Currently I run a bathroom fan which is close by, is it as loud as the bathroom fan would you say or volume isn't all that great?

In my opinion the volume is actually pretty excellent. The max volume goes up pretty loud for a baby sound machine.

No..the unit is quieter than my dishwasher or even the fridge when the comoressor is running. Id say equal to a small desk fan. I cannot hear it unless im in the kitchen.

Louder than plastic fans of roughly same size such as Laslo. However if you want a truly noisy fan the B & D is not really noisy.

The fan is awesome for larger area, as the Deacon of my church this is why I purchased it and it has worked wonderfully and I was rather surprise that its not very loud at all and all three speed adjust very well according to the loudness which to me is very acceptable however I really don't know how it may sound in a close in area unless of course you have a rather large bedroom. I hope this will be of some help to you and Happy New Year and god luck.

For me if I put it two meters away and set it to lowest level, I can nearly heard any noise. But the sound of fans at the highest and middle level are quite clearly to be heard, which you may enjoy. The highest level is loud. Hope this will be of help.

It isn't quiet, but it isn't as loud as my dishwasher. Maybe about the same as a fan above your stove (not one of those Whisper quiet fans).

Really? Mine is LOUD. You really can't talk in an ajoining room when it is running. It is far louder than the dishwasher, washer and dryer.

Neighbors would definitely would not complain. It is not very loud. I always run at 2/3 capacity and find it is at a very tolerable level. I can imagine putting a towel under it and you almost wouldn't hear it. hope this helps/ i am very happy with this machine.

The fan is not completely silent, but I'm here to tell you--- it is the most silent bathroom fan I've ever heard! The heat fan option is a bit louder than the exhaust fan option.

It's not overly loud, but it's definitely higher pitched than a regular fan. I run a regular fan at night anyway, so I barely hear it.

I do not feel that it is any louder than other models. We have a really small bathroom and it is not an uncomfortable noise level at all.

I have this unit and the only time I've noticed the fan running is when it goes through a periodic self-test, then you can hear the fan kick in. I just got down and put my ear aside the fan vent and could hear a fan but very low volume. My tower is near and the fans in there are much louder, and they are "quiet" fans.

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.

It is not loud at all. However, it does get a bit warm. I have it sitting on my desk and it's been running good without issues. I'd say to make sure there's ventilation wherever you put it.

It is still fairly loud. The lower setting isn't too loud but if you really want to move things, you'll probably need it on the higher setting and it's noticeably louder.

It is about as "loud" as my desktop computer. All you hear is a slight "breeze" coming from the motor's fan. It isn't bothersome at all.

The volume is extremely loud. When I am downstairs in my home I can hear it clearly from the upstairs bathroom. I like that I could adjust the sound as well.
