How loud is this heater? (In decibels if anyone knows). Looking for quiet space heater for my acupuncture treatment room. Thank you!

Its fairly loud when its first turned on if it has a big increase in room temperature to do. Once the room is up to the temperature you want, the heater fan slows down to a whisper to maintain a steady room temperature.

I do not have any information on DB rating of the heater or any way to measure it. However, I can say that the level of sound from the heater is dependent upon the mode it is operating in. When operating at full output, the fan is operating at high speed and thus generates a level of sound consistent with any fan operated room heater which I would classify as moderately noisy. When operating at "idle" speed it is very quiet all of which is dependent upon the thermostat setting relative to room temperature. If you desire a very quiet heater, then I would suggest a radiant type heater that does not have a fan. I do not have any information on DB rating of the heater or any way to measure it.

I don't know the decibels, but not that loud. No louder than a forced air heating system, as with an oil furnace. Takes up very little space and is safe; whereas, a quiet radiant heater with no fan is large and gets very hot, so you must keep away from other items in the room.

Don't know decible level but there is a noticeable fan noise - especially on high.

I do not know the number of decibels, but it is so quiet that I have to look from across the room for the red light to see it it is on or not.

The noise level is not high it is like a what you might here at a doctor's office, but if you are sensitive to higher frequency noise you will be able to notice it. The unit does provide great heating and it is very economical.

It is not completely quiet but really, no louder than a fan. I love this little heater, it works well and it was so reasonable!

I don't hear any noise, I like this bed so much I got a second one- I have a 14 year old Shitzu and she absolutely loves it- I leave both plugged in all day - 1 bed is upstairs & 1 bed is downstairs- I had to get a second one because she was staying in the upstairs bed all the time- I do have a light blanket over the heater pad- you can feel the warmth through it- I unplug the downstairs at bedtime as we sleep upstairs- if I don't preheat the downstairs she goes back upstairs:) hope this helps

The unit is not that loud. A lot quieter than my old one. Quieter than an outside condenser for central air. I have not used it for a spa, but have had my pool up to 95 degrees on a cold night. ( pool 13,500 gallons )

My shop is directly under our sun room. We live in the sun room. My unit is mounted to the ceiling joist in the shop which are the floor joist for the sun room. The unit cannot be heard in the sun room. In the shop where I generally work within 6 feet of it, I run it on low speed most of the time. Low is OK. I'll go to high speed when I am sanding. I find medium and high too loud when I don't have other noise making devices running. Keep in mind that I am a person that does not like loud music. I do not have music playing in the shop.

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.

It isn't silent, but by no means would I describe it as noisy. Just a low hum. Have it in my small bedroom and no problem...and I don't like noise. Energy wise the only time my bill goes up is during air conditioning weather. I live in NY. I am going to buy another one for my other bedroom I like it that much.

Well, while not being quiet from perhaps 130 or so degrees on the way up to perhaps 195, it's not as bad as other kettles I've had. It gets quieter once you get up near 200 degrees as it cycles on and off (and I think also uses a lower power setting, but I have no way to confirm). Our kitchen is right next to our bedroom, and when I fire it up it never wakes up my wife. This is the person who can sometimes hear my music through my headphones from the other end of the house in the living room, perhaps 100 feet away. So your mileage may vary. Not as quiet as a kettle on the stove, but I can't set a kettle on the stove for oolong tea temp (185 degrees) for an hour without dire consequences. It works great for me.

Hi- I've never used a space heater in mine -- but thinking about it, I would use a very small one....

Pretty loud...just like my old one. I got it mainly for the 'not so hot' HIGH heat. It's good in this area. I just turned it on so I could give you a good answer...it's loud. I'm still looking for one that is less forceful and less loud. The low heat is not loud at all and does a good job. With my thin hair I don't have to use the high heat very long before turning it to low heat. I do like this unit better than my old one...the regular high voltage one. Hope this helps.

I think it would be pretty hard to have a completely silent heater, but this one is very good. If you don't have it turn from side to side, it is almost silent. This heater is NOT meant to heat a room, thus no blower. It is meant to heat whatever it is aimed at, LIKE YOU. I bought 4 of them last year, great gifts, and were appreciated.

Its honestly not as loud. Ive had this torch for about 3 months now, only thing to watch out for is to make sure the knob is COMPLETELY tightened otherwise the gas will leak out...found that out the hard way >.> but as for noise id put a plumbers torch at 8/10 and this torch a 5/10 for noise

Not the noisiest, but not the quietest. I didn't expect it to be super quiet but it gives off about the same amount of noise as any other space heater... Also there is a slight fan (sounding) noise when you have just the flames being displayed. I have mine recessed in the wall under my mounted LED TV in my living room and The sound of the unit is not that noticeable when watching a movie. Overall I love it and I would recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade the look of any room in their home or office. It adds the perfect touch of modern decor and elegance!

Hi, it's not super quiet, but it's not that loud either. If you let the cord drape on the handles of the unit it will make a louder noise. This unit is like the ones used by chiropractors. It works well, but you really need someone to rub your back with it. We really like ours.

We had an older unit (maybe 10-15 years) it was quite loud. This one is comparably quieter. It is not silent though; it does make noise. I am very happy w our unit... bought another for a different room. I give it (both Friedriches actually) 5 stars.
