I would like to use a floor mounted fan in a media room where I listen to music on a high quality stereo. Is it quiet enough at the lower speeds?

It's pretty quiet at the lowest speed, but then you aren't getting much of a breeze. Kind of misses the point of a fan like this.

The lowest speed is quiet but you can still hear it. The only fan that's truly quiet in one of those Dyson models.

For a big fan, the lower speed is quite quiet, but I would say it depends upon how loud your music is and how big an area the room covers. My rooms are small and I can sit in the kitchen with my laptop and radio on and I do not hear any noise from the fan in the next connecting room, and the fan is on middle speed.

The fans are the loudest thing coming from my rack. This is at home so the noise is a bit much (ignorable). I also have wood floors so the sound travels a bit. I'm actually here looking for quiet replacement fans. I can't find the size anywhere. This unit would not be too loud for a standard business server room.

It sounds more like a fan. I use it in my office and it's pretty quiet. It's a little louder on high speed. Hope this helps !

The fan is not quiet, but would pull some cool air from room to room. But cool air will seek a lower section of a room, so fan should be placed low to pull cool air.

I'd classify it as quiet on low fan speed, moderate on high. I have no problem sleeping with the unit in the bedroom on low, or on watching TV in the same room, etc. On high, it's pretty noticeable in the same room, but inaudible elsewhere in the house.

You will have no issues with noise with this unit. It is a very quite motor and especially at the speed of 1.5 you will barely hear anything

I'm very satisfied with the fan. It's relatively quiet, good air flow and looks nice. It should do fine in a room of that size. You may have to run on the higher speed.

the fan does run continuously but at very low speed, if you are playin demanding stuff you can click the boost and it goes to 11... but its not really loud, considering the speakers you can cover the fan noise at 30-50% volume... theres no reason really to turn the volume up more, but also it will take hot exhause and get the output to cool in around a minute...

at low speed it's very quiet. At medium I can hear it but it's not noticeable loud...at high speed you can hear it.....It's NOT disgustingly loud, but you can hear it.....I now have two and they are great for circulating the warm air ( I use it with our woodstove ) or to cool the place off.....

It's quiet on the low speed setting but it gets louder as you increase the speed. Higher speeds are necessary for some bits so it wouldn't already be quiet. It is a great router to mount in a table; I'm glad I purchased it for mine.

I think it is. Of course the higher the speed the more fan and air noise you have. We use it on the medium setting all the time and forget that it even on.

It's pretty quiet but on the flooring I have it on and at a certain fan speed there is a slight buzzing going on. If you need dead silence I'd suggest an oil-filled radiator. They essentially make no noise except perhaps a slight clicking when they cycle on or off.

I would think so, but I would feel that it may be a bit difficult because the length of the fan cable is pretty long and than when you add an adapter it's even longer. So it depends if you want it quieter or not.

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

There is some noise at high speed but very little at other two speeds. I use my fan at low mostly as that is enough for me. Sorry I wouldn't know how to reduce it.

Sorry but I don't know about the dB level. The room I'm using it in is 12x16. I would compare the noise level to that of a fan. To me it just seems like white noise.

My shop is directly under our sun room. We live in the sun room. My unit is mounted to the ceiling joist in the shop which are the floor joist for the sun room. The unit cannot be heard in the sun room. In the shop where I generally work within 6 feet of it, I run it on low speed most of the time. Low is OK. I'll go to high speed when I am sanding. I find medium and high too loud when I don't have other noise making devices running. Keep in mind that I am a person that does not like loud music. I do not have music playing in the shop.
