We are looking to use this in our nursery to keep the temperature around 70 degrees. Will this be too loud for our son?

I don't believe so. You can hear the blower but it is not obnoxiously loud. In fact, it will probably contribute a low grade white noise effect.

I think it provides good white noise. If he sleeps soundly I think it would be fine. If he is a very light sleeper it might bother him.

I use this heater in my office and it sounds like a fan which I don't notice most of the time.

Not gonna lie, it's pretty loud in my opinion however I have high ceilings & an open floor plan. If your kids are light sleepers you might want to explore other options. My 2 year old son can sleep through it but he's always been a sound sleeper.

Probably too noisy for routine use that close to conversation, TV, etc. Ours is about 20 ft down a hall and that's OK. Hard to make a fan that is quiet and still puts out the volume that this one does -- you can feel the breeze from it 30+ ft away!

We are at the max cubic foot cooling specs for this AC. You, if it's an eight foot ceiling, are less than half what we are cooling. You should be ok. Be sure to read my comments about the compressor cooling hose being hot. Your smaller room may be easier to cool without insulating the one hose. I don't find the noise objectionable but it's a pretty big room and it's at the far end. It doesn't affect our hearing the tv programs. I haven't heard a window AC for many years, and they may have improved like everything else.

On auto mode it takes it between 55% and 60%, ideal for many musical instruments. It goes lower if set to high. Has a low setting for reduced noise. Keeps it around 60%. We have two running in an exceptionally large room (combined living/dining room with cathedral ceiling). Taking water out of the air does raise temperature. Less need to run as often if room is closed. Ours is pretty open.

It's pretty loud; you probably wouldn't want it in the bedroom or near your tv. On the other hand, the air that comes out is cool -- a first for us, and a welcome change from the first two that we had. So far, it's a good little workhorse that doesn't heat up the room it's in.

yes, it will work well for new born baby. But I think it suitable for room temperature around 23 degree

I would agree. It is shockingly loud. I cant have it on at night. I mainly use it in early evening to cool my bedroom down to sleep. Our climate is cool here so it works for what i want. The grinding noise sounds at times like it will self destruct!

High powered fans can get pretty loud (and could be too loud for a baby) and would probably still be louder than this thing. Of course they would definitely be louder once this thing breaks, which two of them did for us within a year of getting it. It really would depend on the fan, but I don't think this was louder than a standard box fan on high setting.

Sure, why not? I would recommend it in a smaller room due to its cfm rating. Just remember it is louder than most reviews state. The noise has not been a problem for me, I wanted something with style, not all white plastic.

Well, those questions are a bit relative. I own two of these and I'd say they're not too loud on low and medium, on high they're naturally a bit louder. They do make some clicks when they oscillate so they're not whisper quiet. In regards to heat, I don't think I'd recommend mounting one in an extremely hot place since there is a lot of plastic on them, but I don't know what kind of temperatures you're talking about.

Yes, absolutely it would be quieter. But not near as warm. I put this about 12" from my feet for 8 hours a day. I don't think it would do a dorm room any favors as far as heat is concerned.

Hi Patricia,We use it in our 200 sqft living room and it works really well. The ocilation feature allows you to get more area heated than a normal space heater. However, it does make a fan-like noise when it's running. It's not obnoxiously loud, just a low hum that really ends up being white-noise, and not something we find annoying. Hope that helps a bit!

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.

Yes, quite loud though. Will also heat up the room a bit. Manual says to avoid areas like that, but doesn't say why.

I bought this for my nursery as well...but I would not recommend it. I bought it for the safety feature that it shuts off if it tips over, and it's really quiet! However, it only has on/off and level 1 or 2. There is no way to set the temperature! I would go in and the room was boiling! Really disappointed b/c the other features are perfect.

I recommend it. I also sue 2 of these AcuRite 00613A1 Indoor Humidity Monitor one inside and one outside. The light may be just what you need to raise the temperature in your baby's greenhouse. in a warm room I almost cooked my seedlings as the temp went up to 93f before I caught it but an a cooler room (68f) it kept the temp about 11 degrees warmer than the ambient temp in the room
