How loud is this fan? Thanks

I think it is pretty quite. It has the same amount of "hum" as a normal fan, but seems to have a much larger capacity to push air than other fans of this size I have used.

On the lower setting it's barely audible and on the high setting it has a soft hum but nothing crazy.

It has 2 settings, so one is louder and the other softer. It's not very loud if you ask me which is good. Yet it still provides good air movement!

Using a Radio Shack Sound Pressure Meter measured six feet away in a bedroom, I recorded 50 db on low speed and 58 db on high. Nice consistent low volume white noise. No resonations or rattles of any kind.

It's not whisper quiet but it is not loud at all. Use in a dorm room and it works very well.

In my opinion it is very quiet. I was surprised by how much air such a quiet fan could move.

The noise level is based on how fast you set the fan. On the lowest setting it is pretty quiet. Even on the highest setting it isn't that loud.

On the low setting its barely audible. Even on the high setting its pretty quiet. MUCH MUCH quieter than a fan with "hard" blades.

This fan moves a Lot of air, so it is fairly loud. I expected it to be a little more quiet given the listed decibel ratings, but I am completely happy with it due to the air movement.

Sorry for the delayed answer. The fan is not at all loud. Definitely less noise than my full-sized HP.

It is loud but not to the point of that. Mine is in the bedroom with the TV and I have it on normal level sound. When fan is running can hardly hear it but once the air kicks in its definitely louder. Hope this helps.

Compared to what? You will certainly hear it running. It is louder than a ceiling fan. It doesn't keep me awake, though, and I am right smack next to it at night, so I can hog all the cold air.

Hi it hums a little and it gets louder when you change the fan speed. If it was to loud I would not be able to sleep with the noise.

It's average for a box fan which I consider loud. I have to turn my tv up a good amount to hear it over the fan. they are about 6 feet from each other.

On low, it's not loud at all. Since it's a larger fan, it's a bit quieter than the small diameter ones. On the Hi setting, it may be a little loud for your purposes, but I haven't hunted much so am not sure what's considered loud for you. I still think it's worth a try for you for the price to get two of them...

It does hum pretty loud, but it really cools the air, so the sound doesn't bother me. I have one in my bedroom & I often use it with the timer before I go to sleep. I only have this fan so I don't know what other models sound like.

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.

Yes, even on low it is loud, from the fan blades pushing the air. It registers on my decibel meter at around 50 decibels at where I sleep. I use it to drown out the neighbors annoying yapping dog at 2am. As well as cats that fight outside my window. It moves tho a impressive amount of air.

The fan is very loud.. I replaced the fan with a whisper fan I had from an old computer.

Are you referring to the amount of noise it makes when its running? My unit is in storage for the winter, so I cannot measure for you, but I can attest that it is no louder than the average window unit.

Not loud at all. The machine is not a real great air filtering wonder. Air volume is low. Fan needs higher speed. I wouldn't buy it again.
