Much like garbage disposals, they are sold with different "quiet" ratings and if the kits work, aren't much work and you don't have to fool with the existing framework and/or venting in place. This would apply to an existing fan & not a new install. Hope this helps.
Thanks very much! I’ll look into that. Replacing the motor is probably something I can do myself. I replaced two ceiling fans and four light switches yesterday.
