When the sea creature mode is on, is the motor to do this supposed to be so loud?

I don't remember it being loud, just a little motorized noise. You should return it and have it replaced if it's loud! Good luck!:)

Yes. It's loud. Boat and backyard no problem.Keep in mind when portable it takes D batteries. I plan to get rechargeables when spring comes around.

The motor is very quiet, don't hear it at all but it does have a strong waterfall sound. Sounds like you are in a spa, so if you find the water noise soothing you should be good. If you are looking for very quiet then this one might be too loud for you.

I don't know decibel wise but I don't find it loud at all. There's no clicking or whirring of the motor. What you hear is the breeze blowing.

It is loud. I have installed in a Hisun 700 UTV that has an ATV type battery.

Mine is noisy too, a high pitch whirring sound. I wondered if mine was broken as well but it has great suction so I think it's suppose to sound like that :)

No, should not be that loud (but mine is louder than I would like). Mine reminds me of my old fish tank air pump in loudness. Sounds like yours may be vibrating inside of the unit.

My first one had a very loud motor whine, so I exchanged it and the second was the same way! NOT relaxing. I read earlier reviews and found this to be a major complaint.

It is kind of loud - but I don't feel like I have scream to be heard. You do have to talk louder.... kind of a like a blender, a normal blender, not one with a 2HP motor!! Hope that helps!

I bought the fan because I need the sound to sleep. At the speed of 1, the sound is normal. At 3 it is louder but not insanely loud. To get to the motor you would have to go through the front of the fan.... I am no mechanical person, but I think it would be more work than it is worth!!

It gets pretty loud! I guess it really depends on what kind of motorcycle you're riding.

It does make some noise like water hammer after releasing the float. I guess that is not unusual.

Yes it is noisy because of the pump type. I sold it and bought the Kendal 898D+ and it is quiet.

I also am complaining about the loudness of the motor. Since there are other complaints, is Ninja Corporation thinking of capping the noise somehow?

I have the motor in mine, I think it helps, but I have it mounted in my enclosed snowmobile trailer. It is not loud. The thermostat that is part of the fan helps out a lot I think that is my fav part of the fan.

Yes! oddly enough it's super loud that way. back side flat down. You can set it to announce every hour or set a timer as you like. Don't get it wet. it hates water I found out the hard way but was lucky and put it in the sun for a day and it started to work again. But I had to reset everything.
