From 1 comment - "it is quiet enough", How quiet is "quiet enough"? I hate noisy appliances, but my hammered dulcimer need more moisture.

When it runs it sounds like a fan. In my opinion it's not too noisy but we keep it in our living room so I'm not sure if it would be too loud to sleep at night. It works very well.

At the fan's lowest setting it's just a whisper. At its highest it sounds like a jet taking off. We have 2300 sq feet and it will keep moisture at 40% at the lowest setting, generally. The only time the fan goes up to high (on auto) is if we petit run out of water or crank it up to 50+.

The one I had before this one was definitely annoying. This one's fan sounds gentle. When on automatic it will occassionally kick up to high and back down but even that is smooth. You can tell volume increased a bit but it's not bothersome at all. This one I could sleep through in the same room on one of the two lower speeds. However, it doesn't need to be in the same room to take care of the whole house.

Having been surrounded by loud dryers at show I have found this one to be fairly quiet. I have read many reviews about it being loud but compared to many, many others I have been around it is NOT loud. My Golden actually likes this better than my personal hairdryer. Hope that helps. I really have been impressed with the quality of this little dryer.

I don't think it is very quiet, making a sort of chugging/humming sound. I'm noise sensitive, so it would bother me if someone was near me while they were using it. If you were in another room, I don't think it could be heard, however.

Yikes, sorry to hear that. I guess it's all relative. It's loud without being abrasive. I have decent hearing, so I liked that it gradually increases (over about 15-30 seconds) so I can usually turn it off before it gets too loud. I have used it in two different apartments and can always hear it, even while in the shower. But it typically doesn't seem to stir my sleeping fiancé, who is a very heavy sleeper. Hope this helps.

What has Watts got to do with this? I was seeking "quiet". I had a dryer that was labeled and was quiet. When I wanted to get a new dryer, I sought the quietest dryer I could find and one that was endorsed by those who had purchased the same dryer. I did buy it and it was the quietest dryer. Both dryers, regardless of wattage, dry hair the same and there is no noticeable difference, and they are both quiet, the newest one the more quiet than the older one. And that's why I bought "this one".

I find mine to be fairly quiet, but it can depend on the size of blade or the type of wood being cut and how thick it is. I have no problem with noise and not to mention if the saw is not bolted down it could be loud also. I never bolt mine down and I find it to be quiet. Not too loud but then I'm a bit deaf too... Thanks Fay

It is not very noisy. I have owned several dehumidifiers and it is the quietest one i have had

I totally understand your concerns about noise. I bought 3 and one of them does make noise. The other two are silent. However the one that does make noise is still quieter than other brands I have.

this is the only unit i have ever had so it is hard for me to say. it is not loud, but you can tell it is on. the higher the setting the louder it is, but it is not annoyingly loud. sorry i could not be more helpful!

Hi. I haven't installed it yet. But as soon as I do, I'll let you know. I'm hoping it is quieter. It may be another couple of weeks (mid-August) before I get it installed. Thanks! Stay tuned.

The sounds between cycles on my machine are barely audible. Therefore, I don't find it annoying. Any annoyance is worth a good loaf of homemade bread!!!!

It's very quiet. If it's cranked slowly it should be nearly silent. It won't bother anyone.

I have it in my kitchen on the counter. I do not find it to be too loud it does make some noise. It doesn't bother me in the least. If you are looking for ultra quiet something you won't notice this isn't it. However, it does perform wonderfully and the ice it "clear"

It isn't quiet, but it isn't as loud as my dishwasher. Maybe about the same as a fan above your stove (not one of those Whisper quiet fans).

We are using it in a salon atmosphere where blow dryers are going throughout the day, so I had not noticed if there was much "noise" coming from the unit. Also, we keep it in the back of the salon where it is coolest in the winter. It doesn't appear to be loud but yes, I can hear it blowing when I am close by. Being I'm not in a quiet environment I'm not sure this answer is going to be much help. Have a nice day.

Hi, It really depends if the noise bothers you or not. In terms of mini fridges it is on the noisy side, however it never actually bothered me and it's in my bedroom. A friend of mine complained once when sleeping right next to it so I muffled it by putting an unused bedsheet in between the fridge and the wall. So bottom line, it makes noise when running its cycles every so often, but it's by far not unbearable and it can be muffled

I've found it to be quiet. It's not noisless but the sound is more of a smooth hum than anything halting or harsh. The actual volume of the sound is pretty low.
