What is the sound level of this unit?

I have had this installed for 6 months now. It is typically used with a variable speed control in place of an on/off switch. It is an industrial strength fan. When it is running at full speed it is moving a lot of air, making it necessary to raise your voice a bit to talk over the noise. But it really airs out the room in a hurry. At low speeds, it is much quieter. The air noise is just a whisper, but there is still a noticeable hum from the motor.

I installed in a rental apartment so I don't hear it every day BUT when I tested it I remember it being quiet.

Sorry, Can't answer. Bought item to install and then sold house so no experience. Mfr says it is very low but no recallof value - or writing a review =G=

I was unable to install my Broan-Nutone 508 because I do not have enough room in the area which needs to be installed in. I'm sorry I wish I could answer the question better for you.

I would say barely. It won't sound like a booming sound system, more like a nice radio. It's less powerful when you pull out the plug. Ok for a picnic, less good for a party.

We did not compare it to an other sound meter. We measured the noise from a dehumidifier rated at 55 db, as we thought it was much louder than that, and indeed found it to be 81db.Repeat measurements were always at the same level, which allowed exchange to a more silent machine.Did not test at louder levels.

Not loud. You have to be within a few feet to hear it. If you install it on a different floor or in a location you don't frequent you probably will not hear it. Look elsewhere.

I don't know. I returned the speaker because of less than desired or expected sound quality.

I cannot say for 100% certain. It seems reasonably quiet (certainly NOT silent), but I'm running it in a server room with a couple of servers that kick out major decibels, so I don't have an accurate sense of this machine's noise level. Sorry.

Don't know the db level but I can say you can have a normal conversation when it's running. Really quiet for a compressor. I'm very happy with it

No, my unit does NOT make such a sound. I DO think it is faulty. Please return it, ASAP, but be sure you tell them why.

Not sure. More than enuff for average listening. If I have to crank it up because it is loud in the shop it drains the battery faster. If you don't care about the battery... It is ridiculous!!!!

I am unsure of the exact noise level. In comparison to the sound of the generators in my neighborhood during a blackout, I'd say that although it is loud, it sounds like all the others.

No idea. However I did some consumer research and it had the qualities I was looking for. I live in a small two story home. I like the system enough that I have one downstairs and another upstairs. Great sound for a small system.

I don't think the sound is low. The only problem with the sound is it's finicky. Sometimes it picks up a noise that's quiet and doesn't when the noise is louder. But it's really not a big deal. We love the unit overall and I did a ton of research.

I can't speak to the actual db level, however this compressor is extremely quiet. I can run it in my basement and not disturb my wife on the next floor up.

I don't know the numerical value to answer your question, but Ia can tell you....... it's not very loud at all. I bought this unit to hook into my Sony BluRay player for a movie set up. In a very small meeting room with 10 very silent people, we were straining to hear dialogue.

It can make a fairly loud sound. there is a volume control so you can adjust it level of sound.

Maybe the sound varies by device. The unit I have is NOT loud. It's actually softer than average. I use it only if I'm going to be in the same room with it.

If you set it on the lower and middle settings there is little sound. When it's time for cleaning you get more noise. This is my third unit.
