The fans must be installed with silencers in the duct system in accordance with the sound requirements of the ventilated premises.
To meet current standards the duct system should be insulated for sound, thermal loss and condensation.
Sound output levels are used as the basis for calculating the sound pressure level in the fan's operating range, and the level of silencing required in the duct system itself.
Terms:

Operating ranges |
| LW1: |
Sound output level in extract duct (measured according to ISO 5136) LW1 = LWA1 + KW (LWA1 to be read off on curve) |
| LW2: |
Sound output level in pressure duct (measured according to ISO 5136) LW1 = LWA1 + KW (LWA1 to be read off on curve) |
| LW3: |
Sound output level in surroundings (measured according to ISO 3744) LW3 = LWA1 + KW (LWA1 to be read off on curve) |
| LWA3: |
A-weighted sound output level in surroundings LWA3 = LWA1 + KWA (LWA1 to be read off on curve) |
| LpA3: |
Sound pressure level dB (A) at 10 m distance for hemispherical sound propagation in free field and with insulated connection ducts
LpA3 = LWA1 + KpA (LWA1 to be read off on curve) |
