Is this a quiet laptop? One of the reviewers mentioned an elevated noise level.

Sorry I don't know. I purchased for resale and the customer has not mentioned any excessive noise

I haven't noticed noise coming from the processor, though the keyboard is a bit noisy. Randomly, I will say that the battery life is not great, but I don't mind too much since it does charge quickly. Maybe 3 hours battery life, longer if you're just using loaded applications instead of Internet.

One other comment to add. I read where one person said it was loud. Mine is relatively quiet...much quieter than an up right.

I have all fans connected and would say it's fairly quiet. My video card fan is louder then the rest.

I think the fan is about as silent as it gets. I have noticedno noise whatsoever. You do have to keep the vents on the back clear or it will heat up way too fast. I use mine primarily for MusicReader software for performance and I am happy with it. That said it isn't TOTALLY silent, but mine is very close.

Yes. It is very quiet and cool unless you're running very resource-intensive software or games.

I'm not sure if I can truly answer this question 100%. I have the diskstation in my office room. In all, this diskstation does not make much noise when it's running. I actually don't even notice it running when I'm in my office. But when it's idling, you don't hear anything since the hard drives are not running. And the fan is very quiet.

I would say around average. It isn't quiet but I have heard worse. If you are doing a lot of chatting, and quiet is your main selling point. I would probably look for another. Still like the keyboard, but I don't have many worries on how noisy it is.

Mine is relatively quiet; it only makes some mild fan noise when under heavy load.

I'm also suffering from the noisy fan problem.... Will never purchase a Toshiba PC again. The Lenovo Thinkpad that I have from work never emits a sound from a fan. Simply a much better designed machine.

It's quite loud~ much louder than my previous laptop. I'm not sure about the quality... It's good for me~

This is by no means a silent machine, but I never found the sound to be abnormally loud. Mine was a moderate level of sound.

There is barely any noise from this laptop and I love that. It does get warm though but only as warm as expected, not hot, and only during gaming. It stays at roughly room temp during desktop use.

It is very quiet. It does have a fan and occasionally it is loud if the computer is "working hard". I would say the fan is on very low 90% of the time and you can barely hear it.

Just NO NOT touch the upper side near the fans. The noise is loud compared to my last laptop.

I always have my computer on top of a book so that the fans can keep the computer cool. So, I don't notice any muffling. The sound is pretty good.

I wouldn't say my drive is loud. The noise level seems typical but this is my first external writer.

It's very quiet. It only makes noises when you carry your laptop with your right on the fan.
