Helpful information

Physical  characteristics  of  the  sound  volume  (the  sound  pressure  level)  is 

measured in decibels (dB). «Noise» is a chaotic mix of sound.

The human ear can detect sounds with sound volume of 10-15 dB and above.
When choosing a kitchen hood, it is necessary to pay special attention to technical 

indicators such as the noise level. This indicator is very important, because, and 
that’s beyond a shadow of a doubt, each of us spends a lot of time on the kitchen. It 
is especially common for women who love to please their loved ones with delicious 
cooked dishes.

According to the surveys, 40% of women do not use kitchen hoods for their 

intended purpose (it refers to the process of air suction), precisely because they are 
annoyed with the noise level.

Consequently, such a necessary and needed in the kitchen appliance, kitchen 

air cleaner, designed to remove airborne odors, grease, soot and smoke, becomes 
almost meaningless.

In comparison with many other manufacturers of kitchen hoods, KUPPERSBERG 

hoods are comfortably quiet. Even at maximum suction power of 1000 m3, noise 
level reaches only 42 dB. This allows you to make the cooking process the most 
comfortable and helpful.
