Have not noticed any unusual heat and the drive is nearly silent. Has been working flawlessly since installed.

Hi,Heat none, noise lets says like a normal hard drive do, a little bit of noise.

Heat is minimal. Noise is a bit louder with the fan but with a 6 foot cord I set it aside and don't really notice it. It is super fast and great for video editing 4k raw files.

Heat is reasonable as long as you give them a little space to breathe. I don't find the noise to be an issue at all.

No heat that I can tell. Case is cool. Quiet of all my drives and not even noticed. Very satisfied, bought a second one.

It is not too noisy. On the other hand I used it in a kitchen where the noise level is higher then in an office. Good luck.

The noise level is moderate. I use it only occasionally for rabbit, possum etc and its fine.

The sound is normal. The unit has higher power use and needs a fan to cool the unit.

They make loud beeping when turning them off and on and /or adjusting the temp setting. But while running they are not very loud. They make some noise when reaching the set temp and turning off and back on. The usual clicking, but be warned they beep loud when making any adjustments. But if you close the bedroom off, they will keep it warm. So far this year our low had been wind chill of -10. And it kept our 15x13 with 13 ft vaulted ceiling bedroom very toasty. Had to come out from covers. So it more than makes up for the occasional whirring and clicking.

I don't have much to compare it against, but I'd say its slightly loud, but not too bad. If it is completely silent, it's very noticeable, but otherwise, its not too bad.

We carry our unit on the floorboard of the back seat behind the driver. The sound level is only noticeable when the radio is off and then the sound is the same as a small fan on low speed. The heat given off is not noticeable at all, as we run in the summer with the air conditioning on. It is very important to not place anything on the unit so the intake and outlet for the fan are not interfered with. Hope this helps in your decision.

I have not noticed any heat. I did have a problem with noise, but their customer service helped me with that. I mounted it on some foam and that solved the problem.

I have not experienced that noise. I use electric heat. Could there be a difference?

As far as noise - It is a very quiet machine - Cooling will be based on size of room... We use in a 600 sqft area and get it down to 66 on a 100 degree day in San Diego...

Not very noisy at all, you can hear it but it hasn't kept me from studying, watching movies or TV. I would recommend this heater to anyone

There is a slight clicking sound when the heat turns on. I am a light sleeper and it has not bothered me although if you are looking for complete sound obliteration this may not work for you.

Hmmm...not sure about the fan, but I haven't heard it and I normally sit within arm's reach of it when using it. I am not using it in a super quiet location, such as a studio, however. When packing up after two hours of use I haven't noticed that the unit is hot.

I have it in an outbuilding with a finished upper level. We are in Michigan, worked perfectly last winter, kept the building (832 sqft down, 512 sqft up) very comfortable. We watch television upstairs directly over the heater, up there noise not an issue. In the open space where heater is, acceptability of noise level and air movement would be subjective (not objectionable to me).

I do not know on the sound of the unit however, it is very quiet. Italso works exceptionally well and does a nice job for what we intended to do in our bedroom. When two people live alone in the house it is always better to just have your sleeping cooler then to cool the entire home in the evening. I think if you get this particular unit you will enjoy it.
