Discuss Quiet 6 inch wall fan in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

Last week I installed what was supposed to be a reasonably quiet 6inch wall fan in a kitchen.

Turns out it wasn't as quiet as I anticipated.

Anybody know of a quiet one? Must be a 6inch wall mounted one

All help is appreciated

Could look at the Greenwood range..Other makes available
 
You installed them mate?

Quieter the better really. The one I installed is an xpelair
TBH no, but was recommended them in another thread. Others on here with more experience will advise. From my experience years ago installing them, make sure all fixings are sound and fan fitted square, blades flow freely, even at high speed.
 
You might be banging your head against a brick wall on this one. As far as I'm aware, manufacturers concentrate their noise reducing efforts on lower flowing 4" bathroom fans. The problem when going up to 6" is that by definition you will be shifting a lot more air - 60l/s usually. That's going to make some noise, whichever way you look at it. You may find a centrifugal fan quieter for the same flow (Nuaire Cyfan springs to mind), but you will have to close the hole in the wall down to 4 or 5 inches.
 
Also depends on your definition of "quiet". The quietest fans I know are almost inaudible in daytime, but sound like a jumbo jet at two in the morning!
