Is it super noisy -- as in, how tolerable would it be indoors?

It is a lot less noisy then most of my kids toys, low rumble. Fine for in door use with out losing your hearing.

Tolerable...definitely not the same noise level as a real chainsaw. My son uses it indoors all the time and it hasn't driven me crazy...yet. :)

This is totally subjective, obviously. :-) We don't mind it, but we live in a big house with no neighbors, so we're not that sensitive to noise. It is not really loud IMHO, and the noise isn't really obnoxious (like a fire engine, etc.). I would say if you live in a small space like an apartment with thin walls you might think twice, or if you are the type of family that asks your kids to use their "inside voices" a lot. I think the only time it would get annoying is in the very beginning if your child just won't put it down and plays with it constantly. But since that would likely be short lived anyway, meh. It's a toy that makes noise, but I've never been bugged by it and my son usually plays with it inside.

I didn't think it was all that noisy, sounds are repetitive though. I bought it for my nephew.

I wouldn't say that it is super noisy, but the noise is very much like a real chain saw, just taken down a few notches. I prefer that my son plays with it outside where he can pretend to cut down trees!

We have not had problems. We use ours outdoors, so we may not notice noise, like you could if indoors. We have had ours for 3 years and would buy another.

Not noisy at all. I use mine at 5am while my husband and two children sleep. Very quiet.

It is not intolerable. Not as noises as my over the stove vent. I generally have the tv on while in the kitchen so I hardly notice it. The benefits outweigh any noise for me. It is not an issue. Just sounds like a fan.

It is kinda noisy. I have it in my dining room and not bedroom so have not tried to sleep with it on. Noise depends on the level of diffusion that it is set to.

It is high pitched. Blends in well in a living area, but I wouldn't want it in a bedroom.

I have mine in my office and I do not have any problems with it being noisy. Maybe the others don't have it balanced right, or the back is too close to the wall. But mine is very quiet. I hope this helps.

not loud at all. I would use it indoors if we had a room big enough and tall enough

No, I think you would be ok. It does make noise and vibrate, but it does not bother someone in another room. At least that is the experience in our home.

It is not that noisy. I've never had a complaint. Audio feedback: yes, too loud: no.

I do not find it to be noisy at all...when you plug it in, there is a startup noise similar to a computer starting...that is all. I love this machine!!!

Quite noisy - we moved it to the basement from the living room. I can't compare to a window AC but it is noisier than a central air. Although it is the proper size for our house, it ran continuously to achieve a 45% humidity for our house.

Hi, It really depends if the noise bothers you or not. In terms of mini fridges it is on the noisy side, however it never actually bothered me and it's in my bedroom. A friend of mine complained once when sleeping right next to it so I muffled it by putting an unused bedsheet in between the fridge and the wall. So bottom line, it makes noise when running its cycles every so often, but it's by far not unbearable and it can be muffled

On low you might be OK, depending on your level of tolerance for such noises. On high it's quite loud -- louder than I would want to be in the room with for long. It moves a ton of air and it's very well made, but on high a lot of air equals a lot of noise.

It is not really noisy, but you can kind of hear it a little bit, don't think it would be a problem.....just kind of a hummm.

It is really loud. but if you use it in a big room - like a bedroom - and close the door - not so bad. but if you use it in the bathroom - which is usually small - and close the door, you can hear the noise in like the whole house. but the noise is the only negative

Mine is noisy, but kind of a white noise. If I had it in the bedroom, it would not bother me, but I like that type of noise to be able to cover for other random noises from outside. It is most definitely NOT a quiet unit, though.
