Can someone who is truly sensitive to noise attest to the quietness of this air purifier?

I find it loud even on the low setting. When you have to turn up your tv to drown it out, it is not quiet. Also throws out cold air.

if it's on LOW , yes....with MED and HIGH it makes more noise, but it's no louder than a small fan. You'll be ok.

I have it where I sleep and leave it on medium with no problem. It actually produces a whispering white noise. After a night or two, you won't know it's there.

It is quiet on low, but on high it is audible, but not offensive like another brand is.

You can hear it running but it is not overbearing. I don't know how sensitive you are, but with other units that we had, if I was on a conference call with a speaker phone I would have to turn off the unit. With this unit I do not have to do that. Think of it as white noise.

yes. it's very noisy at every speed. if u put it at slow speed during sleep u can't sleep. Im very sensitive to noise. I only use it when im out side.

Very subjective, but I'd say it's closer to the "virtually silent" end rather than "really noisy." It's not loud at all.

Since you can not be in the same room or rooms it is hard to say. I had it ine closed off room with another door to the adjoining room closed & could not hear it loudly. Please keep in mind it is a heavy duty industrial ozone generator. You can not stay in the same space with it anyway.

Perceived level of noise can be kind of subjective, but I don't find that it bothers me. It is not silent, but I have not turned on fans or wall AC units before due to noise and this one does not seem to interfere with my need of quiet.

Yes it is very quiet. I am up early and like to "vacuum" before I leave. My downstairs neighbors never even hear it.

I consider it very quiet, but there is a faint humming sound. I don't think you can get one that is silent.

My husband and I have allergies and I'm worse because I have asthma along with all the other sinus/eye/skin issues. We use this filter in the bedroom and we are much better plus it is white noise(on low). I'm level 4 out of 6 on allergy test for dust mites. However, we also use Allersearch Laundry detergent on all bedding too.

I would say that the sounds of this air purifier are generally softer than those of a fan, but given the range of fans available it is pretty hard to compare. All in all, this unit is pretty quiet when running and its sound is more of a white noise. I have had this unit for a few weeks now, in my bedroom every night, and find the sounds it produces to be very acceptable and pleasant. Note that the Allergen and Turbo levels (which I haven't used) are louder than the other two and would probably be annoying if too close to your head but OK if across the room.

It is the most quiet on the market. Pair it with a Eheim canister filter and you will have to be really close to hear anything. Put it this way, I hear the air bubbles when the hit the surface. Remember, if you get the 500, you have to block off one output or use both.

I don't have dogs so I can't be sure about the odor, although it does seem heavy-duty. It's whisper quiet on the lowest setting; I have forgotten that it's on at times. However, if the sensor detects "lower air quality," it automatically ramps up, and then it is noticeably louder.

This isn't the one I purchased but if it's made out of the same material, polypropylene, then no, it's not noisy. Mine and my husbands is very quiet.

This air purifier on low is whisper quiet at night, no worries. We do throw a cloth over the lights, as they are more bothersome than any noise this makes. Crank it up to medium or high, and the noise is noticeable.

Its not a consideration. It's not as loud as my himidifier, not as loud as the air circulating through my ductwork, not as loud as the AC. I might put it on par with, I dont know what. I actually didn't notice the noise so I can't recall. I guess it can't be that loud.

Yes and exceptionally quiet. However we had to rerun it as it was blandly damaged during shipping

(I have used this for years and I love it.) RE: noise factor, it seems like it could be loud enough on the higher 2 settings. Frankly, I haven't asked my neighbors!!
