Uh-oh. Something sounds off in your commercial kitchen. And while a busy kitchen can certainly get loud from time to time, there is one thing no restaurant owner wants to hear – a noisy commercial exhaust hood. Don't let those clanks and rattles disrupt your dinner service. Here, we'll walk you through the essential steps to troubleshoot and address the issue, to keep things running smoothly - and quietly!
 
Identify the Source of the Noise

Carefully inspect the fan blades, motor, and ductwork for any signs of damage, misalignment, or foreign objects.
