How loud is this fan? Want some level of privacy for our upstairs bathroom but don't want it to sound like the wall is coming down.

Kathy, We used ours in the kitchen and although it is not totally quiet, it is reasonable and acceptable. I have been impressed with the quality of the fan. Pw

Typical bathroom fan sound level. Not whisper quite. doesn't sound like the wall is coming down. Ken

It is very quiet on low. I have it running all the time and it sits on the other side of my small den, and I can't even hear it running. On medium, and high, yes it gets fairly loud, but I rarely have to put it on high. It is a great air mover, and will blow everything off your desk if on high. You can't go wrong with this fan. In fact, I am about to buy another for my bedroom.

It sounds like a normal fan. It's not extremely loud, but it does make noise. It works extremely well. I have a one bedroom as well and I love it.

This fan isn't necessarily completely quiet but I wouldn't consider this fan on the noisy side either, so if you want a loud fan look elsewhere.

I can hear it in the bathroom right below the fan and in the hallway outside the bathroom. It is not a loud noise, but like a humming noise. I did not use any rubber pads to reduce the noise when attaching the fan to the wooden frame. That might reduce the noise further. Hope this helps.

It depends on how thick your walls are...but no it is not quiet, it's actually quite loud.

This is a very high quality, quiet unit but you can hear the fan running at times. We actually have it in our pantry, so, we don't notice it, but I believe if you had it in a small kitchen, you would hear a low hum.

Mine is not noisey at all. It doesn't make a noise that I can hear and it is about 5 feet from my bedroom witdow.

It's not - very quiet - we do have it in the wall not a window so it may have a little more noise in a window but I wouldn't think it would be all that much since I really don't even know when it's on. Love the different controls on it - most of the time I just set it at what I want and just leave it.

The "Loudness" depends on where you place it in your attic and what room is below it. The noise from it does not reverberate through the house nor do we have to raise our voices in the room directly below the fan either. It is more "white noise" but is it super quiet? No but I would install it again just not above a bedroom. It's a great fan and quite reliable when installed correctly.

I have not tried to turn that off. I dont think it is that Loud at all especially when you close the Bathroom door. It probably sounds like the BATH FAn running outside. The Vacuum though allows for NO CLEAN UP which is so great. Never had one before with a Vacuum and I will never buy another one without it. My wife is most happy because she doesnt have to tell me to clean up my hair anymore haha....

I have it installed in a rental. There's no way around having a wall type AC making the noise of blowing air (fan). I would not say that it's quiet.

I use mine in my basement while I am working in the same room. It is not noisy in my opinion. I doubt anyone could hear it through a wall. Set it on a piece of short napped indoor/outdoor carpet or something.

Yes it makes a fan like noise. It's not super loud, but it could be annoying in a bedroom. It's best for a smaller room: office, small bedroom. I don't think it would really reach into an adjoining bathroom. It's a great space heater, but it's designed for a smaller space.

Unit has three different fan speed settings to help with noise. But my opinion is no, unit is not excessively loud. It is in my bedroom, I sleep with it on low.

I use this in addition to a small, cheap as possible, black fan. I usually buy one at Target, etc. and stay away from the ones that say "quiet operation." Ha. By itself, it's loud, but noise levels are obviously different per house/apartment/city, etc. With both things, I usually don't hear a thing!

It's a 4" fan, and it isn't completely quiet. It makes a sort of 'white noise' kind of thing. Not very problematic, unless you're looking for total silence. It is definitely not a problem for me, and I have it right next to me on a nightstand.
