The big question is how quiet is it? My wife wants it for her office desk and it needs to be silent on low speed

It's not silent, but it's pretty quiet. I think it would be hard to hear in an active office, and I doubt you could hear it through a cubicle wall. But this definitely a slight hum.

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.

It does not move a huge amount of air, but it does move air and it is basically silent. Maybe a hum, but in my home with normal noise levels, not noticable.

It is quiet on the lowest setting. I take phone calls for various clients and the phone doesn't pick up the noise. No one at my work complaints about hearing it.

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

Yes, it super quiet at the low speed. At the highest speed, it is not super quiet. It is a great fan, however.

It is not loud. It;s very quiet. You can hear it while using it but it would to disturb others in an office.

We run ours on low & it's in the far corner of the room, so in ours is very quiet. It depends on what speed you run it on & how far you are from it.

actually yes, not sure if it is fan or HDD but it is noisy, but as it leaves in my office I do not bother.It may be due to I set it for constant backups....

I'd classify it as quiet on low fan speed, moderate on high. I have no problem sleeping with the unit in the bedroom on low, or on watching TV in the same room, etc. On high, it's pretty noticeable in the same room, but inaudible elsewhere in the house.

It's pretty quiet, but I'm not sure how well it would work at the office. I bought it to tuck under my desk, but it slides around all over the wood floor, and the pedals are just high enough that I have to sit at a very awkward angle on my chair.

Not exactly.. but on a scale from 1 to 10... 1 being cant hear it all.. and 10 being can't concentrate at the same desk with it going.. It's about a 2... this is a very quiet fan in my opinion..

Compared to similar products this is relatively quiet on low speed which is adequate for our needs. The higher speed is a little louder. Background music can help to mask the sound.

It is not a very loud fan and does not have the same "whirring" sound as a regular desk fan. It is a bit quieter, but still makes noise. If your intent is for the same sound it probably will not sooth you.

Not as loud as a desk fan or similar. Run it in an apartment without much notice.

I guess it depends on how quiet your office is. I just asked my coworker who is about 15 feet away and she said that she could barely hear it.

We recommend using the BLSTPB-WBL on your desk, the noise level is not as bad as most, but loud enough none the less.

Hmmm, well I guess it depends how thick the carpet is. When I use it on the hardwood floor, it is quieter. I think it would be a bit loud for an office. The motor works harder when the carpet is thicker

For a big fan, the lower speed is quite quiet, but I would say it depends upon how loud your music is and how big an area the room covers. My rooms are small and I can sit in the kitchen with my laptop and radio on and I do not hear any noise from the fan in the next connecting room, and the fan is on middle speed.

at low speed it's very quiet. At medium I can hear it but it's not noticeable loud...at high speed you can hear it.....It's NOT disgustingly loud, but you can hear it.....I now have two and they are great for circulating the warm air ( I use it with our woodstove ) or to cool the place off.....
