how quiet is this? Im a light sleeper

The answer ... very quiet. I have mine in my kitchen, where I spend a lot of my time. It sits very close to my stool, and I have NEVER heard the motor running. I'd say it's only 3 feet away, and I cannot hear it running. Hope you're satisfied with this answer.

50 dBA, set in a corner, and measured at a distance of 4ft from the machine when it is set on high. I measured it. I think that would be considered loud by most people if operated in a small or moderate size bedroom. However on the low setting it is whisper quiet. I operate it on the low and medium settings in my 190 sqft bedroom, sleeping 6 ft away, and have no trouble sleeping. I definitely hear it but the whir/hum is not disturbing to me at all. On high it would bother me. The trouble with the low setting is that it puts out a negligible amount of vapor, so the Medium setting works well for me. 50 dBA, set in a corner, and measured at a distance of 4ft from the machine when it is set on high.

The noise level is based on how fast you set the fan. On the lowest setting it is pretty quiet. Even on the highest setting it isn't that loud.

It would depeand on what speed you had it on. I don't fine to be noise at all. though I do not have it in the bed room. on low speed it is very quite. although at any speed, I hardly notice that it is there. this is my second year with the humidifier, and one of the best buys in humidfiers I have made.

I'm also a light sleeper. When I put this humidifier on low at night I don't hear it. It is a very quiet. I've had this humidifier for 2 yrs. and it is the best buy I've made in humidifiers.

I'd classify it as quiet on low fan speed, moderate on high. I have no problem sleeping with the unit in the bedroom on low, or on watching TV in the same room, etc. On high, it's pretty noticeable in the same room, but inaudible elsewhere in the house.

not quiet sure but it is very thin, if i had a second chance id go with thicker one.

It is a bit noisier than some AC units I have owned. I prefer other models on the market, and this one would require a heavy sleeper to use it in a bedroom.

It's not loud enough to wake someone sleeping a floor below... Runs fairly quiet...

It makes a noise but not so loud that it would wake someone up. Just my opinion. My family are not light sleepers though!

It's pretty quiet compared to other dryers. I mostly got it because of how light weight it is. And I'm sure that with a smaller motor, that helps with the sound.

We have it in a small laundry room, so noise is not a factor. I just checked it and it is very quiet. Hope this helps.

Yikes, sorry to hear that. I guess it's all relative. It's loud without being abrasive. I have decent hearing, so I liked that it gradually increases (over about 15-30 seconds) so I can usually turn it off before it gets too loud. I have used it in two different apartments and can always hear it, even while in the shower. But it typically doesn't seem to stir my sleeping fianc, who is a very heavy sleeper. Hope this helps.

Yes to both questions. It's very quiet. I don't like noise while sleeping but my sleep was not hindered.

No the sound is low and very quick. Im a light sleeper but it never bother me. I sometimes but on my kitchen top. I'm very happy with it.

Very quiet. I can't tell when my husband is using it in his recliner and I am close by in the sofa.

Yes it is very quiet. I am up early and like to "vacuum" before I leave. My downstairs neighbors never even hear it.

Mine is relatively quiet; it only makes some mild fan noise when under heavy load.

Its definitely not quiet, but is quieter than others in this price range. It does not have annoying splashy sounds like some others do. Vibration will really depend on how well you install it. I have it in my bedroom about 2 feet away from the bed and can sleep fine, but my wife sometimes complains that its a bit loud for her. One of the pluses of this unit is that the air is aimed up, instead of in your face.

not too noisy at all.. It runs all night long in the bedroom.. soothing if anything!

It would still help but not as much. Mine sits right next to my bed, I have mine on 24/7 and on the LOW level the noise isn't enough to bother me and Im a light sleeper. I hope this helps!
