Is this fan quiet enough to use in a classroom?

Only if you can project your voice well, it Dose move a great volume of air quickly!

I would say definitely! It has 3 settings and even the lowest setting moves the air around. It becomes white noise when the students should be concentrating and would not be loud enough to cause a distraction.

I would think so. Since it has a squirrel cage type fan and not a propeller type, I think it would be fine.

I was able to sleep with it on but the fan was about 15ft away. As for a classroom, probably ok. It's not a strong utility fan, so it's not as loud as the more expensive ones.EDIT: As other mentioned, there's three settings. Power 1 is definitely ok for classroom, power 3 will be up to you

It makes a bit of noise as the speed is increased with any fan. I guess it comes down to how quiet is quiet enough. The fan does a good job of cooling things down but does not oscillate.

Classroom: I'd say not on high speed, but if its away from the kids, it would be ok. And on low it would be fine. Moves a lot of air and is low profile.

Surprisingly even on low or medium, the sound is low enough and blows really great air! On high it can be a little bit loud but really not enough to disturb anyone.

Absolutely not. Obviously any fan makes some noise but this heater is quiet on both the lo & hi settings. We use it occasionally and primarily in our bedroom. It warms the room well and we both sleep with no noise problems with the fan.

This is the most versatile fan I have used. SO many angles and positions. And, yes, it is very quiet. It is a fan so isn't completely silent. It depends on how high you turn it up. Bedroom? I think so. Good luck!

Sorry for the delayed answer. The fan is not at all loud. Definitely less noise than my full-sized HP.

I believe it's quiet enough for a classroom, and the blades retract into the body so it's well protected

It's not as quiet as I'd like but not extremely annoying. I don't think I would use it in an auditorium during a school play or concert.

It's pretty quiet. Like any other room fan, just background noise. It turned out to be really helpful this winter....definitely worth the $

It makes about the same amount of noise as a fan. It doesn't bother me in my studio, but I like white noise.

We usually use ours in the bedroom but it would totally work in an office setting too. The fan is akin to a loud a/c unit which is commonly found in offices. I'm thinking it can help drown out some of the chatter from office mates. You don't even notice it after a while because it just becomes background noise. But in the beginning you or your office mates may notice it in the first few minutes.

It is pretty quiet. It sounds like a quiet fan blowing. Nothing more than that.

Relatively quiet. It's definitely quieter than the last fan of similar build I used.

It's fairly quiet, but there is a low hum. If you need total silence this will not do for you. However, this is the quietest battery-operated fan that I found.

not loud at all. I would use it indoors if we had a room big enough and tall enough

Due to the use of laser and led rather than a large incandescent light source the unit does not build up heat nearly as much as other projectors. This means that the fan is actually quite slow and the unit is very quiet. I have never actually thought about the noise from the fan in either the classroom or smaller meeting room in which I have used this model of projector, so it is not loud in any way. Hope this helps...

This fan is used as a rear case exhaust fan. My opinion, it is super quiet.

It's probably about as quiet as a box fan but in general, this fan is not quiet. I find the lowest setting to push too much air and is too noisy.

I use this fan in my bedroom. It's pretty quiet. Plus it circulates the air nicely.
