How quiet is this compared to a regular refrigerator?

I have one, it is probably about the same but you might notice it a little bit more though if it is in the living room like mine though. It is not a problem, buy it.

The unit is not a standard refrigerator with a compressor. It cools by thermionics and the only sound is a quiet running fan. It is very hard for us to hear the unit when it operates.

79 dB on spec sheet. Quiet than most but don't expect a refrigerator like hum. It just is quieter for an air compressor.

It's not extremely noisy but not real quiet either. I have it mounted in my kitchen which is kind of medium sized so that might make a difference. It puts out alot of air though.

It's not all that loud, but the fan does go on and off frequently. It keeps the temperature exactly where you set it. On another subject, though, the shelves while beautifully made are way to tight for many bottle types. I can't recommend this unit for that reason.

yes it is very quiet, especially compared with a standard compressor type dehumidifier. But initially it has a strong odor from the heating element- it was really strong for about 2 weeks- if it had been in a small room with me it would have been unacceptable. It goes away after a couple of weeks. So break it in in another room before you get intimate with it.

This is suitable, it was really quiet in my dorm room. The fridge is kind of big and it gets cold quickly.

quiet, although i have it mounted in a cabinet. I've never been aware of it.

Yes. It's small and sounds like a regular refrigerator, not super quiet like a SubZero but not at all loud. I use mine as an only refrigerator (one person household). My dog did was afraid of the old one, she went through about 4 screens last summer.... She's OK with this one.

I think it is very quiet for how cold this unit gets. It gets more quiet when its on it's Econ Mode. I think all window air conditioners will have some level of noise but in my opinion this is one of the quietest ones I have ever owned. And once you stop listening to judge the level of noise it becomes bearly noticeable at all. This is a great quiet unit in my opinion.

I use it in the basement also, but it is incredibly quiet. I have had family members comment on how quiet it is in comparison to the unit they have in their living areas.

Not noisy at all...when it's cooling water you can hardly tell its on...but when it's drawing water from the bottle below its more noisy then.....but that doesn't take too long.Be wary of the plastic pins that the door pivots on...one broke quickly and makes the door not stable when closed. Walmart carries this exact model, so check price there as well

My Midea HD Refrigerator Freezer ran with a little noise until it was cold & freezing then quieted down to the point I forget it's there. Quiet is good, especially in closed in or small areas. By the way, it also runs efficiently and looks nice. I'm glad I bought it.

It's not noiseless but quieter than the Kenmore upright I had before this. There's less noise when using just the hose with cleaning attachments rather than the full vacuum.

It is very quiet, it is not silent. When I'm in the room with it I can hear it humming a little - comforting hum, reminds me I have a cooler full of chilled wine.

It is very quiet. It is much quieter than other small appliances. The impact on my energy bill is insignificant.

I love this air conditioner but I would not consider it a very quiet machine. We have one in our family room and generally have to turn it off to enjoy TV.
