Is this fan very noisy?

Noise similar to a box fan, very low sound on low, on medium you can hear it run but could still carry on a conversation if 10 feet from it. On high it is louder like a box style fan also but you could carry on conversation if 10 feet away but it may be distracting. The sound you hear is from the rushing air through the blades and grill. Motor is quiet.

Not noisy. Of course, it is a heavy duty, thus you will hear a humming from the air flow. Excellent fan.

I consider this fan quiet. Even at low speed (on #1 setting) the fan pushes a lot of air.

We like our fan. Have it out on our patio. Have not noticed any loud noise. Very quiet! Hope this helps.

It's relatively quiet for a fan. Anytime you have fan blades moving air, you have a hum, of course, just from the friction with the air, but there is little to no motor sound. I find it quite steady and quiet.

On the lower setting the fan is reasonable for an office (mine is used at work). It would be noticed only as white noise in my opinion. On high it is louder.

I haven't used this fan since last summer but I seem to recall that it makes a slight clicking sound. We use it on the front porch not in the bedroom so we haven't noticed any really annoying noises. It's pretty quiet.

The fan is very quiet. I almost did not buy this because someone wrote a negative review on the fan noise. This is not an issue at all.

I don't know the exact noise level, scientifically speaking, but I find it loud enough to be quite disruptive.The level of noise it makes is the main reason I am currently replacing it. I'm tired of yelling over this thing. Also, since it doesn't have an energy save mode, the fan stays on even when it's not cooling, so the loudness is constant.

The fan is very loud.. I replaced the fan with a whisper fan I had from an old computer.

Not at all. It is the least noisy of any fan heater that I've owned or that I've seen in other's houses. Can be used in any setting - office, bedroom, nursery, etc. - without being distracting.

Relatively quiet. It's definitely quieter than the last fan of similar build I used.

As others have said, it puts out a ton of air. It is certainly NOT quiet though. On low, it is probably about as loud as most other fans are on high, but the air movement is significant. You buy this fan to move a lot of air, not for silence. It is the kind of fan that you turn off after several hours and, only then, realize just how loud it was.

The fan is pretty quiet. I have one each in my children's bedroom and they haven't complained about the noise. Have had it for almost a year now I think. They have used it during the winter too in the reverse to circulate the warm air.

It is not too loud; about the same as a window fan. I have mine in the bedroom, and I would not be able to sleep if it was very noisy.

I don't think it is noisy. I think it is quite soft. It made our old mattress much more comfortable.

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

I suppose your sensitivity to noises would determine whether this fan would be considered quiet or not to you. I would call it moderately quiet on high speed and quite quiet on lower speeds. I keep it on medium speed and the small amount of noise it puts out is not at all disturbing and the fan is located in a bedroom. It is used only in the Summer to boost air conditioning. The unit is turned up-side-down so that it throws air up. it works perfectly well that way and still responds to the remote control as it should.
