Well, the only time I really notice the sound is when everything else is silent

It is somewhat louder than the single fan in my new Mac Pro, which is almost inaudible. It's really pretty quiet, although I have no way to measure the actual decibel output. I do hear the hard drives within when they spin up, and also when they are accessing data. I am not bothered by the "noise" at all.

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.

Loud. The fan (only) is not bad, but when that compressor kicks in, it's noise. The unit is in a window about 7 to 8 feet from my bed.

It's not extremely noisy but not real quiet either. I have it mounted in my kitchen which is kind of medium sized so that might make a difference. It puts out alot of air though.

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

The only loud part of this fan is when you adjust the angle, other than that it's very quiet. We have used ours at weddings, graduations among other events that with out them we would have suffered. I hope this helps you.

Not that loud at all. Smooth light fan sound... Not sure about the lifespan though. Only had it for a month or two. Seems fine though.

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

It is not completely quiet but really, no louder than a fan. I love this little heater, it works well and it was so reasonable!

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

No, it is not extremely loud. But, it is inside a cabinet which hides that completely, and was why I liked that it had the fan for cooling.

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.

No, the fan isn't loud. The motor is loud, and annoying as hell. I found an awesome loud can with a quiet motor and it's perfect. Loud whoosh without the annoying, loud whine is what you're looking for.

Yes you will hear this fan, it's Not completely quiet. Of course the higher the speed the noisier.

Hello Jerseyboy.The fan is a tiny bit noisy, as in you can definitely hear it. But its really hardly noticeable. The only time I notice the fan is when I first turn it on. but after the sound kicks in, you hafto struggle pretty hard to hear it. J. FisherReplicasUSA

You can hear the fan for sure, but I don't find it overly loud or noisy. The fan under my microwave is 100 times louder... this is more like a small cpu fan....
