is it quiet enough to be used in an apartment

Only if you ISOLATION feet & heavy carpeting. It will rattle the ceiling of the people under you.

If you live on the first floor of the apt, then I would say yes. If people live under you, there may be a problem since, the shaker might create noise for your neighbors. I love mine. It is great.

In my experience, yes. When I first purchased it, I was on the top floor of an apartment and had no problems.

Almost silent wouldn't describe this unit. It's not overly noisy, but given you're description of use, I'd also be concerned of the moisture this would be putting into the air and how it would affect your equipment over time. Also, if the closet hasn't any exhaust for the heat to blow out somewhere, this or any other A/C won't be very efficient.

This product is not quiet. We use it in our NYC apartment and it does work well, it just sounds like a jet is landing in our living room.

Not quiet for sure but probably no noisier than other vacuum cleaners I've had other past 20 years. I definitely would not use it late at night or early morning so as not to disturb apartment neighbors.

It does make a sound but I don't find it too noisy. If you're in an apartment bldg it might cause a neighbor to ask what the noise is but I don't see it as so loud that people bang on the ceiling.

I use this unit in my shop, so noise is not a factor, on the high mode you can hear the fan, maybe too loud for inside your home. Does an excellent job in my shop.

No. Waste of money. If you want it quiet in there do all the doors. That will help.

I use mine in a shop, I would say the noise level would be similar to that of a box fan. The unit does a great job.

It can be a pretty soft ring. Unless in a very small apartment this is going to be too quiet.

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 is very quiet. As it gets older the air sound gets louder, but my husband uses ours every night while I am sleeping and I don't hear it. Just a swish swish sound. It will not disturb your neighbors, above or below.

No it's extremely quiet mine is in our bedroom. I have had it for about. 6 months now and it works great!!

It was quiet within a normal home environment. If you have special requirements, you'd better get input from someone who uses it with no background noise.

I have it installed in a rental. There's no way around having a wall type AC making the noise of blowing air (fan). I would not say that it's quiet.

You probably won't hear it unless it's in your bedroom. It's like a small fan on low speed, maybe quieter.

I would say, no. It's got a noise not unlike a window air conditioner, but not nearly as loud when starting up. It's relatively quiet overall

I use it in a "bonus room" over the garage in my house. It makes about as much noise as a window air conditioner. The unit sits in the room so you hear the compressor and fans. It is quiet enough that my grans kids (6 and 8 years old) do not complain.
