I'd much rather listen to a little bit of noise from a bathroom fan
than smell the stink for two hours from whoever used the bathroom
before me. Or are you going to tell us your sh** don't stink? Plus
many bathrooms can wind up with moisture damage problems from excess
moisture from showers without having proper ventilation.
There are plenty of fans that are very quiet. All you have to do is
pay $75 - $100 or so, instead of the cheap $30 builder models. Look
for the SONE rating.
