It is very quiet on high and I can barely feel the air coming out. Is this normal or is it obvious when hi is on?

Mine runs moderately loud and I can feel the air coming out. I keep it on high almost constantly, but it really has a hard time keeping the humidity level up even on high,it is better than none at all though.

As I turn it from 1 to 3, it revs up to a fairly load sound. Both of our Holmes Humidifers were the same. I think that if yours is quiet on three, something is wrong.

This is difficult to answer. First, is this a new unit that has just been put in service? If so, during the setup procedure did you remove the upper housing and insure the filters were not wrapped with a protective cover? Is, then I suggest that you select each of the 3 different fan speeds and see if the air flow changes. If not it may be a defective control unit. In any case, if you can not determine what may cause the problem and this is a new unit I would call the manufacture and explain the problem to them.

On high it might drown out some noise but it is actually a pretty quiet fan which is what I was looking for. There are other fans listed that are described as being "noisy" so I didn't choose them.

On the low setting it will be pretty quiet. On high there will be a noticeable sound. I like it on my desk because it muffles out other conversations sort of like a white noise. I like this fan a lot.

I hear no such noise in mine, however, I always leave mine in standby mode. I suspect you have a noisy cooling fan.

I can not hear any noise ,the only noise we hear is the air handler when kick on and then is a smooth noise but my air handler is next to my room , the other bedroom no noise only the air coming out of the vent.Leo

yeah something's wrong then, mine sounds like a jet engine winding up when turned on. And the airflow increases quite a bit from the low to high setting, as well as the feel of suction in the back from the air getting pulled in. Make sure all the filters are pressed all the way in and the back panel is snapped on because it has a safety feature that wont let it turn on when that cover isnt on. If all that is the case and its still not working id return it, the next one will be fine im sure.

Its not a consideration. It's not as loud as my himidifier, not as loud as the air circulating through my ductwork, not as loud as the AC. I might put it on par with, I dont know what. I actually didn't notice the noise so I can't recall. I guess it can't be that loud.

It is quiet .... I sleep with this fan on high every night and it doesn't bother me at all.

Try turning the fan to a lower setting. To be honest with you, window units never bother me (noise-wise) You are never EVER going to find a super quiet window unit. But try turning the fan down from the HI setting.

If you use the sleep mode it is a low hum but I usually can't tell it's on. On regular mode just sounds like a fan.

Mine is quiet. You should not have noise. Turn volume down. See instructions.

Not sure what sound you're experiencing, but it should be very quiet. There is a vague electrical hum if you were to get right up next to it, but that should be it.

There is a Hi and Lo setting, I have it set on low, and sitting in the window behind the drapes, and it isn't that loud.

If it's on low you can barely hear it, but on high it's kind of loud. It doesn't bother me, but if you're sensitive to noise, you might find it irritating. Great fan though. I've had it for a while and it's working perfect.

Good question, actually the fan is very quiet and doesn't seem to drown out much in the way of sound.

At low-medium it's almost silent. High is not too disruptive, turbo is loud enough it will interfere a bit.

It is very quiet. If you are right up next to it you might hear some bubbling. However mine seems to keep shutting off so I am thinking of returning it. It won't stay on. Maybe that is why it seems so quiet. Could have just gotten a lemon.
