IS this unit loud when running?

No louder than a regular window unit. We used it in a small pop up camper and it wasn't terribly loud

I don't think it's loud at all. I've had it running 24/7 in my bedroom since I got it and it's pretty quiet. It's about the same noise as a window a/c or quieter. Hope that helps!

it's kind of loud yes. I wouldn't want to sleep with it. But it's great for an office. I have it in my small office for 2-3 years and have never had a problem with it. Best thing about it is that it never needs to be (water)emptied. Most of the time it doesn't bother me but occasionally I turn it off when on an important call and want 'quiet'.

Compared to what? You will certainly hear it running. It is louder than a ceiling fan. It doesn't keep me awake, though, and I am right smack next to it at night, so I can hog all the cold air.

It's def louder than a portable generator. If you start it up and don't hear it, you better go check on it. Having said that tho, I don't mean to say that it is distractingly noisy, just that you're going to hear it running.

I'm not sure if it's considered "loud" compared to other units, but it's not a quiet model. It does work very well and a great item for the price.

On the two highest settings it can be loud.Easy solution is to turn the unit on either the highest setting or Auto about an hour prior to going into the room.At that point you can put it on the first or second settings overnight and it shouldn't disturb you.I leave it on Auto and sometimes it will cycle into high while I'm sleeping but that no longer bothers me.Effective machine the easier breathing makes the noise issue tolerable.

Yes, and it is not noisy but the unit worked for only a very short time and is of poor quality. Company would not help. I would never buy it again.

Mine isn't loud, I was able to leave it running in the kitchen and hear the tv in that room without turning it up.

Yes it is. It has moments when the condenser may run and you might hear a slight noise, but by and large, this is a very quiet unit.

It makes noise when running. Whether its to little or to much is a matter of opinion.

I bought that one for my mom several years back and it was loud to begin with. Still running fine though!

I would not call it noisy but you can hear it run. The compressor makes a soft noise while running and every 6 minutes you hear the ice dropping in the basket. Nothing about the noise it makes is excessive in my opinion.

Yes very quietly ... A little click when it shuts off. You can't hear any noise when it's running .

No, not to loud. However, that question is rather subjective. The air tools we use seem to be louder than the compressor.

Yes, I find it fairly loud. On my machine, anyway, which is older and ready to be replaced because it leaks.

Yes, extremely loud. The noise made from this unit literally hurt my ears. We will not be using it this summer; I told my husband to take it to his office. Hope this helps. If you do find a quiet unit, please let me know!

You can hear the fan when its running, but I don't think it is loud. I put on music when I was using it and I wasn't bothered by the sound of the fan.

Yes. It is pretty loud. I drive a heavy machine at work and can hear it over the engine when not accelerating.

Well, it is louder than our dishwasher but we have a super quite one. It doesn't bother us, sound about the noise level of a humidifier, small fan heater running.
