A couple of ?'s. Does this unit leave a white power all over, and how noisy is it?

Yes it does leave white powder on everything. It is not super loud but I have had quieter humidifiers.

This unit does not leave a white powder or a residue all over. It is also whisper quite even on the highest humidity and heat settings.

Mine leaves no white powered(thing that has to do with the water used in it) and make almost no sound.

No white powder at all, and it is not noisy at all it does leak a little I have to put a towel under it to catch the extra water that drips off of it. Not the best but its pretty ok.

If you have hard water (high mineral content) they all leave a white residue--it's the result of the water evaporating leaving the calcium carbonate and other minerals in the water. The exception is units built into a HVAC system that only evaporate part of the water and wastes the remainder. I have soft water, but eventually there is a minor amount of residue present. I don't notice it on the floors or surrounding areas, but I've cleaned the top of the two units I have once in three or four years. The units are very quiet. I hope this helps.

We have had this unit for several months, (in our kitchen), and I have never heard the unit run. I've heard the question asked before, but we have not had any issues with noise or otherwise. Very happy with our purchase...

Quite a bit quieter than my old one. On the high setting you can still hear it, but I generally use the middle setting and it is much more efficient and WAY quieter. Remember you are getting about 80% of the flow for 50% of the electricity, and about half the noise.

Mine is noisy, but kind of a white noise. If I had it in the bedroom, it would not bother me, but I like that type of noise to be able to cover for other random noises from outside. It is most definitely NOT a quiet unit, though.

The unit does not need power. It plugs directly into the midi port of a peavy vip vypyr amp. It does not make or cause any noise. Nice device.

I am hearing the motor too along with the white noise... I wonder if it's normal or if my unit has a defect.

when it is on blue (the lowest level) you cannot even hear it. When it is purple (second level) it is a low quiet hum of "white noise." When it is on the highest level you can definitely hear it, but it isn't particularly annoying. I keep it on automatic, so it will cycle up to purple or red if it needs too, but literally 90-95% of the time it is on blue and I forget it is there.

I didn't notice any unusual Buzz when I first powered up the unit in my shop. My opinion is is the noise level is normal....

White noise. On the low setting it is very quiet. Never felt overwhelmed by noise. No trouble sleeping or watching TV with it on.

I have never noticed any fan noise coming from the unit. I believe the unit will power a refrigerator depending on the size of the refrigerator, W hen I had a question about my unit i just telephoned the company and talked to a technician.

The units lights are a big part of the problem, turn the lights off and the " whine " goes away. As far as " white noise ", rack mount it, grounding it, then using a power line conditioner w " quality " preferably gold plated cables for the optimum sound. Shouldnt need all this, but unless your outside, your gonna want at the very least a power line conditioner with quality cables. Ive reduced the noise you speak of by a good 75%, if not 80%. Good luck :)

There is an audible click sound when the unit powers on/off, I don't know that I would call it loud, but that's my opinion

Mine isn't silent, but isn't horrible. Sounds like an issue to bring up with manufacturer. They might replace the unit.

There is a slight white noise when the amp is turned all the way up. I compared it against just having my phone plugged in directly to the amp and this receiver was a bit louder than that white noise, but not much. It could be related to the cheap USB power I purchased to power this device - it comes with a USB cable, but no wall adapter.

Depends, two out of 3 that i bought have white noise, the 3rd one hardly makes any noise.

Has a power cord that plugs into AC wall outlet. You will hear them running when you are in the room. Not excessively loud, but noticeable. It doesn't bother us. We sleep with a fan at night and white noise is our friend. If you need complete silence, these are not for you :)
