Hi , We are planning to have a BEAM MEV system installed in our house to stop mould growth . The plan is to put one of the valves / vents in a bedroom - just wondering are these vents noisy? Any feedback would be appreciated Thanks
 
I installed a MVHR system in our house last year, which is similar in concept at least. I sleep in the bedroom under the unit itself and while you can hear it when it’s quiet at night, it is by no means loud and as it has a constant whitenoise type sound it does not interfere with sleep. In other bedrooms where there are vents the sound is virtually unnoticeable.

All the same I would aim to have the unit itself as far from bedrooms as possible and try to have it hung from the rafters rather than sitting on the ceiling joists where it may transfer vibrations into the room.
 
I have an MVHR for several years. The longer the ducting from the MVHR unit to your bedroom ceiling vent the less the (quite low level ) noise
