Sound Reduction Kits (Optional)
Without a sound kit, our cabinets run at about 60–70 decibels — roughly the volume of normal conversation. However, when placed near patios, bedroom windows, or community spaces, that sound can feel more noticeable.
The Vertex Sound Kit — featuring a Muffler Box, sound insulation, and a Quiet Filter — reduces noise for all sizes of Vertex QuietAir™ Cabinets.
