What is the db noise rating for this fan?
1523886
Newegg specs it at 17.6 dba. I can't hear it unless I put my ear next to the case.

On the lower setting the fan is reasonable for an office (mine is used at work). It would be noticed only as white noise in my opinion. On high it is louder.

I have not measured the volume in dB, However it is much quieter than the case fans and CPU fans. I currently have it in my workshop in an open air environment, so I never hear the thing. The fan is 140mm I believe, and is controlled by temperature. The intelligent fan control keeps fan noise to a minimum below 45C. Which it never reached, even while mining in the summer. Regardless, it will be a very quiet unit for most applications. Look for the review at Johnny Guru for more info. -buzznut

It's about ten amps, and the noise level is similar to that of a two foot heavy duty portable fan. It's not quiet.

About average noise when compressor is running quiet when just the fan is running

The box says 49dB. I don't know how they rate that, but my unit is very quiet.

I call it quiet, even under load. I still hear fans, but they don't overwhelm my tiny speaker system. If you want zero noise, then this won't work.

120 db as per spec. That probably tells you nothing. What I CAN tell you is that it works fine. Nice loudness.

Do not know a dB # but it is VERY quiet compared to all other compressors I have owned or worked around. I Love them! (I own 2)

79 dB on spec sheet. Quiet than most but don't expect a refrigerator like hum. It just is quieter for an air compressor.

I think they are c, I really haven't used the fan, it makes sooo much noise. I am looking for another fan

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

I measured mine at approximately 52 db from 3 feet. Keep in mind this is the outdoor unit. The indoor is much better, at 43 db full on. My neighbor's new central air unit is much, much louder than this at 63 db 30 feet away.

I can't tell you the decibel rating, but it is fairly noisy. I am sitting in a bedroom 20 ft away, and it is still fairly loud. If you are concerned about the noise, buy one where the fan is mounted at the end of conduit, hung from the attic rafters. I have a low pitch roof, and did not have enough space to do this. My son has one, and it is very quiet. You can barely hear it. On the plus side, this fan really does a good job of moving air in from the outside. Hope this helps!

They say it is 68 or so dba. I have had quieter and louder. Hope that helps.

We like our fan. Have it out on our patio. Have not noticed any loud noise. Very quiet! Hope this helps.

As long as your fan is clean, there really shouldn't be much noise under different load mods. I haven't heard that the fan is an issue.
