It is extremely quiet. This is the third electric fireplace that I have owned and definitely the best!

Mine is in my bedroom and is not noisy enough to wake me up. The flames make a sound by themselves from whatever is rolling inside to make the flames but it's quiet enough that I forget it's on and sometimes fall asleep with them on. The thermostat is set in the winter so the heat kicks on occasionally during the night and does not wake me up - sometimes it's on in the morning when the alarm goes off. The heater is a little louder than the flames.. I would describe as a low pitched fan sound that is pleasant enough to fall asleep to. I watch TV in my room sometimes and the TV completely drowns out the heater. Mine is in my bedroom and is not noisy enough to wake me up.

It's not noisy at all. You can just barely hear the blower kick on, but any room noise at all is minimal.

It's not very loud. I sleep with the ceiling fan on and this thing too, and sometimes I can't tell if it's on. The fan is basically what you would find in a computer tower so the noise is minimal. A slight humm if anything

The fan is NOT noisy at all. And when you have the water sprayer turned on , it's still pretty quiet. Hope you enjoy it as much as our family has

Very quiet. We the fan set low, and have it going 24/7 in our living room and can hardly notice the sound.

It's very quiet; on high, the sound is audible, but it's a soft audible. Certainly not rattley like alot of round fans are.

On high speed it is pretty noisy,but not more than a bladed fan. I'm pretty sensitive to noise so maybe it's me. On low it is just fine

I wouldnt call it a 'quiet' fan. But neither is it loud. I would put it right in the middle. We can leave it on and not hear it in the bedroom attached to the bathroom if the door is closed, just a low hum, but easy to sleep through. I did notice that it got a little bit louder after a few months of installing it, but I may just need to clean it a little.

very low noise . About the sound a small fan would make from a computer cooling system. From 5 to 10 feet away you will not notice it.

I think the fan is about as silent as it gets. I have noticedno noise whatsoever. You do have to keep the vents on the back clear or it will heat up way too fast. I use mine primarily for MusicReader software for performance and I am happy with it. That said it isn't TOTALLY silent, but mine is very close.

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.

Not noisy at all. I use mine at 5am while my husband and two children sleep. Very quiet.

Good question, actually the fan is very quiet and doesn't seem to drown out much in the way of sound.

Yes, the fan makes some noise. Not unbearable, but not somewhere between a whisper and soft talk.

I suppose your sensitivity to noises would determine whether this fan would be considered quiet or not to you. I would call it moderately quiet on high speed and quite quiet on lower speeds. I keep it on medium speed and the small amount of noise it puts out is not at all disturbing and the fan is located in a bedroom. It is used only in the Summer to boost air conditioning. The unit is turned up-side-down so that it throws air up. it works perfectly well that way and still responds to the remote control as it should.

It's a 4" fan, and it isn't completely quiet. It makes a sort of 'white noise' kind of thing. Not very problematic, unless you're looking for total silence. It is definitely not a problem for me, and I have it right next to me on a nightstand.

In my opinion it is very quiet. I was surprised by how much air such a quiet fan could move.

Kathy, We used ours in the kitchen and although it is not totally quiet, it is reasonable and acceptable. I have been impressed with the quality of the fan. Pw
