I live in an apartment. How noisy is this?

It is not really noisy. It makes a swoosh sounds as you walk or run on it -- but not noise.

Do not buy this POS. It isn't the noise. It's that it doesn't function properly. And you can never get it fixed properly.

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

It is not noisy at all. I use it when I watch t.v. for a long time so I assume it would be ok to use it in your cubicle.

Loud. The fan (only) is not bad, but when that compressor kicks in, it's noise. The unit is in a window about 7 to 8 feet from my bed.

Will probably be fine. This one is quiet but if you are directly over the other bedroom they may hear some noise bit probably no more than you walking on the floors?

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.

It's pretty loud. I have thin walls and I always have my tv or radio on when my roommate is home. She has never said anything about the sound, but I still like to be careful.

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

not too noisy at all.. It runs all night long in the bedroom.. soothing if anything!

It is very quiet. I live in a one room studio and it does not bother me in the least.

It is REALLY noisy, seriously I will be returning mine because of that. I had bought for my bedroom but this is unbearable, even the lowest speed generates so much more noise than my old AC on the max speed.

It's certainly loud enough for neighbors to complain if you live in an apartment complex, as I do. I never have my heads' volume above 9 o'clock on the master volume; any louder, and I risk complaints. I think this cab would be more than adequate for gigs in a small coffee shop.

I would say the noise level is about the same as others. Maybe just ever so slightly quieter. I bought it because it is very light in weight.

Mine does make some noise when I move it from room to room, however I wouldn't say it is loud.

It's not whisper quiet. I have it in my living room and am able to hear it in my bedroom with the door open (not a huge house). We run it off and on throughout the day and continuously through the night. It doesn't make an annoying noise but it would say it is as loud as a box fan.

I would not say that it is overly noisy. I can hear my dog get on the bed, but not as she moves around and settles. We have hard wood floors and noise is mainly the frame shifting on the floor.

Elizabeth the only thing I have noticed is when it is running it does give noise in the electrical power that is picked up with AM radio. I think it will be OK for an apartment. If you are above ground floor it is heavy and an elevator would assist with delivery or when you move!

There are four volume settings and the lowest volume would be fine for an apartment. If you think that is too loud, I put a piece of scotch tape over the speaker hole and the volume got even quieter.
