Very quiet , it is located near a bedroom window and you cannot hear it inside

This device is mounted on the outside of my home at about waist high level. I cannot hear it running when I am anywhere inside my home. In order to hear this fan , I have to be standing directly next to it outside

I have it in 4"" pipe, and the one I have has a 4" flange at top and bottom. To quote my friend, the last thing you should do is cement the thing in the ground, for you may find that you have a perfectly tuned pipe organ. The fan is good, not too loud. The noise will be from connections and reverberations from the pipe and how it's anchored and where its weight may bear. I have a resonation, but I intend to try to tune it out more by adjusting the support of the pipe above the fan.

This fan is three speed. I wrote to Lasko and here is what they said: CFM- 3160/LOW 3320/MED 3460/HIGH Just to reiterate what I and a lot of other reviewers have said: This fan puts out a ton of air and is pretty loud, especially on high. Construction is very solid. If you want to move a lot of air and you are okay with the noise it's hard to see how you could do much better.

When 640's fan get to around 60% it gets pretty loud. 3 rd part fans MIGHT reduce the sound because both could spin at a lower rpm. The sound produced when its not doing much is not loud w/ just a stock fan IMO.

you will need atleast 240cfm to pull it out of a 8x4 area at 1 interval per minute. I would go with a 400 cfm duct fan.

Don't no the answer to the cfm question, but I run my air compressor at 100psi.

I used a 5 gallon pancake compressor which only can handle 3 cfm and I had it set around 90 psi with no problems. Pretty much any air compressor will work.

Hello, I would like to have a few more specific details in order to answer this 100% such as, are you going to be using all 3 at once,pipe size both coming & going, also how far are you ejecting the waste, etc etc. But, hey, my friend, if you are going by Flotec's recommendations & specifications then based on my track record on my unit you will EASILY handle all three. Don't worry about it EASILY handle it!!!! Good luck Sir & I am sure you will experience a great deal of satisfaction with this product ... Trademasters No Problems, Just Solutions

It's not quiet if that's your question; it has run very well for me and usually starts with first or second pull with half choke; if you set the unit 20 feet away from your work area it will be fine...

It works for me with a Can Max Fan Mixed Flow Inline Fan, 6-Inch 334 Cubic Feet Per Minute fan #340410. The speed is adjustable and the noise isn't to bad compared to the flow it gives. I have left it on all the time to circulate air and equalize the temperature in the that room compared to the remainder of the house.

I think it was 300 cfm. Not sure, bought it last year. Works well, makes a whine but not too loud.

I had to use a reducer for mine so check ur pipe size carefully, took it off after two weeks the sound was an annoying pitch and I saw no performance or gas mileage difference worth keeping it on ( can't even sell it for $20 to anyone ) I would look to another manufacturer

Cfm is an ambiguous rating and it's difficult to say. I would say 38 would be better as it accounts for compressed volume of air. However if you are using power tools or anything that needs more air I would look much higher or you will see significant pressure drops. Something in the 100's at least or 200's would be ideal. I bought this and switched to a 200+ scfm and I only get a drop of 2-3psi. With this unit I experienced 20-30psi drop at full load.

Not sure, probably about 200 + cfm, I know it's strong enough to be felt 3/4 the way across my garage

The link given by Straker has some incorrect information as it claims 733 "shifts more air" than 660, while the opposite is true. 733 = 583 CFM; 660 = 584 CFM. Since they move the practically same amount of air and 660 is lighter and quieter, I would say 660 is better.

Hard to say. Grizzly has three speeds. Usually my furnace is going and it is louder than this. This is in my shop. Table saw or other louder machines running. If you are seeking quiet is it for another area? If so You may want to go with a different type of unit.

This is a relatively quiet pipe, rated at 98db's. However, if you want it quieter, there is a Vortex Quiet insert (not included) available here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000GZOJRE

It is recommended that you re-jet. I would not recommend this exhaust because it is too loud. It will boost your power and bust your eyedrums. Tech assistance is non-existent. Pay a little more for something better.
