Is this humidifier quiet ?

The amount of noise the fan makes depends on the setting. Low is quiet; medium is louder; high is louder still; auto uses one of those 3 speeds as needed, such as starting out high and moving to medium and low as the selected humidity level is reached. The fan may even stop if the selected humidity level stays static. The sound is of blowing air; not moving parts.

At age 71, the hum in my ears is louder than the noise made by this dehumidifier. I have it in a basement room and have to almost approach near it to listen for the quiet hum. Beats a compressor model hands down.

It is not silent. It makes a noticeable fluttering sound as it operates. But it does work well.

yes it is very quiet, especially compared with a standard compressor type dehumidifier. But initially it has a strong odor from the heating element- it was really strong for about 2 weeks- if it had been in a small room with me it would have been unacceptable. It goes away after a couple of weeks. So break it in in another room before you get intimate with it.

Yes, very quiet. But it puts out heat, to regenerate the desiccant, so its use is limited in hot, humid weather, eg not for a bedroom. I'm satisfied with mine.

Yes, it is quiet. It is installed in one of our motel rooms and is so quiet when I walk in I have to look at the panel to see if it is on.

It is very quiet, however does make a slight "blowing" sound, unless you were really listening for it, don't think it would be noticeable.

No more than any other one I have owned, I would not say its quiet, but on par with other low priced vacs:-)

Katrin, the unit is very silent. It doesn't have the noisey fan like a wet spong humidifier. I don't have a DB rating but it is easy to sleep with.

It's very quiet, just a slight hum. I don't even notice it. I've had mine for several weeks! Quite satisfied !

In my opinion, yes, it is relatively quiet. At least not as noisy as some others i have used.

Mine is quiet but it depends on which setting you use. If it's on the lowest and is still very loud then there is an issue.

Yes. The unit is very quiet for the most part. Occasionally, but very seldom, it seems that it gets "off kilter" and makes a bit more noise. But a slight tap ends that noise.

Well, I think quiet is relative. It's a lot less noisy than some blow dryers I've owned, but it still makes noise...more like an air blowing "hum" than a loud gushing air sound. Hope that makes sense!

The one I purchased and installed is relatively quiet. I don't notice any noise. I'm happy with the purchase.

Yes it is very quiet. I am up early and like to "vacuum" before I leave. My downstairs neighbors never even hear it.

It is very quiet. I don't like any noise when I sleep and sometimes I put this unit on my nightstand and it doesn't bother me. When it is in our family room I don't even notice that it is on.

We've owned lots of humidifiers. This and the sunbeam equivalent are the quietest I've found.

Yes. It just sounds like whooshing air, which is a white noise sound to me so it doesn't bother me. It is by no means loud at all. Quiet is relative, but I'm my opinion, yes it is quiet. I hope that helps. Ps. I love this item regardless

Mine is actually very quiet. I had another model that was extremely noisy, so I am very happy with this model.
