I just bought this model and I find it is too loud even on the lowest setting. Is there a way to make it quieter?

The housing is designed to adjust the opening of the slits on the circumference of the device. So you have to speed settings and can adjust air slit openings. Both can be manipulated to an appropriate sound quality. My device is placed across the room from me. It may be to close to your person.

It takes getting use to, give it a few nights. I went from low setting to high setting because after I got use to the lower level of air noise I needed it louder. Now I can drown-out dogs barking and drunk neighbors having partys until 2 AM or longer. Think of it like a pair of new shoes you have to wear a couple of days to break-in.

I don't believe so. It is rather loud... but it downs out background noise for us. My sister has one and her room is a bit smaller (a lot smaller) than mine and she actually puts hers in the bathroom! Haha maybe try something like that?Hope this helps a little :)

Is the area you're using it in large enough that you could move it to another room, or behind furniture? I don't notice the high-pitch noise so much but the growling motor is pretty loud to me, and so I use it in a central g room where it's not such a nuisance. The low setting volume is better but then it takes longer to dry the room(s). I hope you find a satisfactory solution!

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

I don't remember it being loud, just a little motorized noise. You should return it and have it replaced if it's loud! Good luck!:)

Mine isn't noisy at all. And mine works awesome and is well worth the price. Just bought mine used do I didn't spend the money a new one would be. Maybe it's clogged ?

I have this same problem. It's loud and I can't for the life of me figure out why it started or how to stop it. I'll have to buy a new machine (not this one).

Mine is super quiet. I have to look at it to make sure it is still running.

I'm thinking it is just a bit loud. I've had two of these and the longer you use them it seems to get louder. Make sure the center piece is snapped in correctly. It can be removed for cleaning and it's possible it's not seated properly. Hope this helps.

I have the larger model. I have cooked White and GABA brown on this. It is not very loud. There is a low hum while it is cooking/prepping from the internal fan, which sounds like my laptop when it isn't working very hard.If yours sounds like a grinding noise I would suspect that either something is in your fan causing it to grind, or you otherwise have a faulty fan. I don't think there are other components in there which are capable of making loud noises. Unless there is some process of induction cooking for which I am unaware that might cause this.

Sorry, I can not help you, it was a gift for my great nephew. At the time I printed one of the reviews regarding the volume setting, since that was the only troublesome issue. Look in the reviews for guidance. Good luck!

I have not found a way around it. The volume is a little soft but I just use it in a spare bedroom where it's pretty quiet. I still like the interface and it was perfect for my usage.

Mine is extremely quiet! I did go into the settings (via the browser) and set it on quite mode to achieve this level of quietness.

Try reducing the output volume. I have to keep mine fairly low. Takes some tweaking

It should be fine on the low setting. Even if it's a bit too loud for your taste, you can always place a dish towel over it to muffle it a bit more!

There are two volume settings on it. Even the lowest setting is not very quiet. I can hear it while the tv is on at a normal volume...If that helps at all.

Is it still under warranty? Mine is too loud most of the time. Sounds like the unit is faulty.

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.
