The MaxxAir vent # MA00-06401K and the Fan-Tastic Vent roof vent # FV801250 will be close to the same decibel level when running but I give a slight edge to the MaxxAir because it moves a little less air (900 cubic feet per minute versus 920 on the Fan-Tastic) and because it has a sealed ball bearing 12 volt motor which would theoretically be quieter. Honestly you may not be able to tell the difference.

As far as wind noise on the exterior I would go with the MaxxAir vent again since it has more of an aerodynamic shape.
