I got these fans to help ventilate my stove and these were way too loud, louder than the fridge. I thought low speed meant they would be somewhat quiet but it makes a loud hum. it moves an good amount of air and was very easy to install, the three ftt cord could be longer. I have the same size metal fan that came with my cabinet and it was much quieter than this one. Both blow about the same amount so this might be a quality or make issue.
