How noisy is this unit? I am going to be sleeping near it.

On level 1 it's fine. We only keep it on level 1, that seems to be sufficient. On the highest level it is pretty loud. We use it in a 600sqft space, which is not recommended, and it cools the whole room :) hope this helps!

With the fan on level one it creates the perfect white noise and circulates the air gently to keep it fresh. When it is hot out and you need cooling the compressor is not too much louder but the thermostatic cycling could be set at a longer duration ,that said prior experience with GE Goldstar and Frigidaire this model is pretty quiet.The only quieter I have experienced is LG's 10,000 btu window/wall mount mod # lw1010er.

You should be able to although it is quite noisy, machine noise is not that bad.

There are three speeds, and at F1, the noise is minimal, and shouldn't disturb sleep. The second, and high speed anr not intrusive, but somewhat louder.

It's not quiet. I used a sound level meter to compare it to a couple other units and it's literally 10-20 times louder. The sound it makes is also particularly annoying.

Sounds is very minor. It would possibly keep you awake should you sleep right next to it; but in another room it's really a non-issue for us.

Unit has three different fan speed settings to help with noise. But my opinion is no, unit is not excessively loud. It is in my bedroom, I sleep with it on low.

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).

Medium to white noise. Ours is about 7 feet from my head, and I've been able to go to sleep with no trouble with it on.

It's not noisy but not perfectly quiet. Just a low humming sound. I have used it in my bedroom and it did not keep my awake but some people are more sensitive to sounds than others.

It makes a fair amount of noise. I'm not sure how much, but at any rate, the guy beside my office is able to hear when I'm getting up or going to bed. But that's up to the thickness of your walls. I tend to deflate it like a 'regular' mattress (so it almost silently hisses) without the power pump when I wake up, so I haven't run into many problems.

it is fairly quiet. We use it in our bedroom of a lake cabin it we actually sleep well.

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.

It is not completely silent. There is a little noise but it doesn't bother me even when running in bedroom through the night. I am a light sleeper. When it is on in the living room with other ambient noise you don't notice it. We are happy with it.

it's very quiet. I would use it when I sleep and I never had a problem, and I'm a light sleeper

Mine is noisy too, but I have it in a closed utility room. With the utility room door closed, it is not objectionable. Love the pressure boost!

It's not super noisy but it's not whisper quiet either. I have mine in the living room, I don't know that it'd be good for running overnight in a bedroom. Also, I live in NYC and probably have a higher noise tolerance than people who live in rural or suburban areas.

It is a bit noisier than some AC units I have owned. I prefer other models on the market, and this one would require a heavy sleeper to use it in a bedroom.

It is not too noisy. On the other hand I used it in a kitchen where the noise level is higher then in an office. Good luck.

The unit is about medium noisey. Naurally the faster fan makes more noise. But as usual, once it on for awhile your hearing ignores the noise.
