What's the noise level of this? Does the fan run continuously?

There is very little noise with my unit when the fan isn't running. And the only times so far that the fans have kicked in were when I had it hooked to my TV as an external display. Don't get me wrong, the fans are far from silent when they do kick in, but with fairly normal use, they usually don't.

It does run constantly but is quiet for normal use. You can kick into high gear when you want with a press of a button on the keyboard. It will also ramp up the fan when gaming for a while.

Using the computer for everyday work, the fan rarely has a need to even come on, using the graphics heavily, where you use the Nvidia instead of the onboard, or something that is really heavy on processing, then it will. When the fan runs, it is noticeable but not obnoxious.

the fan does run continuously but at very low speed, if you are playin demanding stuff you can click the boost and it goes to 11... but its not really loud, considering the speakers you can cover the fan noise at 30-50% volume... theres no reason really to turn the volume up more, but also it will take hot exhause and get the output to cool in around a minute...

Not very noisy at all. I mean the 770 is a powerhouse of a card especially with 3 gigs, so you can't expect it to be completely silent, you'll hear the fan kick in every now and then. For example it will just be idling, once I start up a game that needs some juice like Far Cry 3, you'll hear the fan whir into motion. Nothing intolerable though, you don't notice it after the initial fan start up. After that the fan will not run continuously.. but I can't be too sure on that honestly because I just don't notice it. It depends on the game as well. I've noticed that with Dota 2 the fan doesn't kick in until after about a hour continuous of play, whereas more GPU demanding games may start off right away. Just a FYI there is a button integrated in the keyboard that can increase fan power to keep your temps lower. Never had a reason to use it though.

The noise is kinda loud, now kinda is about a portable fan that runs at the medium speed, but you can shut it off with the very neat selection of function keys this laptop has

the fan isn't always at max, but when it is (seems like random) its unbearably loud. I returned mine.

It's not very loud. I sleep with the ceiling fan on and this thing too, and sometimes I can't tell if it's on. The fan is basically what you would find in a computer tower so the noise is minimal. A slight humm if anything

No detectable noise and no fan that I saw. However, there are vents along the side so I'm guessing there is some kind of ventilation system to keep it cool. Whatever or however it does that, noise is not a factor.

It makes a bit of noise as the speed is increased with any fan. I guess it comes down to how quiet is quiet enough. The fan does a good job of cooling things down but does not oscillate.

Heat I'm not sure of as I always have a fan running with it but noise not at all

No, I have had my fan since last year and it works fine. It is a little noisy, but apparently they all are. We love it.

It's pretty loud. Manufacture specs say 50dB, I'd say that just about right. It's about the same noise as one of the old box style fans.

If the fan to which you refer is the convection oven fan, the answer is no, it is not noisy. The unit appears to be well insulated from sound.

Yes the fan does run continuously to circulate cool air in the chamber when in use. In my opinion, it is louder than it should be. In our home which is open concept (kitchen opens to the dining and living areas), the noise is mildly annoying though I have gotten more used to it over time.

Perceived level of noise can be kind of subjective, but I don't find that it bothers me. It is not silent, but I have not turned on fans or wall AC units before due to noise and this one does not seem to interfere with my need of quiet.

The noise level of this dehumidifier is very quiet compared to any dehumidifier I've ever heard. The fan does run continuously so that the humidity level in the room is accurately monitored. To me the noise is like a fan on low or medium, depending on the speed setting of the dehumidifier. I hope this helps.

The fan runs continuously as long as the unit is turned on. I am not at the house that has this unit right now. But, as I recall, Auto Fan is just a continuous fan setting.

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

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

Yes, fans run continuously, but they are quiet. Nice and big but screen has wrinkles because it is folded in storage. Maybe lay it or flat for awhile and it will smooth

I use mine in a shop, I would say the noise level would be similar to that of a box fan. The unit does a great job.

bought 2 about 6 months ago. The fan seems to be loud on mine, but it needs to be cleaned regularly. My husbands isn't loud at all. Cannot tell it is running. It does run all the time. Not just when it gets hot. I sometimes unplug when not in use. For the price, being light weight, I like it.
