Is this fan annoyingly loud? And would you buy it again?

I don't know how you plan to use it...I have it as a cooling fan on a lawn tractor. Can't hear it at all over the engine noise. It works great and I would definitely recommend it.

I have my fan mounted on an oil cooler inside the cab of my baja bug that I desert race with as well as it being my daily driver, and I cannot really hear it but then again I have no insulation in their head liner or anything so it is extremely loud in there with the engine noise as it is. As far as would I buy one again the answer is most definitely yes. it is a rugged fan that has been through a lot and keeps on going. I have recommended them to my friends that race as well as those that just have street driven Baja bugs

what are you using it for? I could hear it from under my hood inside my truck but only when I wasnt moving.

I have it on a 347 stroker engine so I don't hear it. I think it cools great for the engine. Yes I would buy it again.

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.

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.

Definitely quieter than the one I replaced, but it was humming loudly which is why I replaced. In general I would say it's average. Not nearly as quiet as my other bathroom fan, but not annoying either.

As others have said, it puts out a ton of air. It is certainly NOT quiet though. On low, it is probably about as loud as most other fans are on high, but the air movement is significant. You buy this fan to move a lot of air, not for silence. It is the kind of fan that you turn off after several hours and, only then, realize just how loud it was.

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've found the fan noise to be similar to other ultrabook-style laptops if I'm using it intensively. It's not excessively loud, but it is noticeable, especially if you're sensitive to higher frequency noises.

I don't know. I keep a fan running in the bedroom year round but this thing, even on it's low setting, was too loud. Even in the daytime it was quite annoying.... so I gave it to my son. I will not buy one of these (this brand) again. It seemed to be a good fan it was just ridiculously loud.

It's not that loud even on high. You could drill a small defect into a fan blade to make it louder but you cannot guarantee the noise type you get.

It's def louder than a portable generator. If you start it up and don't hear it, you better go check on it. Having said that tho, I don't mean to say that it is distractingly noisy, just that you're going to hear it running.

The noise from this fan is simply the sound of the air being blown, and it is louder than a cheaper/plastic fan because it is more powerful. This fan is not noisy in any other, annoying way - no rattling or clicking or other annoying noises I have experienced in the past with cheaper/plastic fans. This is just pure wind sound. Do be aware though, this is an industrial-strength fan so it is significantly more powerful -- and therefore the wind sound is louder -- than typical home fans. So it would not be ideal for a small space -- it is too powerful, will blow papers around, would be too loud if you're too close and trying to listen to something else. It's better suited for a larger space -- I needed it for a large space that is hard to cool in the summer, and it really makes a world of difference. It is exactly what I needed. So just keep in mind that this is a more powerful, industrial-strength fan and consider the space where you want to use it and whether you think it could help you or if you think it might be too much power for your needs. It is an excellent fan, and I am extremely pleased with it -- no complaints; it has rubber feet which helps keep it from moving around and which also helps protect your floor (if you have nice hardwood floors). I definitely recommend it if you are going to use it in a decent-size space.

Well, it is louder than our dishwasher but we have a super quite one. It doesn't bother us, sound about the noise level of a humidifier, small fan heater running.

It's a very noisy fan, even on #1. It moves lots of air, but makes too much noise for me. I'll try to control the speed of the motor sometime....

Its not a consideration. It's not as loud as my himidifier, not as loud as the air circulating through my ductwork, not as loud as the AC. I might put it on par with, I dont know what. I actually didn't notice the noise so I can't recall. I guess it can't be that loud.

Yes, the fan is pretty loud. I don't mind it because I have the oven on a stand in my basement and use it as a supplemental oven.

Hello Jerseyboy.The fan is a tiny bit noisy, as in you can definitely hear it. But its really hardly noticeable. The only time I notice the fan is when I first turn it on. but after the sound kicks in, you hafto struggle pretty hard to hear it. J. FisherReplicasUSA

I might just be so used to it running all the time that I just don't notice it but I would compare it to a regular fan on low. It not 'noisy' at all. It doesn't bother me or distract me from what's on tv, I don't need to turn the volume up on the tv when it's on. Hope that helps.
