About how loud is this fan? I'm looking for something to produce white noise while camping to overcome my tinnitus.

It's very quiet. Personally, I find noisy fans exacerbate my tinnitus. But everyone is different. If white noise helps yours, this won't do it.

Its just a quiet hum. But didn't cool the tent that well. Think you would be better off with an electric fan if possible.

I don't think that fan is going to be loud enough. The sole purpose is to use in a camping sleeping mode.treat your tinitius and get s good night sleep

It is not loud at all. I use mine in the basement while my family is asleep. I use it to cut brass and it is about as loud as a box fan on high power. You should be fine.

Hi Leslie, Thanks for your e-mail regarding the Air Revitalizer. It is practically noiseless, and I don't think it would make a good white noise maker. I hope I have helped you out. And, I want you to know how much I appreciate your attention to my review.Sincerely,Carol Ann

There are many white noise settings. Each one is a steady roar at a different pitch. I find the lower pitches comforting but the higher pitches are irritating. I guess it is a matter o personal preference. We use the fan sounds mostly because they sound natural.

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.

Sounds like the perfect fan for you...we like the white noise from a fan when sleeping also.

Yes. Rather quiet. I use it in my camper and dislike noise when I am sleeping.

I use it on low and the noise is actually pretty minimal. I can't give you decibels. It is close to my bed and I love the "white" noise it makes. It does put out a lot of air. I use it all year long and I live in Montana. Hope this helps. The wind is a lot more constant than my 12 inch regular fan I use to use.

I use this in addition to a small, cheap as possible, black fan. I usually buy one at Target, etc. and stay away from the ones that say "quiet operation." Ha. By itself, it's loud, but noise levels are obviously different per house/apartment/city, etc. With both things, I usually don't hear a thing!

Wrt the first part of the question, I have the fan about 8' from me when watching television and the noise level is quite low. I'm somewhat hard of hearing so I suspect it would be quiet enough for you. As for sleeping, the high speed does generate a soothing level of white noise in my bedroom, just as you want. I move it to that room when I go to sleep.

I don't know the exact noise level, scientifically speaking, but I find it loud enough to be quite disruptive.The level of noise it makes is the main reason I am currently replacing it. I'm tired of yelling over this thing. Also, since it doesn't have an energy save mode, the fan stays on even when it's not cooling, so the loudness is constant.

The fan is about as loud as an air conditioner on high.. I had it inside the tent at one point to try and dampen the noise. My plants grew too large and I needed the extra space in the tent so I had to remove it. As far as smell goes.. I have used it for two full grow cycles 18 hours per day. And it still does not smell like skunk in my other rooms

Definitely not a quiet fan, so if you are looking for noise this should work.We take it on trips for the same reason.

I know exactly what you are making and this should work great. Might possibly be more than what you wish for but if the audible level isn't a concern for you then this will do great. I am using mine to ventilate a foam structured "quiet box" for my camping generator. To get a good idea of the power this fan produces I can tell you that if you sit it on a flat surface and have the air flow being sucked from that flat surface, this fan will need adequate force to be pulled off while running. Hope this helps, its a great fan at a great price. Just don't expect to not hear it.

It isn't a loud fan, but the sound is consistent enough to diffuse sounds from outside. My neighbors have naturally loud kids who bounce basket balls and a guy who saws boards for no reason for hours. My fan makes their noise tolerable. Sometimes I use two fans on opposite sides of a 16'x16' bedroom and I almost don't notice the sawing or if the toddler screams. During the middle of the night one fan is sufficient to prevent the train noise (1 mile away on flat terrain) from disturbing my sleep.

On low, it's not loud at all. Since it's a larger fan, it's a bit quieter than the small diameter ones. On the Hi setting, it may be a little loud for your purposes, but I haven't hunted much so am not sure what's considered loud for you. I still think it's worth a try for you for the price to get two of them...

You can turn it up fairly loud. It definitely will keep snoring from being bothersome with a constant white noise. It is better than a fan.
