This post is about how one of these made with a ceiling fan can be much quieter than a regular air filtration unit: "Testing my prototype, it has a CADR of ~180 CFM and is only 33dB. By contrast, the Wirecutter's top-recommended air purifier has a CADR of 233 CFM at 54 dB or 110 CFM at 36 dB. With some tweaks it should be able to match the commercial purifier's performance, without being louder."

I see how that works for wildfire smoke, but how would it work for covid?
