Bathroom exhaust fan - I want a loud one
So maybe this is an odd request. But I like a loud exhaust fan to drown out "noises". 
Upon a recent trip to the big box stores all I can find are quiet units. Seems nobody likes a loud bath fan.
Any suggestions short of some sort of industrial kitchen fan?

Maybe a white noise generator on the same feed as the fan. Last time I was on a jury they they used white noise in the jury box so we couldn't hear sidebars between the judge and lawyers.
Heres a sample Google for "white noise generator".

We use a sound machine in the bedroom that makes "white noise" to drown out household background noise.
That would probably make me fall asleap on the throne! LOL j/k

Instead of a loud fan why not add some sound proofing to the room to keep the noise from escaping. A solid core door goes a long way.

Hrm.. I could get a thru the wall fan and pipe it into the livingroom.
Sorry, it's hard to avoid potty humor when we're talking about the potty. hehe
I think the utility type fan is going to be the best bet. I found some in the 6-7 sone range that move a whopping 200ish CFM of air. Since I have unrestricted attic access the 7" duct shouldnt be an issue.
All kidding aside, am I the only one that likes a loud bath fan?

Be aware that fan noise will seem much louder in the bathroom than outside of it. Any sudden or sharp noises will still be more noticeable outside of the bathroom than the low rumbling of the fan. A loud fan might only give you a false sense of security.
