How quiet/noisy is this unit ? Thanks

The Heat Storm is quiet relative to many forced air heaters still it may disturb a light sleeper. The heat mode is a soft white noise but when the thermostat is satisfied the heater makes a switching noise and the fan seems to change speed.

Katherine , It Makes Less Noise Than My Old One! It's Still Fairly/Med Quiet. Kat

Admittedly, I have the smallest unit, but it is absolutely whisper-quiet. I can hear it a tiny bit if nothing else is on in the room. If anything, it's a tiny bit of white noise (which is a good thing at night, as it masks other noises).

I have it in an office waiting area setting. It does not seem to make much noise, its actually pretty quiet. Hope it helps

Not noisy at all, but ours is outdoors in a built in cabinet. In a house, I'm sure it would have a discernible hum, but not enough to call it noisy!

It is very quiet. It is much quieter than other small appliances. The impact on my energy bill is insignificant.

I consider the unit "relatively quiet". It has a tank so the compressor only works a small part of the time.

Yes it is quiet compared to other models I have had in the past. Works real well too!

This unit is very quiet. The only thing making noise in my installation is the permeate pump that I added to it. But even that doesn't bother me.

It is very quiet. you can barely hear the air flowing through the unit. We have this unit in a den and spend some time there with the kids and we hardly notice that it is on.

Perceived level of noise can be kind of subjective, but I don't find that it bothers me. It is not silent, but I have not turned on fans or wall AC units before due to noise and this one does not seem to interfere with my need of quiet.

It's quiet on 1 or 2. I haven't tried the other settings yet. I just bought mine. My husband and I are able to talk over it.

The unit is quiet. The equipment you'll be using will be louder. If you put a furnace filter in front of the unit it acts as a prefilter

This unit is fairly quiet. If you are doing audio editing without headphones then I think you might have an issue but otherwise I haven't noticed its volume while I am working.

Yeah, its pretty quiet. Mine's especially quiet lately, I really should get on it again. :)But to answer your question, I don't think it would be an irritant to the people below.

I'd say it's fairly noisy but it's the nice kind of white noise that helps me sleep. I don't even notice it. I work nights and appreciate the fan noise that comes from the unit while I'm trying to sleep as it blocks out a lot of the street noises.

Not bad. You can hear it running, but we also use it in an agricultural setting, so it is not very noticeable. All of these size refrigerators make about the same sound, I would say it is fairly quiet.
