I just put the fan on, maximum. The noise is not loud at all. U can barely notice it. I bought around 2 other fans at the same time this is by far the best fan. It looks better than picture does it justice and its not noisy at all.

Not noisy at all, but ours is outdoors in a built in cabinet. In a house, I'm sure it would have a discernible hum, but not enough to call it noisy!

This is a very high quality, quiet unit but you can hear the fan running at times. We actually have it in our pantry, so, we don't notice it, but I believe if you had it in a small kitchen, you would hear a low hum.

The fan is located along the rear wall of the unit. The noise level is quieter than most of our stainless steel competitors we tested against. We have noticed that some of the plastic units may be slightly quieter, but by design they are less efficient at removing moisture. Honestly, to the average ear, it wouldn't even be noticeable :) The best way I can describe it is as a low hum.

Hi Christopher, I rarely write a review for any product but felt compelled to write one for this particular fan. I installed it in my master bedroom and while I love the look of the fan...........I cannot recommend this fan for function. My fan is mounted directly over my bed and at full speed I really can't feel much air flow. At lower speeds it make enough clicking and other noises it will keep me awake. When I am finished with my current home remodels I will be replacing this fan ASAP. Sorry for the bad report.

Yes- It's probably normal not a defect. I've had similar appliances in the past and they all make a hum.

While the noise of this de-humidifier is not invasive or overly loud, it is noticeable. Mine is down in the basement, so is not bothersome. If you place it near a bedroom, it could be a distraction, but I have owned different models of them down through the years, and I don't believe it to be any louder than the others, and just might be a touch more quiet.

The fan does make noise - it's not a silent runner. We use it in the basement as well.

Sometimes this problem can be fixed by switching two blades opposite each other. My fan only makes a slight humming sound on low speed which is normal and does not wobble. The only other suggestion I have for you is to make sure all the screws are tight. If they are not, this could be the solution to your problem. Hope this helps!

Ours makes a small cyclic hum. You can hear it. It doesn't bother me, but everyone has different tolerances.

No there is not a detectable pattern to the noise it is just a steady hum like having a fan in the room. That is is the closest comparison I can think of. If you have any further questions don't hesitate getting back to me.

Yes, these units have a rather strong humming sound when the power is going to the lights. Mine is mounted outside and not near any open window, so it is no bother. If yours is making noise through the wall, you might want to put some soft foam between the unit and the wall to isolate the vibration.

I have had the biocube 14 running in my living room for almost 2 years now and I don't think i have ever noticed the sound of the fan. It is possible yours is rattling in place or you have a faulty fan? If it is actually loud I would contact the manufacturer.

It is REALLY noisy, seriously I will be returning mine because of that. I had bought for my bedroom but this is unbearable, even the lowest speed generates so much more noise than my old AC on the max speed.

I am getting the same thing. It is a buzzing/loud humming noise. Anybody know if this is a defect or if something else can be creating this?

I have a unit which makes a noise like a normal fan would make. It does not make loud unexpected noise. There is a compressor unit in it like the one freeze and that has its own noise Apart from that I am not sure what kind of noise you are getting. Thanks
