In a very quiet room is the fan loud enough to be heard if under a desk?

Yes, absolutely it would be quieter. But not near as warm. I put this about 12" from my feet for 8 hours a day. I don't think it would do a dorm room any favors as far as heat is concerned.

I use mine in that manner and it's plenty quiet. No one has ever noticed it.

it is very quiet. I think it should be quiet enough. I forget it's on it's so quite.

If your desk is a computer desk, they would have no idea that you have a heater. This unit uses a small brushless 80mm fan. The most standard PC fan size! It is likely your computer already has one or more.It is very quiet and reliable.

It is very quiet, however does make a slight "blowing" sound, unless you were really listening for it, don't think it would be noticeable.

This fan isn't necessarily completely quiet but I wouldn't consider this fan on the noisy side either, so if you want a loud fan look elsewhere.

Sorry for the delayed answer. The fan is not at all loud. Definitely less noise than my full-sized HP.

On the low setting its barely audible. Even on the high setting its pretty quiet. MUCH MUCH quieter than a fan with "hard" blades.

Not as loud as a desk fan or similar. Run it in an apartment without much notice.

The fan is very quiet on our unit. I have it connected to our entertainment system in the living room and cannot hear the fan. It is sitting on hardwood floors.

I cannot hear the fan running, however, my hearing is not the best. My wife's hearing is good though and she says she doesn't hear it either.

The fan has a low "hum"...not real loud, but probably would be suitable for white noise.

It is very quiet. I've never noticed any noise and it sits on my desk in a quiet office.

I have not used it indoors but the fans are not loud at all. The sound definitely drowns it out. I ham still very happy with it, we have used it several times.. No complaints

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.

The noise level is based on how fast you set the fan. On the lowest setting it is pretty quiet. Even on the highest setting it isn't that loud.

Oh no. This sets on my desk in an open cube and it is very quiet. You'll be amazed. Hope this helps.

I use the fan literally on my desk, and it is quiet enough so that I'm not aware of it when I'm working (other than the breeze :-). Now that I'm listening for it, it does produce a soft "whooshing" noise. It's hard to hear if you're more than 5 feet away from it. I hope this helps you.

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

Yes it does have a fan and no it is not that quiet. This thing is pretty powerful and I have only seen it clip once. That was because I was running it hard through a cabinet that was not powerful enough for it. It didn't hurt it though. I went and bought another cabinet and it works fine. In a room that is really quiet or room that is small yes it can be heard.
