How loud is it? I'm considering installing this in a v-berth locker to help circulate air from the main cabin to the v-berth? too loud to sleep near?

Absolutely the quietest blower I've heard on a boat: 100 percent recommended

I installed it in my engine compartment and it is very quiet there. It certainly is no louder than what an osillating fan would be in the house. Should work for your application too.

it's preaty loud but it's strong. i.went and got a universal 12v add (ac to dc) for ten bucks at frys and it works great. and yeah it is kind of loud

I'm using one on a bucket swamp cooler for my tent, it works amazing but is certainly not "quiet" compared to a computer fan. I put a speed control on it and run it at about 3/4 speed, which considering how well it works in my swamp cooler I tolerate the sound, it's not to bad, granted it's got about 6 feet of duct between me and the fan. If you want something near silent and you just want to move air go with a computer fan, but if you want WAY more airflow especially through a distance of duct, go with this fan with a speed control of some sort, I'm happy!

This is too subjective a question to give a valuable answer. Remember the current this draws, will your battery sustain that for long periods? You could baffle the installation with sound deadening material at the bends.

It is louder then I would have wanted it but it cools a room down and has a strong wind flow. So that overrides any noise issue I have. When watching tv and it is on Low it is fine but if you put it up to high then you might want to put the volume up. It does not bother me when sleeping as it acts as White Noise and is easy to sleep/rest to.

Short answer: Not really for normal sleeper- Long reply- Noise level from fan speeds during operation is better than other unit's I've tried over the years, including previous 10k BTU LG wall unit. Bought two LG 10k units to replace a 13k heat/cool Sears unit in main living area of cabin and cut a/c bill by 50% . Noise issue, when both LG units quit operating (BR still runs but thermostat is off). Lady friend who can go to sleep with TV sound volume up does NOT get disturbed by this a/c (on in other room) when she's in town. I'm a light sleeper and the Frigidaire doesn't wake me up despite the slight noise when trying to get to sleep (noting again this Frigidaire is in the main living area (next room divided by wall and door, a/c location is 25' from headboard in the bedroom (Bedroom a/c is an LG which is a little noisier and left off unless deep into a hot n humid Florida Summer. The Frigidaire wall banger in question is quieter. There is a Light 'Thump' heard from compressor cycling on/off which is normal for wall units. The main issue with this a/c is the thermostat is not even close to actual temp, needing to be set 4 degrees lower and sometimes changed as the unit doesn't shut off like it should on Energy Efficient setting (nice for fan not to run full time like Sears unit). NOTE: This IS annoying and if buying again would purchase the 10k BTU LG unit instead of this unit. Not enough difference in noise to overcome other issues. Some folks I know, claim the Samsung wall units are quiet but this is second hand, not first hand info from.... davzway

I wouldnt call it a 'quiet' fan. But neither is it loud. I would put it right in the middle. We can leave it on and not hear it in the bedroom attached to the bathroom if the door is closed, just a low hum, but easy to sleep through. I did notice that it got a little bit louder after a few months of installing it, but I may just need to clean it a little.

I use one as a belt blower on my UTV.. Can't hear it over the engine, but it is pretty loud.. Hard to talk to passenger with it running between us

In all honesty I haven't rode it since I installed. But it does fill in the gap a bit with the outer flap you could use the foam like goes around an window air unit to seal. It did bring cabin noise down inside just ridding it around the house. I am planning in ridding this weekend if at all possible you can ask again hopefully I can give an answer

I would say that it is about like a small fan also. Not enough noise to be disturbing. I like the factthat is a fan plus heat, and heat really puts out but you can set the thermostat. Also like that is oscillates. Good buy for price, I like it I suppose that means the most. As far as putting you to sleep, don't know. Hope this helps. Ingram

It's a bit louder than the Honda equivalent, but not uncomfortably so. Under full load, this is substantially quieter than a weedwacker at idle in my opinion. With a modern camper a pair of these are unheard over the A/C with a standard 25 ft cord strung out. They do run a little on the rough side, so mounting to the camper while you sleep would possibly be noticable. The idle seems to surge and stumble a bit.

I don't mind the noise, so I don't know if my answer will help you or not. Our A/C is installed in the master bedroom(we have a two bedroom model) and it is pretty quiet until we turn the temp down for the night. We like to sleep with it cooler. Hope that helps.

Hi I did not finish installing the generator so I don't know how loud it is. When I go back to Florida this fall I will finish installing it and hope it runs quite.Sorry I can't help you. I can tell you it seems to be well made.

I've travelled with it. It's fairly small compared with other fans I've used. I assume you're using it for white noise like me. It's perfect for that :)

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.

You can turn it up fairly loud. It definitely will keep snoring from being bothersome with a constant white noise. It is better than a fan.

That's a personal assessment. It is no louder than window air conditioners I've had in my own bedrooms. It's quieter than many wall air conditioners in motels.

It's as noisy as any standard unit; but it does not make a metal rattling sound like those ones in some las vegas hotel rooms. It's quieter than that; but still a significant sound to be sleeping next to, as significant as, say, sleeping next to a small refrigerator; but probably not as annoying. Hope this helps.

It is not quiet but not too loud to be disturbing. I have compressor that are way louder. It is about the same sound level as your car engine.

If you use it for white noise it would be pretty good. If you need it quiet to sleep and just want the air, this might not be for you. It's not crazy loud, but it does make a little noise.
