Ok. It says ultra quiet. But is it really? Looking for a small fan with a remote for my office. I don't want to have to turn it off to talk on the phone or hear the tv. Thanks

It's quieter than many other fans I found, but it's not dead silent. You can still hear the fan blowing.

I think it is very quiet... Quieter than my kids ceiling fan! Love the power, especially for the size

Hi Dawn, surprisingly it is quiet. My husband even noticed the difference between our old AC to this one. I didn't even buy it for that feature. Its low in sound and it doesn't keep me up. Have you tried a ceiling fan? They circulate the air well if sound is really a problem. But I do recommend it.

I purchased 2 and both are quite quiet as opposed to other models I have had. Quiet is relative though I guess. I for example, need a fan going to sleep at night.

On low, it's not loud at all. Since it's a larger fan, it's a bit quieter than the small diameter ones. On the Hi setting, it may be a little loud for your purposes, but I haven't hunted much so am not sure what's considered loud for you. I still think it's worth a try for you for the price to get two of them...

I call it quiet, even under load. I still hear fans, but they don't overwhelm my tiny speaker system. If you want zero noise, then this won't work.

It is very quiet. It is a great little fan. People ask me where I got it every time I use. Batteries last a looong time. Great purchase

Hard to describe Ultra Quiet. I can hear it when it comes on when I am not sleeping soundly but it does not disturb us. I consider it to be very quiet as far as heater fans go. We love it. It does the job of heating our small motorhome when we are camping.

The fan isnt very loud at all, kind of a very low hum......used it camping about 2 weeks ago. We like it alot.

On the highest setting I can still barely tell it is on. On the lowest setting I sometimes think it is already turned off. If not blowing on you, there is no need to raise your voice to be heard over it. It really is a very quiet fan.

It sounds like a normal fan. It's not extremely loud, but it does make noise. It works extremely well. I have a one bedroom as well and I love it.

I don't know if the fans are ultra quiet. But I run them at their highest setting (they have 3 manual settings) & I have to stand close to my entertainment center with everything else in the room turned off & no sound from any other device in order to hear them.

I think it would be a bit loud for being that close to recliners where you're obviously trying to relax. Unless, of course, you want major air. The solution I came up with for the TV room is this fan:http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000RMJANY/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?qid=1382477133&sr;=8-6π=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70Pretty darn quiet, works great, and the remote is actually useful. I liked it so much, I got a second one for the bedroom. Hope this helps.

It isnt extremely noisy but after a lot of use it starts to get louder. I wouldn't use it at the office because it gives off a whirling sound that some people find annoying. I like to use it at home when I'm watching tv where the only people around who I can bother are my roommates. Try it out though and see if anyone has a problem with it.

Actually, that is a subjective question. For me, I work from home, it is less than 5' from me, and I do not find it distracting at all - even at it's highest setting (there is a link that can manually adjust the fan speed.) I've even had an SSD in use within the box leaving only the fan noise. So, it's not all that loud to me. The other side of the coin though, is that it is not in a bedroom, nor next to my TV/Stereo/etc. The sensitivity of the 'listener' is what gives a better answer.

Can't offer a comparison to other fans, but there must be quieter ones out there because this one does make a lot of noise. You can clearly hear it from both inside the house and outside. It is significantly louder than the 20 yr. old fan it replaced, but I have a feeling it also has a higher rated capacity, because it does seem to move a lot of air. The only encouragement I can offer is that if you set the thermostat high enough, you could get it to turn itself off in the evening. Don't know what temp. that might be in your area: mine is set at about 105. Good luck.

It's more like a very small fan. I'd say it is relatively quiet. It's not a rattling sound or anything. I usually use mine at night so it's ready by morning.
