The heater is very quiet. The Holmes heater I have is about 8 or 9 years old and still going. You can hear the fan but just barely. I highly recommend it. It keeps my bathroom toasty warm.

It is a little loud but not nearly as bad as some other heaters that I had in the past. I have to put the tv up a bit but I have no problem sleeping with it on.

The heater is not "whisper quiet" but for me the noise level is acceptable.

It is noisy like a small fan is noisy. Not sure why other people say it is quiet, because the heater I bought (and later returned) produced noise like a fan. It has a blower within the heater that pushes out the warm air. If you use it at night and you are accustomed to using a fan, the noise might not bother you. But, the orange light is really bright at night. My recommendation is to go to any local store that has a good return policy, buy a similar heater and try it for a few days. Then, you can return it if you like.

It is not completely quiet but really, no louder than a fan. I love this little heater, it works well and it was so reasonable!

Mine barely makes a sound unless its been running all day, and its really hot in my house. But even then. Its no louder than the little fan can be.

Hi Patricia,We use it in our 200 sqft living room and it works really well. The ocilation feature allows you to get more area heated than a normal space heater. However, it does make a fan-like noise when it's running. It's not obnoxiously loud, just a low hum that really ends up being white-noise, and not something we find annoying. Hope that helps a bit!

Yes, it is completely silent. Even when it oscillates. I would also add that we have not had any issues with this heater and it heats a small area (bathroom or office area) it is sufficient.

Hi, it wasn't too noisy at all but I returned it and bought an oil heater instead .... A radiator. The reason was because we prefer the "warmth" of an oil radiator

There is a fan and it is extremely quiet. The unit can be set to oscillate or operate in a stationary mode. It is quiet when operating either way. Please be aware that the size of your room to be heated is an important factor in determining your comfort.

This heater is very quiet but does make a clicking noise when it cycles on and off. I am a lite sleeper but after a little while I didn't even notice the noise. I hope this helps.

No. It's in my office at work which isn't always the quietest spot but I've never once heard a noise from the heater. I also have the bigger version in my home tank and have never heard a sound from that one either.

Q: Will it heat up the whole room.A: If left on for a legnthy period on high, perhaps, but it is adjustable. I bought it to replace a ceramic one.It is one of their first ones and was great on those cold cold nights in San Francisco. Its a little noisier than most but it does a good heating job. The high heat element did go out after six months which included many nights that was left on for 8 hours or more. But it's my favorite of the Holmes. One of their late ones was so-so.

It's pretty quiet. Like any other room fan, just background noise. It turned out to be really helpful this winter....definitely worth the $

All heaters make a little noise, but if it's 2 loud maybe something is wrong with it, try the different settings on it!..

Well, those questions are a bit relative. I own two of these and I'd say they're not too loud on low and medium, on high they're naturally a bit louder. They do make some clicks when they oscillate so they're not whisper quiet. In regards to heat, I don't think I'd recommend mounting one in an extremely hot place since there is a lot of plastic on them, but I don't know what kind of temperatures you're talking about.

It sounds like a normal fan. It's not extremely loud, but it does make noise. It works extremely well. I have a one bedroom as well and I love it.

Not very noticeable. I was pleased. Much quieter than other heaters. Don't hesitate buying this unit. Great price, nice looking, nice to have a remote control with it.

No! On high setting, the fan is certainly noticeable in a quiet room whereas on low it is barely perceptible. But even high setting should not interfere with sleep for most people. My modern home furnace fan is louder than this heater on high setting. Low setting is barely perceptible. I was skeptical of this product when I first purchased a pair, and was even more critical upon arrival when they turned out to be much smaller than I expected. However, this little space heater has exceeded my expectations in output, circulation and economy. Regarding the fan, I wish it had a fan only option as they are quieter than the house fans I use in the summer to circulate air in my home. No!
