Just how quiet is this please? I'm trying to find a cooling solution for my (very warm) audio closet for voice work.Cheers.

Mine is not quieter than my fixed blade fan of equal size, and in fact is slightly noisier as there is a tiny bit of internal "rattle" sound from the device itself as you can tell its not perfectly balanced (not the stand on the desk, as it has very nice rubberized feet).

It's actually very quiet and pretty cooling for such a small fan. Sometimes i dont even realize its on and forget to such it off cause its so quiet.

Mine isn't whipser-quiet as the other reviewer said, though its not loud either. Its probably about what you would expect it to sound like.

On the low setting its barely audible. Even on the high setting its pretty quiet. MUCH MUCH quieter than a fan with "hard" blades.

It's very quiet, just a slight hum. I don't even notice it. I've had mine for several weeks! Quite satisfied !

I purchased 2 and both are quite quiet as opposed to other models I have had. Quiet is relative though I guess. I for example, need a fan going to sleep at night.

I would say it's whisper quiet. I would even go so far as to say someone in the same room might not be able to hear it. Thank you for shopping with DGS Novelties.

No noise its always silent...if you let it run a little with boots or shoes on it then take one off you can feel its warm inside!!!

Great question! The amp is well vented, but I don't know if there is a cooling fan or simply vented. I have never heard any ambient or mechanical noise in the unit. I have now purchased 3 systems because of their portability, simplicity, and clean sound. There are better and louder systems available, but for us this is the perfect little set up.

Have had no noise with our unit. Very quiet.... but try it and if does not stop, send back. Hope this helps

It is quiet, but you can hear it running. It might be a distraction if used intermittently in a home theater environment. I have no way of measuring actual decibels.

Hi Dawn, surprisingly it is quiet. My husband even noticed the difference between our old AC to this one. I didn't even buy it for that feature. Its low in sound and it doesn't keep me up. Have you tried a ceiling fan? They circulate the air well if sound is really a problem. But I do recommend it.

It's pretty quiet. I have it in my TV room and don't notice any noise...I don't have air conditioning anywhere in my house. I only use this portable one in one room and love it.

Well, I think quiet is relative. It's a lot less noisy than some blow dryers I've owned, but it still makes noise...more like an air blowing "hum" than a loud gushing air sound. Hope that makes sense!

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.

it's in a closet with nothing else at the moment so it is pretty loud. the output though is amazing! i'm ok with the noise.

Its quiet. I usd it as a bedroom refrigerator, and didnt hear it. Prior, I used it as a freezer, and it was very quiet. Great little appliance.

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.

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.

Sorry, it's not quiet at all. It's a very nice size and is great when it works, but truthfully, I've had about 6 of these. They break so easily. I've recently switched to a different brand.
