How much noise does this make? Would it also be a good "white noise" device to use in my hotel room?

As far as I remember it's makes little noise. I think it might work in a small room.

This does not make any noise. I would not recommend this. Mine also quit working a month after I got it. The USB part breaks and it stops working.

Depends what your noise tolerance is. If it's not very high then I would suggest using the low setting. I sleep with it in the opposite corner of the room, about 9 ft away and it's still moderately noisy. However, I bought it for that very reason because it drones out other outside noise.

I use mine while traveling often without any music on. Turn on noise canceling and select a mode to eliminate aircraft noise or motel air conditioning noise without having to listen to music.

Yes it is good for the white noise. Not for trying to watch tv in the same room though, ha ha. Think you'll like it.

We use it in our bedroom and it works well. It's about a 12x15 bedroom. It also has white noise, in a good way, which we like as it's a low pitch.

Admittedly, I have the smallest unit, but it is absolutely whisper-quiet. I can hear it a tiny bit if nothing else is on in the room. If anything, it's a tiny bit of white noise (which is a good thing at night, as it masks other noises).

Yes, I'd say it is about as loud as it gets based on my white noise experience over the past ten years. I use one in my young daughters room.

It is pretty loud-but that is one reason I bought it-I use it in my bedroom for ambient noise while I fall asleep (also to keep cool)!

I don't know why CS would tell you that! It doesn't get any quieter. It cools great even in a large room but probably best used in a bedroom where the "white noise" doesn't bother you while you are sleeping.

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.

I think on the lowest speed it should be okay. I use it in my bedroom for white noise but I put it as far away as possible.

We use this in our bedroom at night, usually. It is pretty loud (and when the container is close to full, it rattles fiercely). We are able to sleep fairly well with it on, but it took transition time. It has become a "white noise." But, if you are accustomed to silent-running appliances, then this is not a good option for you.

I would not count on it for white noise. Have you checked into a sound machine?

I'm curious about the noise level in a quiet office environment too. I'm sure it wouldn't interrupt anyone, but would everyone in the vicinity hear the sounds it makes while operating?

I don't know about compared to others because it's the only one I've owned, but you can hear it in the other room. I won't use mine while others are still sleeping, but if they are awake, I don't think it's loud enough to be a distraction.

The unit isn't super loud or super quiet. But you do hear when it is on. However I have slept with the unit just 2 feet away or less with no problem. The noise level shouldn't be a major concern. If it is than this type of air cleaner is not what you should be looking for to clean your air.

It sounds like any other hair dryer. It is not high pitched like most found in hotel rooms.
