how loud is this fan?

It is not loud at all, but awkward to use and doesn't sit on a flat surface well. It is a bit unwieldy.

It's not whisper quiet. I have it in my living room and am able to hear it in my bedroom with the door open (not a huge house). We run it off and on throughout the day and continuously through the night. It doesn't make an annoying noise but it would say it is as loud as a box fan.

It is pretty quiet. It sounds like a quiet fan blowing. Nothing more than that.

It is a little noisy but it was never enough to bother me. I was using it mainly for a teapot and I would say the fan was never louder than the boiling water.

It is very quiet on low. I have it running all the time and it sits on the other side of my small den, and I can't even hear it running. On medium, and high, yes it gets fairly loud, but I rarely have to put it on high. It is a great air mover, and will blow everything off your desk if on high. You can't go wrong with this fan. In fact, I am about to buy another for my bedroom.

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...

If it's on low you can barely hear it, but on high it's kind of loud. It doesn't bother me, but if you're sensitive to noise, you might find it irritating. Great fan though. I've had it for a while and it's working perfect.

Unit has three different fan speed settings to help with noise. But my opinion is no, unit is not excessively loud. It is in my bedroom, I sleep with it on low.

Can't count the decibel level but it's not noisy. Relatively quite for the amount of air it's pushing. I'm not a rep but I hope this helps. I think it's a great product IMHO.

About as loud as a small compressor. I have it running a vacuum table inside and I can hear it a little from the next room with the door closed.

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 a 4" fan, and it isn't completely quiet. It makes a sort of 'white noise' kind of thing. Not very problematic, unless you're looking for total silence. It is definitely not a problem for me, and I have it right next to me on a nightstand.

It is about as "loud" as my desktop computer. All you hear is a slight "breeze" coming from the motor's fan. It isn't bothersome at all.

On the low setting its barely audible. Even on the high setting its pretty quiet. MUCH MUCH quieter than a fan with "hard" blades.

This fan is in it's second season in a small storage shed. During the summer it runs 18/7 as I have a thermostat on it. Shuts off when it cools. It is about the loudness of a ceiling exhaust fan. Best answer I can give.

On high speed it is pretty noisy,but not more than a bladed fan. I'm pretty sensitive to noise so maybe it's me. On low it is just fine
