Not sure - I have the 16" fan. It's not that quiet but I don't think loud enough to block out a barking dog. I would consider sound proof head set or simple ear plugs - that's what I use to block out my neighbors loud music. Good Luck.

No not a real loud fan noise, kinda a low sound with a very good wind flow, very powerful breeze. Don't believe it would drowned out trampling dog noise.

It is not esp. loud. While we have not used it on our dog we saw no reason it wouldn't do the job.

I would think so you can adjust the volume to really loud.. all sorts of fan sounds etc.. I have mine really low and blocks out TV etc.. from next room and barking dogs across the street..

I would not think it would be a good buy for your situation. This item emits a sound that the human ear does not hear, but animals DO....in your case, with your dog being closer than the neighbors, it would probably bother yours more than theirs...........

I haven't tried that but if you turn it up loud enough, it probably would. We have a neighbor with a barking dog and it drowns out the barking.

It is not loud at all. I use mine in the basement while my family is asleep. I use it to cut brass and it is about as loud as a box fan on high power. You should be fine.

Well no, there are enough settings to get it loud enough to be annoying but it's best for white noise use. Several different fan sounds to match like a box fan or circular fan. We use it to sleep and it's turned down to the low end and it drowns out tv downstairs.

Yes you will hear this fan, it's Not completely quiet. Of course the higher the speed the noisier.

It's actually pretty loud. I put it on a lagnyard so it hangs from my neck. I haven't actually used it to deter dogs (and hopefully won't have to) but am relatively confident it would work from a distance away.

The fan is very loud.. I replaced the fan with a whisper fan I had from an old computer.

Actually, it is a pretty quiet little fan--even on high. If you need a lot of ambient noise, I would look elsewhere. If you only need a little and you are able to position it close to your head when you sleep, it may work fine.

I would not want to try to carry on a conversation in the same room where the fan was running. We had it installed in a bedroom window at the far end of the house and it was still way too loud.Make sure you read the other reviews and see how many of these fans have failed in a very short time. The 'replacement' that was sent to us when the first one failed after just a couple months was even worse.

it shouldnt be very loud. my mother in law got it to help keep her place cool and she says it worked great. she would have said if had been noisy. the only downside is it burnt out fast from leaving it on all night.

It isn't a loud fan, but the sound is consistent enough to diffuse sounds from outside. My neighbors have naturally loud kids who bounce basket balls and a guy who saws boards for no reason for hours. My fan makes their noise tolerable. Sometimes I use two fans on opposite sides of a 16'x16' bedroom and I almost don't notice the sawing or if the toddler screams. During the middle of the night one fan is sufficient to prevent the train noise (1 mile away on flat terrain) from disturbing my sleep.

why would I purchase it if it doesn't stop dogs from barking whether it be neighbors or mine?

It's terribly loud. It's a great looking fan, but very annoying! Keep shopping unless you will be using the fan very little.

I have heard of people needing to change their settings because they where operating the neighbors fan so I don't see why you couldn't. Make sure you can return it and try it out.Good luck
