There are 3 speeds - L, M, and H. The lower is very quiet and that's all I use in my bedroom. The medium is fairly quiet as well. High is a bit loud and not a setting I often use.I doubt that the sound would be an issue.

On the highest setting it makes a little noise. I usually set mine one notch lower and sometimes I forget to turn it off because it is so quiet I don't know it's on.

Yes and No. It has 3 speed levels. First one is quite but you only get some "fresh air". Second and third levels are really powerful, but also noisy.

On low speed you can't hear it. On medium it is very faint. This is the speed that we use. High speed can be heard but it is not that bad. I have no problem sleeping with it. On high it is quieter than a room AC in a window.

It's quiet on low, but loud on med and high. I would try another model if your wife is a light sleeper. The 510 is perfect for that.

I expect a little noise from fans, and while this one is louder than most at HI, I think the LO and MED speeds are reasonably quiet. But the sheer force of air blown on HI from such a little fan makes the extra noise worth it.

It's pretty quiet with the fan running. It's virtually silent with the fan turned off.

Ok, honestly, this is a very quiet fan. However on low, either with or without the oscillation, it is as quiet as 2 people speaking in a normal voice. For instance my TV at a 50 out of a 100, it matches the sound level. I use 2 of them in my room, when I sleep, and the sound level works for me. My alarm radio is more than loud enough to break through the sounds of both fans. It is not a VERY quiet fan, but quiet enough to sleep with.

Mine is quiet but it depends on which setting you use. If it's on the lowest and is still very loud then there is an issue.

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.

Not super quiet, especially as it kicks on. But I haven't problem sleeping right through the noise! :-)

Yes, this fan is plenty loud. I bought it because I like noise when I sleep. It fills that purpose.

I think it is very quiet... Quieter than my kids ceiling fan! Love the power, especially for the size

No fan like noise, very quiet and if you shut the bedroom door I think you should be fine.

This is the most versatile fan I have used. SO many angles and positions. And, yes, it is very quiet. It is a fan so isn't completely silent. It depends on how high you turn it up. Bedroom? I think so. Good luck!

It's fairly quiet, but there is a low hum. If you need total silence this will not do for you. However, this is the quietest battery-operated fan that I found.

Relatively quiet. It's definitely quieter than the last fan of similar build I used.

It is quiet .... I sleep with this fan on high every night and it doesn't bother me at all.

It is actually pretty quiet. A separate unit made by GE in another room is much noisier. Both units run constantly when in "cool" mode. The fan doesn't shut off unless set to the economy mode. I leave it there, but unfortunately the thermostat is much less sensitive.

It is not silent and it is not noisy. You can easily hold a conversation while standing next to it. It is quieter than window air conditioners I've been around. If it is running next to the head of the bed while you are trying to sleep, there is no doubt you will know it is there. Will it annoy you? My wife is phonophobic and on low speed it didn't bother her: she described it as a white noise she could overlook.

Yes this fan runs very quietly. We used this fan in our bedroom and had no problem. I think you will be pleased with this fan!

It's probably about as quiet as a box fan but in general, this fan is not quiet. I find the lowest setting to push too much air and is too noisy.
