There are many factors to consider when choosing which extractor fan is best for your bathroom including the extraction rate and type of operation. However, finding the quietest extractor fan is crucial to ensuring that you can use the fan whenever you need to. Nothing is worse than lying in a hot bath with a noisy extractor fan disrupting your opportunity to relax. Likewise, using the bathroom when people in the house are asleep can become an issue if the extractor fan is too noisy.

The table below sets out a selection of our quietest extractor fans which are popular among customers who are looking for low noise ventilation solutions. The table includes a mix of axial fans and inline fans.

Manrose MF100T

As part of the popular Manrose Inline Extractor Fan range, MF100T offers a high extraction rate of up to 245m³/hr and is our best selling inline fan thanks to it's adjustable timer, long-life, high quality motor and the discreet installation options it provides.

Inline fans are installed in loft spaces and ducted to the room they are required to extract from. This means that installation is discreet and any noise that they do generate is very rarely heard as the fan itself is placed outside of the room in use. If you would like to learn more about inline fans and the benefits they can offer we have written a guide which explains in more detail what an inline fan is and also a guide to help you work out which size inline fan you need for your room.

Greenwood Airvac CV2GIP

Running at just 10 dB(A), the CV2GIP is a near silent, continuously running fan which boasts 9 registered patents.

A solid circular fascia provides the fan with a smooth, discreet aesthetic whilst integrated SMART technology helps to reduce energy wastage, improves performance and stops nuisance running.

A short spigot design means that the CV2GIP is also ideal for use where ceiling voids are shallow.

So, Which Extractor Fan is Best for My Bathroom?

You may have noticed that the silent fans such as the Greenwood Airvac CV2GIP and the Vent Axia Silent Fans have a lower extraction rate. Because of this these fans are better suited to smaller bathrooms, toilet or cloakroom areas. For larger bathrooms, the National Ventilation Monsoon is the best quiet extractor fan - operating at a decibel reading only slightly louder than rustling leaves.

Other options for silent condensation solutions include anti-fog bathroom mirrors which are ideal if condensation interrupts your morning routine, and inline fans which provide a discreet yet powerful way to control moisture levels.
