Is this fan actually quiet? I'm looking for a fan for my bedroom that won't be too loud at night during the summer when it's hot.

This is the most versatile fan I have used. SO many angles and positions. And, yes, it is very quiet. It is a fan so isn't completely silent. It depends on how high you turn it up. Bedroom? I think so. Good luck!

Yes this fan runs very quietly. We used this fan in our bedroom and had no problem. I think you will be pleased with this fan!

It's relatively quiet for a fan. Anytime you have fan blades moving air, you have a hum, of course, just from the friction with the air, but there is little to no motor sound. I find it quite steady and quiet.

I use this fan in my bedroom. It's pretty quiet. Plus it circulates the air nicely.

Yes it is, I have it by the head of my bed. Very disappointed that the oscillate didn't work for long. I really like the tilt feature.

On the lowest speed it is pretty quiet. But sound is a bit relative to each person.

The fan cools only as much as a fan would cool the air. It is not an air conditioner. But this fan is taller than most, so it does a much better job of cooling a room, in my opinion.And it absolutely is not noisy, as some reviews stated; also, the blue light doesn't 'light up the whole house' as others have said. We absolutely love this fan. Hopefully you will too.

Haven't had any problems with ours,,, right in our bedroom, very quiet. You might try checking to make sure it is installed securely, and not rattling on the window frame. Also check to be sure no packing material has fallen into where the fan is located.

Mine barely makes a sound unless its been running all day, and its really hot in my house. But even then. Its no louder than the little fan can be.

Johnny, I'm so glad you ask this question. I LOVE, LOVE,LOVE this fan. My husband is not a lover of fans because of the noise factor, but I love them because I can't sleep unless I'm cool and comfortable. This fan has made us BOTH happy. Even my husband ask me to turn it, or he will already have it on when I get in bed. The low setting is very low, so low I had to check to see if it was actually working. Of course the medium and high settings are a bit louder, but not horrible. Hope this answers your question. I WILL purchase Vornado products in the future.

I have this fan in my hallway and it is not a silent fan but for the air that it moves through my house I don't mind the noise. The more room you have above the fan the more silent it will be. I have about 4 feet above and this could be the noise but im OK with it. The air this fan moves is unbelievable. If i don't have a window or front door open when its on it will suck the ashes from my fire place down stairs,

No! On high setting, the fan is certainly noticeable in a quiet room whereas on low it is barely perceptible. But even high setting should not interfere with sleep for most people. My modern home furnace fan is louder than this heater on high setting. Low setting is barely perceptible. I was skeptical of this product when I first purchased a pair, and was even more critical upon arrival when they turned out to be much smaller than I expected. However, this little space heater has exceeded my expectations in output, circulation and economy. Regarding the fan, I wish it had a fan only option as they are quieter than the house fans I use in the summer to circulate air in my home. No!

It's a 4" fan, and it isn't completely quiet. It makes a sort of 'white noise' kind of thing. Not very problematic, unless you're looking for total silence. It is definitely not a problem for me, and I have it right next to me on a nightstand.

It is quiet .... I sleep with this fan on high every night and it doesn't bother me at all.

Hi Dawn, surprisingly it is quiet. My husband even noticed the difference between our old AC to this one. I didn't even buy it for that feature. Its low in sound and it doesn't keep me up. Have you tried a ceiling fan? They circulate the air well if sound is really a problem. But I do recommend it.

It's fairly quiet and makes a LOT of breeze. Great fan but I wouldn't purchase it as a sleep aid.

It's more like a very small fan. I'd say it is relatively quiet. It's not a rattling sound or anything. I usually use mine at night so it's ready by morning.

Not quiet at all on high. Medium is a little better. Low is O.K. for sleeping if you are use to fan noise. I had to put mine in the next room blowing into my bedroom cause I don't like fan noise. It does put out a lot of air, so once I settle into bed I feel the light breeze. If the noise isn't a bother and you want lots of air blowing right on you, you will love this fan. You can aim it at the ceiling and have that ceiling fan type breeze.

I'm not a heat person. The fan runs 24/7 to circulate air in my apartment. It definitely helps keep cool at night. It runs a little more noisy than others but pushes a lot of air.

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.

It really is surprisingly quiet especially on the lowest setting. I hardly notice it unless my ear is within a foot or so. I have it under my desk and don't even hear it at all, even on higher settings. It's the quietest fan amongst the 2 others my coworkers have.
