How noisy is the flap? The door may be in our bedroom, and a noisy flap may kill the deal.

The noise has not been a problem at all. Yes, you can hear it but it's barely noticeable (rubber rubbing rubber).

It does make some noise asit is a three piece door with rubber flaps to seal around the edges. I will deal with the noise for the tight seal.

not noisy at all, just a flip/flap and it shuts, made of rubber sealing around door

Well, depending on how light of a sleeper you are... It definitely makes noise. It's not very loud, but you hear a click click click as the door swings and the magnets connect. (We have a medium sized door - not sure if a larger door would make a louder noise.)

Well, it does make some noise as the flap hits the seal around the swinging door. The flap is 3 pieces of thick plastic and to create a good seal for insulation purposes it has to rub against the seal. If you need something very quiet you can cut off the part that is making the noise but I do recommend this product as it is well made and matches our sliding glass door perfectly.

The door is heavy and it does make a slap sound however I have 14 month old twin boys that wake up to everything! And this doesn't bother them at all. Hope this helps.

Probably. Its just essentially thick rubber that you can easily shape and stick on. I would imagine that the gaps around the door would probably let most of the noise out so you'd have to figure out a solution to that. Assume you're going to apply the stuff to the inside of the door. Should help some.

When I installed mine, there was terrible wind flapping noise at highway speed. In order to fix this, I had to cut off the rubber flap at the front of the bed cover (near the back window). Since I have done that, it is perfect.

The door flap is virtually silent - a slight thump can be heard as the magnets align - hardly noticeable. A separate note: the door must b absolutely square when installed or it may not fully close, leaving a slight gap. Not a problem for bedroom door, but for an outside exit can loose AC or Heat.

It's noisy. It vibrated a lot. I live in an apartment and I didn't want to disturb the neighbors. Now this thing lives in my closet.

Our toy is not in the same room as the bedroom so it hasn't been a noise issue-it does make some sound but is not really loud.Hope that helps-

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.

No, its not noisy. but you can hear it, its a soft sound maybe like a small fan, its not an annoying sound.

No- it is very quiet. It is not very large. Flap is not weighted down. At least mine isn't. My cats love it!

Danielle's answer is spot on. There is a "clicking" sound as the magnets realign, but it's minimal. I don't hear it from my bedroom when sleeping, but I do hear it when I'm closer to it. It does not "flap about" though, so it's not bothersome. It is a very good purchase for a simple, well designed product.

Yes its loud, but not to the point where it could get annoying. If you keep the bathroom door shut no one should here you.

It is not real loud but is not quite. Our bedroom is right off the kitchen and we do not hear it. I will tell you it works great.

We can hear it in the kitchen with the den door closed..it's sort of a light pop, pop, pop sound...it would depend on how you hit it if it would be a problem

its very quiet. if you put your ear up to it... you hear a slight and continuous buzz. so, in an otherwise silent bedroom, it might be noticeable and irritating until you tune it out (if you can)... but all conventional outside and most conventional inside applications it will be unnoticeable.

It was loud. I had to put it in a separate room and close the door. My sister's little plastic stayed on the kitchen counter, and its sounds wasn't noticeable.

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.

This is a great little refrigerator. Your question made me stop and think. I don't remember ever noticing any noise from it at all. It certainly isn't loud. I think you'd be ok in a dorm room.
