How loud is it on a 1-10 scale?

Maybe a 6. It's not smoke alarm loud. That would be a 10 plus. But if you are seriously looking for a lost item, it should be adequate.

Well it's not THAT loud, but it is loud enough to hear it from about 10 to maybe 15 feet away. But it is a pretty subtle loud noise that could be soothing once one has gotten used to it.

Not at all too loud. It's very quiet. But remember the duct tape for covering those HOT metal arms.

I keep it close to my bed too .... Less than 5 ft away .... And it's nearly silent! So if 1 is not loud and 10 is extremely loud .... I would give it a 2 or 3 if I am being super critical. Hope this helps! It's a great product.

Certainly loud enough (at least for me). I have it at about 2/3 volume when talking on it. (Great piece of kit BTW).

As far as actual decibel level, I couldn't give you an exact figure but I can assure you that it is one of the quietest fans I have. I actually wish it were just a tad louder because I sleep with a fan that drowns out noise that may wake me. On high, you can hear it, but nothing like your typical house fan or oscillating fan. I hope this helps.

I would say a medium level of sound. I've had quieter and louder than this.

Compared to 360, on a scale from 1 to 10 where 10 is as noisy as 360. I give it one :)

I don't know the exact decibel level. It makes noise but I have not found it terribly loud. You wouldn't want to use it near when anyone nearby was sleeping.

The product description says 0.5 sones. My description is it's really, really quiet ... So quiet that you have to be careful not to forget to turn it off.

It's not loud for sure. I really like mine. It may have a little noise but it's soothing and honestly I don't notice it.

It's quite loud. If you are looking for a quiet model this may not be for you.

Because I had nothing better to do just now I measured it with my sound pressure meter. It is between 76 and 77 dB C weighted at 1 foot. In other words, not super loud. About the same as what you might hear from a UPS unit on your computer when the power goes out. Then again when the power goes out the house gets pretty quiet so it is easy to hear a floor away.

On high it is probably around 45 - 50 decibels. Loud, but not as loud as other units I have been around. We typically run it at the middle setting unless it's a really hot and muggy day and it is tolerable. I don't need to turn the tv up.

On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the noisiest, I'd have to give it a 4. But, I've never used it in my car, or other enclosed space. It doesn't cause you to need noise muffling head phones, but it's not whisper silent, either.

I personal don't think its loud, its kind of a mumm.... I am very satisfied with is unit, does a good job.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I would say it is somewhere between a 5 and 6. You really couldn't hold a telephone conversation while it is on. It isn't as loud as my dishwasher, but louder than I expected.
