It's quite quiet - even on maximum speed i can barely tell that's on. It's kind of like a moderate whisper of air, you know it's there, but it's quite smooth and soft. I've had it running pretty much non stop since I bought it and it's delivered excellently. I sometimes forget it's even there until I put my hand up to the front of it to feel the rush of air.

Certainly not going to be as quiet as a ceiling fan. But you hear more of the rushing air versus motor noise. We have had this in the hall with kids asleep and it's a nice white noise for them. I would only use this for drying carpet after cleaning or flooding.

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.

It is quite loud, it may do the trick. There are also alarm clocks that have a "Nature Sounds" setting that are also quite loud. I have one by Memorex that has such a feature. Good luck!

Yes. There is an opening on the side to turn it on/off silent. It is small though, and having nails helps!

The alarm will play through the speaker, but only if it hasn't timed out yet. So as long as you're only going to sleep for about fifteen minutes, you'll be good. It's a bit unfortunate.

I need absolute quiet when I fall asleep. That being said, it is noisy for me; however, I learned if I turn it on prior to bed time, it won't make as much noise. I turn it on 30 mins before bedtime to get the machine warmed up.

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.

Quite loud. Well it depends how close you are to your neighbors, but if you leave in a house I don't think it will wake them up.

Yes, But be prepared to be startled when it goes off at night. It does not have a volume control.

It is very quiet. It runs all night while we sleep. Sometimes we have to go over to the machine and check to see if is still on. Even if you should happen to hear the unit, it is a "white noise" that will help you sleep.

No. It's silent. There is a blue light on it that will turn on or flash which can be distracting in a dark room. But it makes zero noise.

It is very quiet. I don't like any noise when I sleep and sometimes I put this unit on my nightstand and it doesn't bother me. When it is in our family room I don't even notice that it is on.

No really quiet or loud.... If you want power it makes noise, but less than a vacuum cleaner !!!

Not too noisy. Might wake a light sleeper in the next room with the doors open.
