...your rangehood fan is way too loud

You can't have a conversation or watch TV whilst cooking because some engineers somewhere decided "bigger is better" and now your rangehood sounds like a launching rocket whenever you turn it on.

Consider...

Paying attention to the rangehood volume when deciding on which brand to purchase. Anything above 60 decibels is similar in volume to a "conversation" (see chart), which is - practically speaking - probably too loud.

A rangehood fan with an average volume of around 50 decibels is quiet and should be acceptable. If the rangehood specifications don't provide a fan volume, then demand to go into a showroom or store and inspect/listen to the same model yourself when it's turned on.
