Is it loud? Like, could I kind of hide that I'm using it in a somewhat quiet office? How much noise does it make when on? Thanks!

It is quite, no sound, on/off switch makes no different. It is safe to use n I sometimes forget to turn it off when I turn to bed. I have cold feet even in summer. I use it every day n thinking of to buy one more.

It is silent. I use it in an office. It is a great product. This was my second purchase, a gift for my sister.

It makes absolutely no noise. It just radiates heat. I couldn't recommend it more highly. Everyone in our office has one.

This heater doesn't make any noise at all. There is no hum or anything. It just gives off heat. I pretty much use it every day and I live in Georgia.

Yeah, its pretty quiet. Mine's especially quiet lately, I really should get on it again. :)But to answer your question, I don't think it would be an irritant to the people below.

It is loud. Very loud. But it works very well. And it's only on for a short while, so just put up with the noise.

I don't have much to compare it against, but I'd say its slightly loud, but not too bad. If it is completely silent, it's very noticeable, but otherwise, its not too bad.

It is not loud, but there is a little fan noise that goes along with it, so it is kind of a quiet white noise. Larger units may be a bit louder.

It is not silent and it is not noisy. You can easily hold a conversation while standing next to it. It is quieter than window air conditioners I've been around. If it is running next to the head of the bed while you are trying to sleep, there is no doubt you will know it is there. Will it annoy you? My wife is phonophobic and on low speed it didn't bother her: she described it as a white noise she could overlook.

I use it at work twice a day. It makes a thumping noise which I can hear, but I just had a co-worker step outside my cubicle & she couldn't hear it. I've talked to people on the phone a few times while it's been on & haven't heard any comments. Other than the thumping it's really very quiet.

Neither loud nor quiet. It's not as noisy as a Model M or as soft as a laptop keyboard. I think it is appropriate for shared offices (I use it in one).

Can you tell me how loud the noise is or if it makes any noise at all? I need a really quiet one that on one will be able to hear because I'll be using it at work and don't want to irritate my coworkers with a header or fan noise.

You can hear it when it is on but it's not really noisy. I would call it fairly quiet.

Not loud at all. I have it on the ceiling in my basement workshop, and I do not wear hearing protection. Even on highest speed it is quiet.

Its not loud at all - I have it in my living room where my TV is as well and it barely makes more than a bit of a very light hum when it's running (I use the auto setting so it kicks on periodically when it needs to and usually in a low mode although once in a while higher). I can barely just hear it when there is nothing on like a tv or radio and sometimes miss it all together if I am focused on what I am doing. Can't hear it at all with the TV on.

It's not quiet. I used a sound level meter to compare it to a couple other units and it's literally 10-20 times louder. The sound it makes is also particularly annoying.

Hi Brenda I use this keyboard at work. I tend to type with strong touch, so it's loud but I don't quite concern about it.(I can't type quiet that's more of my problem than keyboard )I think it not so loud if you type as most average users.Nick

It is not quiet per say but it isnt the loudest one I have had... I would not get it if you are trying to not let other hear you, if that makes sence.

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's not super quiet, but I don't think you can hear it through a closed door. I used it at work for a year in my closed office.
