Is this really quiet? I want to put it in a room that also serves as a bedroom.

I wouldn't say that it's whisper quiet or anything, but its idle noise level is certainly quite reasonable.

It's not silent, but the net benefit of a room that I can now inhabit is worth putting up with a little noise. I use this in a room that is my designated home office and I spend a good four hours a day on the phone with this fan going in the background. It doesn't impede my ability to conduct business by telephone.

Unit has three different fan speed settings to help with noise. But my opinion is no, unit is not excessively loud. It is in my bedroom, I sleep with it on low.

Yes it is very quiet. We have one in our living area where we watch tv, in fact, that is where I am right now. Cool and no noise. Just ordered one for the bedroom.

It's actually very quiet...although in order to make it so I needed to wedge the power source between a small piece of wood and the wall so it didn't vibrate...after that; hardly any noise at all.

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.

It's not - very quiet - we do have it in the wall not a window so it may have a little more noise in a window but I wouldn't think it would be all that much since I really don't even know when it's on. Love the different controls on it - most of the time I just set it at what I want and just leave it.

I wouldn't call it loud but it is not quiet. It's not a big deal, it only makes noise when you use it. We check and adjust our bed maybe once a month or so. It maintains it's pressure quite well. Adjusting the pressure takes seconds.

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.

You probably won't hear it unless it's in your bedroom. It's like a small fan on low speed, maybe quieter.

I love this air conditioner but I would not consider it a very quiet machine. We have one in our family room and generally have to turn it off to enjoy TV.

Certainly not whisper quiet - but not offensively loud. It has two motors - one for the vent fan and one for the heater. Essentially similar in sound.

I think it would be a bit loud for being that close to recliners where you're obviously trying to relax. Unless, of course, you want major air. The solution I came up with for the TV room is this fan:http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000RMJANY/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?qid=1382477133&sr;=8-6π=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70Pretty darn quiet, works great, and the remote is actually useful. I liked it so much, I got a second one for the bedroom. Hope this helps.

It is very quiet. I don't like any noise when I sleep and sometimes I put this unit on my nightstand and it doesn't bother me. When it is in our family room I don't even notice that it is on.

Quiet is a subjective term :) but I would say yes. We have it in our bedroom and noise has not been an issue.

No, and no. It is very quiet. But this is a very small fan. It moves a nice amount of air for being so small. I needed one that would fit in a recess in the ceiling. It is perfect for where I needed to put it. I have this mounted where an old light fixture was. So, the old light switch is still there, though I don't usually use it. This switch should not affect whether or not it makes any noise. Only negatives: The light is NOT dimmable, and the housing is too small to insert a remote control. All my other fans are on remotes, which is very convenient

Mine definitely is not that loud. You could open it in bedroom and no one else would know. I would contact manufacturer. Got to be a way to change it.
