Is this too loud to be in the same room with your workstation? Any numbers on the switch volume?

It's noticeable, but not loud.(except when it first powers up for about 60 secs). I keep mine in a seperate room, because my other gear is silent compared to it, but it's not nearly as loud as a hp or cisco server.

The sound level may be too high if you are working in a cube environment. It would be fine in an office with a closed door. I love this product. I hope it works for you too.

Too powerful for my bedroom. Mine is mounted in garage. Can be wired to switch no problem

The fans are the loudest thing coming from my rack. This is at home so the noise is a bit much (ignorable). I also have wood floors so the sound travels a bit. I'm actually here looking for quiet replacement fans. I can't find the size anywhere. This unit would not be too loud for a standard business server room.

Not loud at all compared to some of the other brands of switches I've used. If it is in a rack with passively cooled devices, you will hear it, but it is not loud or obnoxious.

My apologies - this was purchased for a client so I've never heard the sound on it. I believe he is using it in a small room so the sound may be ok in that type of environment.

Not really, I have it at my desk and it gives off a light pishhh noise but I doubt others would hear it.

I don't know what you asking. Its more like an unfinished statement. Even at low speed it can still be heard and I only use one of the two fans. Two of them running together set up an un harmonious noise. I would not want them in the TV or theater room.

I use mine in my basement while I am working in the same room. It is not noisy in my opinion. I doubt anyone could hear it through a wall. Set it on a piece of short napped indoor/outdoor carpet or something.

Not exactly.. but on a scale from 1 to 10... 1 being cant hear it all.. and 10 being can't concentrate at the same desk with it going.. It's about a 2... this is a very quiet fan in my opinion..

I have it in a very small office and the only noise you hear is a small clink noise when it starts and stops. otherwise it is very quiet. alot quieter than my large frige at home.

Hi, Sorry about my delayed response. I ordered this fridge for a student lounge area, so I'm not sure if the noise it makes in there would be bothersome in an office setting. Dave

Works fine for me in a single room 14X22; but, I have no competing noise. I believe it would be on the light side for what you want... But the price is good enough, so give it a try.

Yes it is, I really enjoy mine at work. loud enough with descent sound, but doesn't bother any one else.

It's loud enough that I wouldn't put it in an open space where people are working. With the door shut on our server closet, I can still hear it a little bit (I sit about 20' from it) because of the vent duct between the office and the closet.

I have my unit downstairs. I can hear mine upstairs in my office with the door shut. Plenty loud for me.

It is still fairly loud. The lower setting isn't too loud but if you really want to move things, you'll probably need it on the higher setting and it's noticeably louder.
