Not only can you keep it running at night, it will also empower you to Find Your Quiet causing less distractions, so you can work from home, have uninterrupted conversations and go about your day without an annoying buzz, hum or rattle in the background.

A well engineered fan should provide a smooth sound with little or no inconsistencies or unpleasant tonalities which can easily disturb and become really annoying.

“When Quiet Mark tests or verifies home appliances, we consider several factors, including the product’s sound quality ”, says Richard Wilkinson Quiet Mark’s Technical Manager. “Several appliances can have the same decibel level, however if any of these products has an unpleasant tone, or frequency we cannot pass it for Quiet Mark Certification”.
