Im wanting a box fan for the noise for sleeping. Does this fan make good noise? I do not want a quiet fan

It's fairly quiet and makes a LOT of breeze. Great fan but I wouldn't purchase it as a sleep aid.

I may just have a bad one, but my fan vibrates like crazy making it unusable as a sleeping noise maker.

Best "sleeping machine/noise maker" I've ever owned...I even am able to run it on medium instead of high.

Absolutely not. Obviously any fan makes some noise but this heater is quiet on both the lo & hi settings. We use it occasionally and primarily in our bedroom. It warms the room well and we both sleep with no noise problems with the fan.

Unit has three different fan speed settings to help with noise. But my opinion is no, unit is not excessively loud. It is in my bedroom, I sleep with it on low.

It's more like a very small fan. I'd say it is relatively quiet. It's not a rattling sound or anything. I usually use mine at night so it's ready by morning.

I don't think that fan is going to be loud enough. The sole purpose is to use in a camping sleeping mode.treat your tinitius and get s good night sleep

This fan makes about the same amount of noise as a standard 20 inch box fan. Perhaps slightly less. If youget a fan that gets really loud it might keep you awake of course. (Also, some air conditioners allow you to reduce the internal fan setting, which might help you a little.)I don't own a Marsona, but it is supposed to generate white noise, babbling brook, and a few others.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9x8zIVKnzvQ

Well this question would depend on a personal feeling of what is noisy so I'll do my best. I took this product with me camping. When camping it's obviously totally quiet except for bird sounds and such. The fan was on since it was hot. The low mode is VERY quiet and I think anyone would agree. The high mode gives more substantial cooling effect and I was surprised it wasn't louder. So by my scale the high fan function is about a 4 or 5 out of 10 on the noisy scale. I think you'll be impressed.

I would wake me up, but I'm a lite sleeper. It does put out a lot of air so I guess that's what makes it louder. But, with that said, I'm only comparing this is the other fans that we've used before.

It makes a humming noise as all fans do. Now I'm sensitive to noise when I sleep but this one is not so loud so I have no problem sleeping with it on.

It is equal to having a box fan on high in my opinion. Not loud but you know it it on.

If you use it for white noise it would be pretty good. If you need it quiet to sleep and just want the air, this might not be for you. It's not crazy loud, but it does make a little noise.

The best way for me to answer the question is to compare it to a ceiling fan. Compared that sound it is slightly louder. Not so loud that it can keep me from taking a nap on the couch. Hope this helps. We have been very pleased with the product.

this fan provides white noise. I love this fan but if you want a very quiet fan this would not be the fan for you

Compared to what? You will certainly hear it running. It is louder than a ceiling fan. It doesn't keep me awake, though, and I am right smack next to it at night, so I can hog all the cold air.

Loud... Not suited for bedrooms if you're planning on sleeping. The fan makes a wobbling hum that is very distracting if you're a light sleeper or when you're waking up in the morning and want to stay up in bed just a bit more. The oscillating feature also makes its own noise, so you get 3 levels of noticeable noise.

It does sound like a box fan. I would say it doesn't sound like an oscillating fan.

Its pretty quiet. I run it at night on the lowest speed while sleeping. It's not silent, but probably the quietest fan I've owned. During the day, with more ambient noise, I hardly notice the fan is on, unless its blowing on me.
