Sirius Range hood, anyone?

4 years ago

We are considering a Sirius Range hood from their Pro Series line. 36” with 1,100 CFM internal blower. They say it is 66 dBA loud on the highest setting. Does anybody have their range hood and can comment on whether or not it is very loud? We will probably only use the first 3 speed settings (out if 4), but we are concerned that even the 3rd speed level would be very loud…

66 dB(a) is fairly loud. There's a discussion and some charts on noise here: https://bamasotan.us/range-exhaust-hood-faq/

Thanks @opaone for your reply. It is so hard seconding on a range hood if most of them cannot be tested prior to purchasing. Do you know what a reasonable noise level is for a 1,100 or 1,200 CFM hood? I know, we can’t expect to get a blower with a high CFM rating and expect it to be quite but what’s realistic in terms of dBA?
