how "loud" is this fan?

Very subjective, but I'd say it's closer to the "virtually silent" end rather than "really noisy."It's not loud at all.

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

It really is surprisingly quiet especially on the lowest setting. I hardly notice it unless my ear is within a foot or so. I have it under my desk and don't even hear it at all, even on higher settings. It's the quietest fan amongst the 2 others my coworkers have.

I don't think it's noisy at all. The only noticeable sound I can recall of comes from the fan, still quite discrete.

That's a personal assessment. It is no louder than window air conditioners I've had in my own bedrooms. It's quieter than many wall air conditioners in motels.

It's not very loud. I sleep with the ceiling fan on and this thing too, and sometimes I can't tell if it's on. The fan is basically what you would find in a computer tower so the noise is minimal. A slight humm if anything

I suppose your sensitivity to noises would determine whether this fan would be considered quiet or not to you. I would call it moderately quiet on high speed and quite quiet on lower speeds. I keep it on medium speed and the small amount of noise it puts out is not at all disturbing and the fan is located in a bedroom. It is used only in the Summer to boost air conditioning. The unit is turned up-side-down so that it throws air up. it works perfectly well that way and still responds to the remote control as it should.

It's more like a very small fan. I'd say it is relatively quiet. It's not a rattling sound or anything. I usually use mine at night so it's ready by morning.

The fan is very loud.. I replaced the fan with a whisper fan I had from an old computer.

Not noisy. Of course, it is a heavy duty, thus you will hear a humming from the air flow. Excellent fan.

It's probably about as quiet as a box fan but in general, this fan is not quiet. I find the lowest setting to push too much air and is too noisy.

It is pretty quiet. It sounds like a quiet fan blowing. Nothing more than that.

It can get pretty loud. We turn it up higher during the day when our 6 year old and dogs are running around the house and lower when we are all asleep at night. Either way, you can hear the sound machine on the baby monitor and I would definitely say it is louder than a high powered fan.

This fan moves a Lot of air, so it is fairly loud. I expected it to be a little more quiet given the listed decibel ratings, but I am completely happy with it due to the air movement.

Yes, this fan is plenty loud. I bought it because I like noise when I sleep. It fills that purpose.

On the lower setting the fan is reasonable for an office (mine is used at work). It would be noticed only as white noise in my opinion. On high it is louder.

Not loud at all. The machine is not a real great air filtering wonder. Air volume is low. Fan needs higher speed. I wouldn't buy it again.
