Does it make noise? I know most fans do make loud noise during high speed...i heard this is better that other fans with respect to noise.

It has a "sleep mode" which is very quiet. Overall, the fan does make some noise but nothing like other fans I've purchased in the past. I LOVE this tower fan!

Well, there is a certain element of noise as the motor works to turn the fan, but it's a white noise, a quiet noise if you will. There are certainly no ticking or whizzing or whining noises. I put it on and forget it's going. I've been quite happy with mine.

No more than any other fans. It just makes a swooshing sound at high speed. You won't even notice it after a while. It will get swallowed-up with other sounds like with your TV or music.

This fan is really quiet -- although I use it in the workout room with some rather loud music... love the fan though...

As long as your fan is clean, there really shouldn't be much noise under different load mods. I haven't heard that the fan is an issue.

I don't think it's noisy at all. The only noticeable sound I can recall of comes from the fan, still quite discrete.

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...

Never noticed a fan problem. I can hear it, but it's quite minimal (and I'm sensitive to noise).

I have only had the unit one night, but the fan noise does seem a little loud. Which is unfortunate because I kept reading how quiet it is and that is one of the main reasons I bought one. Not sure if it is just my unit, or if this is just how normally loud it is for others? Also, my fan ALWAYS seems to be running, even if I am not pushing it hard at all.

No but if you play games with high settings the fan sound because needed to cool down the graphic card. If you only you to play movies or use office the fan doesn't make any noise

I can't answer in decibels (the only objective measure) but - at the lowest speed, in a 10x15 room, it's innocuous and easily ignored. Middle speed, more assertive. The highest speed is the loudest *but* is less noisy than the large standard sized dual window fans that are sold at retail, and the fan moves more air. I think for the volume of air it moves that this fan is fairly quiet.

I think the fan is about as silent as it gets. I have noticedno noise whatsoever. You do have to keep the vents on the back clear or it will heat up way too fast. I use mine primarily for MusicReader software for performance and I am happy with it. That said it isn't TOTALLY silent, but mine is very close.

Yes you will hear this fan, it's Not completely quiet. Of course the higher the speed the noisier.

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....

the fan does run continuously but at very low speed, if you are playin demanding stuff you can click the boost and it goes to 11... but its not really loud, considering the speakers you can cover the fan noise at 30-50% volume... theres no reason really to turn the volume up more, but also it will take hot exhause and get the output to cool in around a minute...

Well this question would depend on a personal feeling of what is noisy so I'll do my best. I took this product with me camping. When camping it's obviously totally quiet except for bird sounds and such. The fan was on since it was hot. The low mode is VERY quiet and I think anyone would agree. The high mode gives more substantial cooling effect and I was surprised it wasn't louder. So by my scale the high fan function is about a 4 or 5 out of 10 on the noisy scale. I think you'll be impressed.

the fan isn't always at max, but when it is (seems like random) its unbearably loud. I returned mine.

I found it to be no noisier than any other fan of this type. I would say unless you are driving a 1980 Ford, it is most likely more noisy in the high speed setting than the fan in the car ventilation.

I usually do not notice any fan noise. Once in a while you'll notice it briefly, then its right back to silent.
