I am putting this fan in my den. How loud is the ceiling fan at high speeds? Is it unbearable or just noisy?

Mine is not even noisy, just a slight hum. Hint: If you have not purchased a remote control for your fan and you don't want hanging chains to control the light and the fan, you should get the remote before you install the fan. It is much easier to do the wiring of the remote transmitter (into the fan housing) before you install the fan on the ceiling.

The fan is pretty quiet. I have one each in my children's bedroom and they haven't complained about the noise. Have had it for almost a year now I think. They have used it during the winter too in the reverse to circulate the warm air.

It's a very noisy fan, even on #1. It moves lots of air, but makes too much noise for me. I'll try to control the speed of the motor sometime....

I use it in my garage. If I stop and focus on it, I can hear the fan, but 99% of the time I don't notice it. If you put it in a living space, the noise might be noticeable but it seems awful bright for a living space.

I don't know the exact noise level, scientifically speaking, but I find it loud enough to be quite disruptive.The level of noise it makes is the main reason I am currently replacing it. I'm tired of yelling over this thing. Also, since it doesn't have an energy save mode, the fan stays on even when it's not cooling, so the loudness is constant.

It's not bad at the low fan setting. Very noisy at high level though and if you forget to turn it off and sit down to eat with it on you will quickly get up and turn it off.

I just put the fan on, maximum. The noise is not loud at all. U can barely notice it. I bought around 2 other fans at the same time this is by far the best fan. It looks better than picture does it justice and its not noisy at all.

FYI, I have two of these fans and the one in my master bedroom started to have problems. during the recent heatwave, I had the fan running on high speed. after a while it started getting louder and would turn off randomly. I would turn the light switch off, wait a minute and then turn it back on. I really like the fan but honestly, next time I buy ceiling fans, I'm going to get a better brand.

Unit has three different fan speed settings to help with noise. But my opinion is no, unit is not excessively loud. It is in my bedroom, I sleep with it on low.

Can't offer a comparison to other fans, but there must be quieter ones out there because this one does make a lot of noise. You can clearly hear it from both inside the house and outside. It is significantly louder than the 20 yr. old fan it replaced, but I have a feeling it also has a higher rated capacity, because it does seem to move a lot of air. The only encouragement I can offer is that if you set the thermostat high enough, you could get it to turn itself off in the evening. Don't know what temp. that might be in your area: mine is set at about 105. Good luck.

I like oscillating fan better. Also this fan is very noisy at higher speed.

This fan generates 'alot' of air, therefore it is not super quiet on the lowest setting. I have a separate, less durable & less noisy fan for the bedroom; in my opinion, the 'low' setting on the Lasko would be comparable to a 'medium' setting on most household fans. Hope this helps.......

Certainly not going to be as quiet as a ceiling fan. But you hear more of the rushing air versus motor noise. We have had this in the hall with kids asleep and it's a nice white noise for them. I would only use this for drying carpet after cleaning or flooding.

It's not that loud even on high. You could drill a small defect into a fan blade to make it louder but you cannot guarantee the noise type you get.

I have not used it indoors but the fans are not loud at all. The sound definitely drowns it out. I ham still very happy with it, we have used it several times.. No complaints

Not noisy..but fan cuts off and on every 30 seconds.. does anyone know if this is normal? Only had for 2 months.. It has always done this.

As far as actual decibel level, I couldn't give you an exact figure but I can assure you that it is one of the quietest fans I have. I actually wish it were just a tad louder because I sleep with a fan that drowns out noise that may wake me. On high, you can hear it, but nothing like your typical house fan or oscillating fan. I hope this helps.
