How noisy is this fan? wanting to put in my living room, it would be about 10ft from our recliners... is it too noisy for being that close?

I think it would be a bit loud for being that close to recliners where you're obviously trying to relax. Unless, of course, you want major air. The solution I came up with for the TV room is this fan:

On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the loudest I'll say a low 6 but 7 on the highest speed. Overall not overbearing

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!

not too noisy at all.. It runs all night long in the bedroom.. soothing if anything!

It a good fan. I sit about 10 feet from it and you can hear it but it's quite bearable. You are aware when it's running and you might even have to turn the volume up on your tv a little. I agree with the other reviewer who said it's a 6 or 7 out of 10.

I liked it so much, I got a second one for the bedroom. Hope this helps.

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.

It is pretty loud, but it moves a ton of air! I use it in my workout room and the noise is fine. If you plan on using it near a TV or while sleeping, it might be a little too loud.

it shouldnt be very loud. my mother in law got it to help keep her place cool and she says it worked great. she would have said if had been noisy. the only downside is it burnt out fast from leaving it on all night.

I just put it in my 2 year old's room. It's not without noise. Its an ac. However, imo it's a little quiter then the AC in our bedroom. Can u hear this ac , absolutely. Is it quiter then others, I think def think so. I would reccomend buying it.

Depends what your noise tolerance is. If it's not very high then I would suggest using the low setting. I sleep with it in the opposite corner of the room, about 9 ft away and it's still moderately noisy. However, I bought it for that very reason because it drones out other outside noise.

I think the instructions say 8 to 10 ft away from the living area but no noise at all.

It isn't a whoosh or a whine, it is more like a breeze. It is slightly louder than the PC fan. Mine is in the main part of my living space, and I don't really hear it unless I am trying to.

I have mine in my office and I do not have any problems with it being noisy. Maybe the others don't have it balanced right, or the back is too close to the wall. But mine is very quiet. I hope this helps.

Hello Jerseyboy.The fan is a tiny bit noisy, as in you can definitely hear it. But its really hardly noticeable. The only time I notice the fan is when I first turn it on. but after the sound kicks in, you hafto struggle pretty hard to hear it. J. FisherReplicasUSA

It is the quietest fan I own. Very quiet. I have it clipped to the headboard on my bed. If my pillow is pushed up tight against the headboard I can hear the vibration of the fan motor. As long as there is a space between the pillow and the headboard I can't hear it. Aside from that, it makes a quiet humming sound that relaxes me when I want to go to sleep. Mind you I have it just inches away from my head. I would imagine that if you were six feet away you wouldn't hear it at all.

I had no problem with noise from the unit. Even slept with it in a small bedroom and was surprised I didn't notice it after a short while. It is rated for 800 square ft. which meant I had to move it around until the problem resolved, but that was my fault for not paying attention to the details. Otherwise very pleased with the product. Hope this helps.

It's not whisper quiet. I have it in my living room and am able to hear it in my bedroom with the door open (not a huge house). We run it off and on throughout the day and continuously through the night. It doesn't make an annoying noise but it would say it is as loud as a box fan.

Personally, I don't find it to be too noisy. It's considerably less noisy than my compressor. It's just like a whirring/windy sound from a couple of fans spinning. But you might check with the manufacturer for the decibel rating for a less subjective appraisal.

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

Actually, it is a pretty quiet little fan--even on high. If you need a lot of ambient noise, I would look elsewhere. If you only need a little and you are able to position it close to your head when you sleep, it may work fine.

I have it about 18 inches from my head on the highest setting and it is whisper quiet. My only complaint about this fan is that it does not move a lot of air, not enough for cooling me.
