I don't mind the noise while I am working in my office; however, it may be difficult to sleep with on, especially if you are a "light" sleeper.

it depends on the fan speed but it is a little louder than a regular fan with fan low but gets louder as you go up in fan speed. I use it for bedroom but I always sleep with fan or tv/music on so it never bothers me

We have not had trouble with noise. I am particular about this so I can tell you it is quiet! Our finished basement is approximately 1000 square feet. We can watch Tv, play games without really noticing the machine. Ours runs continuously. I do have to empty it more often than our last machine but maybe this one is just better at removing moisture? Our basement stays at a comfortable humidity level. (&lt;50%)

This is a question that might be very personal. I consider the sound loud, but certainly not annoying. The machine works very well, so you have to consider if another machine that is quieter will work as well. Hopefully this answered your question.

It's no louder than a Keurig Machine is. In an office break room or kitchen it would be fine. Just be aware it goes through water VERY quickly.

No, the machine's noise is minimum and nice. You can check it out on YouTube.

Mine definitely is not that loud. You could open it in bedroom and no one else would know. I would contact manufacturer. Got to be a way to change it.

It's def louder than a portable generator. If you start it up and don't hear it, you better go check on it. Having said that tho, I don't mean to say that it is distractingly noisy, just that you're going to hear it running.

Of the 3 types of alarms I have had, this is by far the loudest. We currently have it located in a 20'x30' open area, more or less, and there's no way you could not hear it. It echoes since the room isn't furnished yet. We are in the process of building and haven't spent a night there yet to answer about the middle of the night, but I'm very confident that it would, if it were within 15' of your bedroom.

50 dBA, set in a corner, and measured at a distance of 4ft from the machine when it is set on high. I measured it. I think that would be considered loud by most people if operated in a small or moderate size bedroom. However on the low setting it is whisper quiet. I operate it on the low and medium settings in my 190 sqft bedroom, sleeping 6 ft away, and have no trouble sleeping. I definitely hear it but the whir/hum is not disturbing to me at all. On high it would bother me. The trouble with the low setting is that it puts out a negligible amount of vapor, so the Medium setting works well for me. 50 dBA, set in a corner, and measured at a distance of 4ft from the machine when it is set on high.

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.

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.

Well, it is louder than our dishwasher but we have a super quite one. It doesn't bother us, sound about the noise level of a humidifier, small fan heater running.

It is really loud. but if you use it in a big room - like a bedroom - and close the door - not so bad. but if you use it in the bathroom - which is usually small - and close the door, you can hear the noise in like the whole house. but the noise is the only negative
