I just moved in to a new apartment and the ventilation’s sound is too loud it’s driving me crazy. There seems to be only 3 buttons: at home, not at home and boost. I have tried all these options but none makes the sound go away? How can I turn it off?

Check if your kitchen hood is on and what setting. There could be two settings, venting outside and inside and how hard the fan spins
You should not turn it off. It is the only way to get fresh air to the apartment.
Usually you can’t turn it off. What you can do it. Open it from the top put some tape to cover those holes, so you don’t get air from there.
The lowest setting is not at home but it’s still not off.
You cant.
It is the ac and it is controlled by the maintenance company. All you can do is clean it from the inside yourself and complain to the maintenance.
Contact maintenance about the noise.

This is the settings on the kitchen hood. Doesn’t look like it is on though. I’ll check further and ask the maintenance.
*Note: moving is not an option, I just bought the place. Spent the first night there and all I can hear now is the fan noise.
Cleaning it might help.
Contact landlord and/or maintenance (isännöitsijä). It’s part of the apartment and shouldn’t be messed with by the occupant.
Of course sometimes things can be slow, so try to emphasize that you can’t sleep and the situation is unbearable. Be polite, of course.
