How loud is this? On a scale---1 being silent and 10 being extremely loud, what would you give this?

It's no louder than most. It works great though. I've used mine for cooling in the summer and air circulation at all other times. I don't find the nose bothersome for sleeping, but I want white noise anyway. Id say it's a 6.... but most probably are a 5 to 6.

2-3. It gives my bedroom some white noise to cancel out any other noises outside which lets me sleep better.

I would say about a 6 or 7. I guess I expected it to be loud because my last portable was loud. I use it in a large room so i have to use fans to move the air, the fan on it is not too powerful. If you are using it for a small room it should be ok.

Mine is extremely quiet! I did go into the settings (via the browser) and set it on quite mode to achieve this level of quietness.

Hi. I haven't installed it yet. But as soon as I do, I'll let you know. I'm hoping it is quieter. It may be another couple of weeks (mid-August) before I get it installed. Thanks! Stay tuned.

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.

It is not loud, but there is a little fan noise that goes along with it, so it is kind of a quiet white noise. Larger units may be a bit louder.

Its not loud at all - I have it in my living room where my TV is as well and it barely makes more than a bit of a very light hum when it's running (I use the auto setting so it kicks on periodically when it needs to and usually in a low mode although once in a while higher). I can barely just hear it when there is nothing on like a tv or radio and sometimes miss it all together if I am focused on what I am doing. Can't hear it at all with the TV on.

Shouldn't be that loud or, going off that frequently. You can perhaps turn the temp a little? I had one unit that made noise, but the new one is pretty quiet.

It is between a 1 and a 2. I have not used it in a quiet classroom environment so there has been other noise going on around it. Hope this helps

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.

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 would definitely look for quieter fan. Scale of 1-10 . 10 being loudest. This fan would be a 7. You can insulate it and make it quieter. There is some really quiet fans out there. Most people use these in attics or in an insulated box. Google it and there is alot of info out there.

It is still fairly loud. The lower setting isn't too loud but if you really want to move things, you'll probably need it on the higher setting and it's noticeably louder.

it was pretty loud. Yet I was not using it for the living room I was using it for the bedroom. If your living room large it might not be loud enough. I think it is more for a bedroom or a smaller room.

It's quiet but not silent - depends on how quiet your house is and how good your hearing :-)
