Quietest Range Hoods of 2026, ranked by certified sound level

The quietest ENERGY STAR certified range hood is the Best HBN223012SS at 0.1 sones. Across all 72 certified models, sound levels range from 0.1 to 2 sones with a median of 1.5 — and 72 models are rated at or below 2 sones.

Rankings below use lab-certified sones from the U.S. EPA ENERGY STAR dataset, not manufacturer marketing claims. Lower is quieter; 0.3 sones is near-silent, 1 sone is a quiet refrigerator hum. See how sones convert to decibels.
