What extractor fan brand, and which really are 'silent'?
Discussion
Got some new but pretty basic extractor fans in our bathrooms. They have "AirVent" green logo on them. They work, but are very noisy. So I want to replace them with new ones which are silent. From googling, there seem to be many types which state they're silent versions, but I dont know which brands are good and which are not when it comes to extractor fans.
Also, I will be doing the refit myself, so I am hoping that its just a straight swap for the old-new units? Am I grossly mistaken?
The two I'm looking at are (both pump 21 litres per second):
Manrose QF100T - which says its noise is 27dB at 3m
Vent-Axia VASF100T - which says its noise is 26dB at 3m (although only 14dB if on slower 14l/s speed)

We went with the Manrose one I listed. Very easy diy job to refit. It's one of the quietest on the market and it is markedly quieter than the one it replaces, but to call these things 'silent' is nothing short of false advertising.
