Is it me or is this thing loud? Just set it up and there is a fan sound that is killing me.

Mine is extremely quiet! I did go into the settings (via the browser) and set it on quite mode to achieve this level of quietness.

I hadn't particularly noticed the fan. It's next to my work station and not particularly bothersome. It comes on during warm-up and shuts down soon after. I have a Brother multi-function printer that is much louder (and slooooooower). You might want to have it checked at a Brother service center (see their website for locations).

Yes, it is very loud when you print; otherwise it seems quiet. I actually like the printer, but I hate the runaround from the service dept., when they sold me a defective cartridge and won't do anything about it.

It's pretty loud when it's printing but once it goes back into standby mine's pretty quiet. Sometimes startles me when it starts to print though - it's pretty loud then!

Never noticed a fan problem. I can hear it, but it's quite minimal (and I'm sensitive to noise).

My inline Panasonic 30NLF1 exhaust fan is extremely low noise. I have to strain to hear it. I should have added a small light to show when it is on.Buy the highest CFM you can afford.

Mine does make a very slight fan sound. Only noticeable if it is very quiet.

Depends where you mount it. Ours is in the joists in the basement so it does make more noise than if in an upper floor. Just insert some foam between the fan sides and whatever you are attaching it too. It is a fan and you will hear it.

Just bought mine today and turned it on 4 - experiencing a similar problem: Every several minutes the fan will decrease for a second and then go back to normal. It's almost like a power issue, but I don't notice lights dimming or anything else other than the fan noise for that second...

I have this unit and the only time I've noticed the fan running is when it goes through a periodic self-test, then you can hear the fan kick in. I just got down and put my ear aside the fan vent and could hear a fan but very low volume. My tower is near and the fans in there are much louder, and they are "quiet" fans.

No.No.No.My fan makes an irritating noise on high speed that sounds like a howling wind. It is on now and I use # 2 selectionand its not doing that and I think the vibration comes from the "honeywell" button on the front.

One other comment to add. I read where one person said it was loud. Mine is relatively quiet...much quieter than an up right.

No. It sounds as if you have an installation problem. I have a remote on this fan and it works fine. There is no unwelcome noise.

"Very loud"? I owned two of these after trying out three different brands/models in the last five years, and both were average noise level of a desktop computer fan. I would say if the noise you're hearing resembles something louder than a desktop computer running, then some thing is up. Good luck!

I cannot hear the fan running, however, my hearing is not the best. My wife's hearing is good though and she says she doesn't hear it either.

Hi it hums a little and it gets louder when you change the fan speed. If it was to loud I would not be able to sleep with the noise.

i have the same problem as well, the fan is really noisy when in the mode of battery saving!

Define "really loud." Mine makes a noticeable noise throughout its entire on-cycle, but it is slightly louder on start-up. If I had to compare the running noise, though, I'd say slightly above desktop fan and slightly below window fan. It's not "whisper-quiet," that's for sure. But, the 'white noise' effect is somewhat soothing, I find. That's just me, though. I hope this helps!

It's not quiet. I used a sound level meter to compare it to a couple other units and it's literally 10-20 times louder. The sound it makes is also particularly annoying.

Mine does this too, I was told that the fan is turning on and for some reason it is surging. It only does this when in standby mode, does yours do it when in use as well or just stand by?
