Ceiling Exhaust Fan -How loud is .5 sones?


Can any1 please provide an example of how loud would .3 to .5 sones be?
Could it be equivalent with the machanism of a noisy cheapo DVD player?
*Please focus on sones (sound level?) and not going off topic such my room size, cfm, wattage, or other options like open the windows, adding AC lines or a return line, etc. Thanks
Panasonic has few of them that can generate .3 to .5 sones: http://www.rewci.com/panfv05.html

You will probably be able to hear it from the next room. When I remodeled our last house, researched "quiet" bathroom fans. Even the quietest ones were pretty loud - they spin fast.
