exhaust fan vertical wall mount

Is this an inside wall?
do you have access to the attic?

Was Neal’s question ever answered?

thank for the speed control box option.
sure wish 30 years ago they just put in a quieter fan (say 1 sones) and done with.

Now, unless I tear up the wall and rewire the bathroom light and fan, there isn't much I can do except replace the fan motor, which I did with similar noise.

The NuTone 696N fan housing is small 7" x 8" with 6" depth, 3" duct. Cannot reach up the duct clearing. In fact, I remember this cheap exact same noisy fan was in a Holiday Inn bathroom I stayed years ago.

The time and money I spent so far, has been far exceed twice over the most expensive quiet fan (say 1 sones) in HomeDepot or Lowes.

Will keep hearing the same household complaint till .....

this fan is inside the middle of the wall with duct to the roof. No access from attic.


This is another motor replacement at Amazon. I assume this is just as noisy

I just ask our local contractor if he can replace my NuTone 696N with this ultra quiet exhaust fan,
