I would definitely look for quieter fan. Scale of 1-10 . 10 being loudest. This fan would be a 7. You can insulate it and make it quieter. There is some really quiet fans out there. Most people use these in attics or in an insulated box. Google it and there is alot of info out there.

That's a hard question to answer since loudness is a perception of the person. I use this fan in a room in my basement which is over my bedroom. Yes, I do hear it through the floor but it is not loud enough to bother music or television. Now, if you are going to be in the same room then, yes, I would say that it is loud enough to hinder listening to music or television.

This fan is as loud as an air conditioner set on high, if you can sleep through that you'll be fine.

Vortex fans are the best. Fo a google search for best price. Super quiet and last forever

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.

It is about as "loud" as my desktop computer. All you hear is a slight "breeze" coming from the motor's fan. It isn't bothersome at all.

The fan is very quite on the low setting. I can have it in a meeting room without distrubing anyone. When you get to the faster settings, it does get louder. It is very handy.

Haven't had any problems with ours,,, right in our bedroom, very quiet. You might try checking to make sure it is installed securely, and not rattling on the window frame. Also check to be sure no packing material has fallen into where the fan is located.

Sounds as quiet as a normal floor fan - Have mine right over my bed and doesn't bother me at all

It is pretty loud-but that is one reason I bought it-I use it in my bedroom for ambient noise while I fall asleep (also to keep cool)!

Probably too noisy for routine use that close to conversation, TV, etc. Ours is about 20 ft down a hall and that's OK. Hard to make a fan that is quiet and still puts out the volume that this one does -- you can feel the breeze from it 30+ ft away!

I would not want to try to carry on a conversation in the same room where the fan was running. We had it installed in a bedroom window at the far end of the house and it was still way too loud.Make sure you read the other reviews and see how many of these fans have failed in a very short time. The 'replacement' that was sent to us when the first one failed after just a couple months was even worse.

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.

This fan isn't necessarily completely quiet but I wouldn't consider this fan on the noisy side either, so if you want a loud fan look elsewhere.

Mine definitely is not that loud. You could open it in bedroom and no one else would know. I would contact manufacturer. Got to be a way to change it.

It's not noisy but not perfectly quiet. Just a low humming sound. I have used it in my bedroom and it did not keep my awake but some people are more sensitive to sounds than others.

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.

Its loud enough for me to sleep... but I'm not sure I'd label it as 'Very Loud'. We can watch tv with it on and only have to turn in up a couple more notches if that tells you anything.

Are you referring to the amount of noise it makes when its running? My unit is in storage for the winter, so I cannot measure for you, but I can attest that it is no louder than the average window unit.

Yes it is quiet, you will be pleased with this fan. We use it in the bedroom.
