Is the fan noisy? Thanks!

No! On high setting, the fan is certainly noticeable in a quiet room whereas on low it is barely perceptible. But even high setting should not interfere with sleep for most people. My modern home furnace fan is louder than this heater on high setting. Low setting is barely perceptible. I was skeptical of this product when I first purchased a pair, and was even more critical upon arrival when they turned out to be much smaller than I expected. However, this little space heater has exceeded my expectations in output, circulation and economy. Regarding the fan, I wish it had a fan only option as they are quieter than the house fans I use in the summer to circulate air in my home. No!

Absolutely not. Obviously any fan makes some noise but this heater is quiet on both the lo & hi settings. We use it occasionally and primarily in our bedroom. It warms the room well and we both sleep with no noise problems with the fan.

Not at all. It is the least noisy of any fan heater that I've owned or that I've seen in other's houses. Can be used in any setting - office, bedroom, nursery, etc. - without being distracting.

There is a definite hum while the fan is on...it is not loud for me, however, I do hear it when I go to sleep and it does not bother me while I watch TV. It's a great fan! I would recommend it to anyone looking.

Mine is not even noisy, just a slight hum. Hint: If you have not purchased a remote control for your fan and you don't want hanging chains to control the light and the fan, you should get the remote before you install the fan. It is much easier to do the wiring of the remote transmitter (into the fan housing) before you install the fan on the ceiling.

It isn't a whoosh or a whine, it is more like a breeze. It is slightly louder than the PC fan. Mine is in the main part of my living space, and I don't really hear it unless I am trying to.

In my opinion it is very quiet. I was surprised by how much air such a quiet fan could move.

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

I meant that the fan is wind noisy. It does not rattle. The wind noise is not extreme, but other fans of the same size that I have without remotes are quieter.

No detectable noise and no fan that I saw. However, there are vents along the side so I'm guessing there is some kind of ventilation system to keep it cool. Whatever or however it does that, noise is not a factor.

"Very loud"? I owned two of these after trying out three different brands/models in the last five years, and both were average noise level of a desktop computer fan. I would say if the noise you're hearing resembles something louder than a desktop computer running, then some thing is up. Good luck!

It's pretty loud. Manufacture specs say 50dB, I'd say that just about right. It's about the same noise as one of the old box style fans.

quiet enough, but it is a FAN, if you can not expect total silence. The motor needs to turn:)

It's quieter than many other fans I found, but it's not dead silent. You can still hear the fan blowing.

It's more like a very small fan. I'd say it is relatively quiet. It's not a rattling sound or anything. I usually use mine at night so it's ready by morning.

Mine is relatively quiet; it only makes some mild fan noise when under heavy load.

If the fan to which you refer is the convection oven fan, the answer is no, it is not noisy. The unit appears to be well insulated from sound.

We have it in a small laundry room, so noise is not a factor. I just checked it and it is very quiet. Hope this helps.
