Has anyone tried setting this indoors, and if so, how loud is the fan? Is it loud as a lawnmower, vacuum cleaner, or hair dryer? thanks!

We have it... I'd say its like a vacuum inside. Plus the screaming kida inside:) we like it. It is well constructed.

Yeah I just set mine up and the motor is pretty loud. I'm thinking of returning it because of that even though everything else is great.

There is a pull chain on the motor unit. It is a strong fan, but I wouldn't say too strong for indoors. I use mine in my basement and it's working out great.

An amazing amount. I usually use only the first setting. The second and third sends things flying. I have two dogs and it creates a hair storm even though I've just vacuumed. Otherwise a terrific fan. The best part is that you can take it apart to clean it since it's all metal. Hope this helps...

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.

Well, weird as it may seem, I am looking for a fan that actually makes a noticeable hum/sound. We use it as a sound conditioner and to drown out external noise when sleeping. Does anyone know of one that would meet that requirement? Ours is about to quit, and it is not the time of year to find one in a retail store. Thank you.

It is not loud at all. I use mine in the basement while my family is asleep. I use it to cut brass and it is about as loud as a box fan on high power. You should be fine.

I dont consider it loud at all and i also find i dry my "thick" hair on the low setting. I really like this dryer.

bought 2 about 6 months ago. The fan seems to be loud on mine, but it needs to be cleaned regularly. My husbands isn't loud at all. Cannot tell it is running. It does run all the time. Not just when it gets hot. I sometimes unplug when not in use. For the price, being light weight, I like it.

If you're trying not disturb anyone else that may be in the next room ain't gonna happen. It's a machine, it makes noise. Is it extreme? No. Would you be able to epilate and go un noticed? No. Slitely more noise than an electric face shaver but much less than a hair blow dryer. Does this help?

It is as loud as any lawnmower would be. If you want quiet get a Honda. I usually set mine up behind my garage so when I'm in the house with the door closed I don't really notice it. But, I couldn't tell you what my neighbors think.

I can't hear it running in the house with the windows closed. I have no problem carrying on a conversation, without screaming, standing right next to it when it is running . It is quieter than my lawn mower, pressure washer and snow blower. It's quieter then I expected it to be.

I think it is louder then a full size vacuum cleaner. It's pretty loud. Haha.

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...

It looks the same as the one I have. I dont' think it is any louder than a hair dryer. Be sure to line up the tool with the base or it will come flying off. Took me a while to figure that out.

I use it in my family/sewing room - lower level, no windows. I run it all the time mostly on low . Very quiet. Have had to clean it twice. Hepa filters replacement is expensive but I haven't needed to do that. Have had it 2-3 yrs.

Probably too noisy for routine use that close to conversation, TV, etc. Ours is about 20 ft down a hall and that's OK. Hard to make a fan that is quiet and still puts out the volume that this one does -- you can feel the breeze from it 30+ ft away!
