I do keep keep it running 24/7. Honestly, the only time I notice it making noise is when the water level is too low, other than that, it's very quiet.

I keep my fountain running 24/7 and it's right outside my bedroom as well. I keep my bedroom door partially closed bit the fountain does not bother me. Although I can hear it during the day when all is quiet. It is more of a soothing sound to me. I would say if the sound is going to bother you get a flowing type fountain not one that drips. Aside from that I really recommend this fountain it is my favorite one and is easiest to clean.

It isn't very loud at all, in fact the water coming out hitting the water in the bottom makes more sound than the unit its self , I don't hear the motor, just the sound of water. I purchased a smaller cheaper unit a few months prior and the motor was lound, I have could hearing and it would wake me so I had to return it. Hope this helps.

I leave it off at night now because, yes, it can be heard a room away. I have the 'one spout' adapter on it now and it makes less trickling noise than the others.

I think it sounds like a fountain that you actually get for the pleasant sound. However, it is very large for a Siamese cat and very much trouble to put back together after cleaning. It must be cleaned often. I got it because the stainless is more likely to stay clean than the usual plastic and not breakable like the ceramic ones. However, I abandoned it and now am using a different design that is plastic but very easy to refill and clean. I wish came in a smaller size for cats.

Da doooo da doooo. Lol. It's not too annoying really, you can also adjust the volume to high or low. I keep it on low. Also don't let it get too wet, I'm on my second one. Happy overall though.

It does run periodically and make some noise. It is on par with the fridge in terms of loudness, I think. I was, and maybe still am a bit, bothered by the noise and thought about putting it in a different room (it is in the kitchen). So, actually, the noise is the one thing I have NOT liked about it, but I am not sure if it is enough noise to bother YOU. My husband is NOT bothered by the noise. That answer might be very unhelpful, sorry.

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)!

It's not very loud at all. It would work for a bedroom. I wouldn't put it into a bedroom under 200 square feet because I think that'd be overkill. I have it in a 400 sq ft. office and it works great - not too loud and maintains the temperature fairly well. We live in the southwest in a very dry climate and do not have any problem with the water tray. I can easily fall asleep with the unit on and I'm a fairly light sleeper.

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.

I don't think it's particularly loud but you might. It's located in our basement. I can hear it when it runs but it's not like it disturbs us or we can't talk over it if u know what I mean. Let me put it this way: the washing machine is way louder. I expect it to get a work out this week with all the snow melt. Glad to have it. Worked like a champ last spring. Good luck.

It is kind of noisy, but not in a loud way. We have it outside behind the shop and it pumps water to the front deck. When it's pumping, I can't hear it when I'm watering plants. It isn't an on-demand pump, it runs continuously.

Well I wouldn't want it in the room if I was trying to take a nap but I use it outside to clean my tankless hot water heater. In other words, yes it is rather loud but not overly irritating. I guess it all depends on what you are going to use it for, where, and for what period of time.

I wouldnt call it a 'quiet' fan. But neither is it loud. I would put it right in the middle. We can leave it on and not hear it in the bedroom attached to the bathroom if the door is closed, just a low hum, but easy to sleep through. I did notice that it got a little bit louder after a few months of installing it, but I may just need to clean it a little.

I'm sorry you're having trouble. The first fountaini bought recommended you leave it unplugged for a few days when introducing it into your cat's environment so they can get used to it. Maybe that would help. If it's used it could be that the pump is a bit noisy but the sound has never bothered my cats. I hope it works out.

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.

Mine is noisy, but kind of a white noise. If I had it in the bedroom, it would not bother me, but I like that type of noise to be able to cover for other random noises from outside. It is most definitely NOT a quiet unit, though.

No, I would not purchase this fountain again because it's too loud. I would definitely change to another fountain.

If you turn it up all the way it can sound like a small outdoor fountain. I turn mine up to where the water hits the base where it starts to expand. I normally don't here anything with it set there.

It is no louder than other filters. The main noises are the bubbles and the pump. If your pump is quiet the filter will be quiet. I keep mine in my bedroom and the noise does not bother me.

Yes, my pump makes "noises" all the time, be sure to keep the water level high enough to keep it flowing. That seems to help with the noise. After replacing the pump twice, I came to the conclusion it HAS TO BE cleaned weekly. Running the fountain 24/7 keeps the water circulating and is an added bonus of "playtime" for my furry babies.
