.
