New Panasonic bathroom fan is louder than the one it replaced
I installed the top of the line Panasonic "WhisperGreen Select" fan in our hallway bathroom. The same exact fan that we have in our master bathroom which performs wonderfully. (truly whisper quiet) I removed the fan itself and ran it outside of the housing to confirm it wasn't a mechanical issue and the fan turned quietly. Obviously there is something sub-par about the way it's ducted, but I don't know where to start. It's a fairly short run and not all that different from how the other fan is ducted. The main difference is the material. Is it possible the soft flexible duct is creating more turbulence and static pressure than the corrugated metal flexible duct on the other fan? https://preview.redd.it/wdlvswt4wbre1.jpg?width=1968&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9316527b5fccb02be2120bd485940568000a51d2 submitted by /u/DUNGAROO [link] [comments]
