How noisy is this machine? Would you put it in a room next to your bedroom?

I would say the sound level is mostly 'average' -- no beeps or buzzes, but lots of swishing and humming. However, the loudest part is actually quite loud, and lasts maybe 30 seconds. The first time I heard it, I thought something was wrong with the washer, but after talking to a technician, was assured it was normal. I think it happens at the end of the rinse cycle, when the tub is spinning very fast, and water is pouring in for the rinse, and the clothes are getting compressed against the side. Due to this, at some point the clothes are no longer covering the bottom of the washer, and the water pouring in is hitting the empty bottom of the metal tub directly. This sound of water hitting the tub is startling, and probably child-waking loud if it's near their room.

It's not noisy but not perfectly quiet. Just a low humming sound. I have used it in my bedroom and it did not keep my awake but some people are more sensitive to sounds than others.

It is very quiet. I live in a one room studio and it does not bother me in the least.

I use it in an open kitchen. It is not quiet but not too bad. we use it in a condo and I have concerns for the people below, therefore, I would not run it at midnight or early morning. Just trying to be considerate.

It is not noisy. You can easily have in a bedroom and it will go unnoticed.

Very, very quiet. I did research this before buying and was happy with results. It is in our bedroom and very unobtrusive. Doesn't interfere with sleeping. Good luck.

My roomate knows all of specs. It's a solid machine though. It's noisy at times, but keep it on low while you have guests and/or watching TV. Auto while out of the house/apartment.

Yes, I would say this machine is fairly quiet. I have definitely heard and used much louder machines. It wouldn't wake someone up if they were asleep.

Wrt the first part of the question, I have the fan about 8' from me when watching television and the noise level is quite low. I'm somewhat hard of hearing so I suspect it would be quiet enough for you. As for sleeping, the high speed does generate a soothing level of white noise in my bedroom, just as you want. I move it to that room when I go to sleep.

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...

On the two highest settings it can be loud.Easy solution is to turn the unit on either the highest setting or Auto about an hour prior to going into the room.At that point you can put it on the first or second settings overnight and it shouldn't disturb you.I leave it on Auto and sometimes it will cycle into high while I'm sleeping but that no longer bothers me.Effective machine the easier breathing makes the noise issue tolerable.

It is kinda noisy. I have it in my dining room and not bedroom so have not tried to sleep with it on. Noise depends on the level of diffusion that it is set to.

It is not too loud; about the same as a window fan. I have mine in the bedroom, and I would not be able to sleep if it was very noisy.

Not at all. It is the least noisy of any fan heater that I've owned or that I've seen in other's houses. Can be used in any setting - office, bedroom, nursery, etc. - without being distracting.
