is this REALLY quiet? I'm looking for an electric unit that makes no sound.

It does make a sound but its barely audible. I leave mine in my master bathroom and cannot hear it when its running. If I'm standing next to it, I can hear a very faint hum.

You can hear water dripping... it does not make no sound. I bought another one on amazon that looks like a clay vase, came in black or white. You can't hear anything. The water is inside a plastic vessel, and the clay or ceramic vase sits down on top of it, so I think it muffles the sound. It cost a bit more, about $80. I don't think amazon will let me post another product on this one.

No longer available on amazon. Maybe you can find somewhere else. This one is silent! I love it.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E18XDME/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1

Extremely quiet, mine is in crawl space below kitchen and I never hear it. I have mine powered by extension cord (heavy duty).

I think it is very quiet for how cold this unit gets. It gets more quiet when its on it's Econ Mode. I think all window air conditioners will have some level of noise but in my opinion this is one of the quietest ones I have ever owned. And once you stop listening to judge the level of noise it becomes bearly noticeable at all. This is a great quiet unit in my opinion.

The unit is whisper quiet. If you put it on auto fan, you hardly know the unit is on. The compressor does kick in, but it doesn't blast in and is actually no louder than a window unit.

Considering its power, yes it is quiet. I live in an apt. and use it very early in the morning and some late nights --- and no one has ever complained.

It's not very quiet, but it's not as loud as my window unit. My son uses this New Air portable unit in his room and he said it doesn't really bother him while he's sleeping.

Actually, no. It's quiet silent. I was surprised to hear it. I thought it would be way more noisy.

It is very quiet. It is much quieter than other small appliances. The impact on my energy bill is insignificant.

I don't think it's loud at all. I've had it running 24/7 in my bedroom since I got it and it's pretty quiet. It's about the same noise as a window a/c or quieter. Hope that helps!

No noise at all! According to my fiance, if there is buzzing noise, it may not be properly grounded. We replaced the electric heaters all over the house and we are very pleased!

No, my unit does NOT make such a sound. I DO think it is faulty. Please return it, ASAP, but be sure you tell them why.

The Unit is Not electrical at all. It does not make any sounds aside from the usual ones made when in use. You will definitely hear noise if it does create a leak though.

Yes it is. It has moments when the condenser may run and you might hear a slight noise, but by and large, this is a very quiet unit.

Not sure what sound you're experiencing, but it should be very quiet. There is a vague electrical hum if you were to get right up next to it, but that should be it.

Mine is noisy, but kind of a white noise. If I had it in the bedroom, it would not bother me, but I like that type of noise to be able to cover for other random noises from outside. It is most definitely NOT a quiet unit, though.

Not at all - I was frankly surprised at how quiet it actually is. Low hum is about it - even on high. I use it in my basement workshop and don't even notice it after a short time.
