Does it operate quietly?

Yes. I myself prefer to run it consistently and it's a quiet little hum. It lasts longer through the night if you use the 30sec on/off option. That's what my kids use. :)
1158235
Yes. I have it on my nightstand so it is less than 3 feet from my head and I never hear it.

It auto shuts off when it runs out of water son you don't need to worry about it burning up

Yes, I can barely hear it at all and forget it is on and if you have anything other background noise you can not hear it at all. I look for the mist coming out to make sure it is still working.

Yes very quietly ... A little click when it shuts off. You can't hear any noise when it's running .

You can hear it when it is on but it's not really noisy. I would call it fairly quiet.

It does but it is very subtle. I used it this morning and I only heard a small peep. Mine at least, doesn't always make much sound. Love it anyway.

It is not loud, but there is a little fan noise that goes along with it, so it is kind of a quiet white noise. Larger units may be a bit louder.

Yes. And it is the closest thing to a silent computer as I have ever heard. Instant on. I push the button to turn it on and immediately get a log in.

I do not think it is very noisey. In fact I have opened it up to see if it was working because it is so quiet.

I use mine in that manner and it's plenty quiet. No one has ever noticed it.

Yes, once turned on it runs constantly until you turn off. I believe it is quieter than a hand drill.

It's quiet enough that I don't notice it, and it does not beep when you turn it on or off.

Yes and exceptionally quiet. However we had to rerun it as it was blandly damaged during shipping

It is quiet to me. Just a light fan noise. It is easy to forget that it is on.

Absolutely. I use it at work in my cubicle And it runs silent. It does not disturb anyone.

It's pretty quiet with the fan running. It's virtually silent with the fan turned off.

No, it doesn't, which is a little annoying as it doesn't remember previous settings, and it's very quiet. It will always turn on as stationary (not oscillating), and always on the highest fan speed setting. I've also noticed that I have to use the remote control in front of it, otherwise it doesn't always turn on. So I always have to walk over and check to see if it turned on.

Considering its power, yes it is quiet. I live in an apt. and use it very early in the morning and some late nights --- and no one has ever complained.

We really don't know because it operates out in our garage. But we've never though about it, so it must be quiet.
