How quiet is the fan?

My units have a fan hum when running, but nothing that bothers, even at night when I occasionally leave them running al night.

I have two of these units and they work well, BUT they are noisy! I use them in my workshop, so it doesn't matter, but for sleeping you might consider a portable radiator - very little noise. I preheat my bedroom with a noisy heater and at bedtime, switch to the radiator. Works for me!

I have all fans connected and would say it's fairly quiet. My video card fan is louder then the rest.

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

It is not silent, but is very quiet. The fan itself is 5", the blades are 4" in diameter.

average noise-don't annoy me-high fan is a bit louder but lower and medium are pretty quiet.

Ok, honestly, this is a very quiet fan. However on low, either with or without the oscillation, it is as quiet as 2 people speaking in a normal voice. For instance my TV at a 50 out of a 100, it matches the sound level. I use 2 of them in my room, when I sleep, and the sound level works for me. My alarm radio is more than loud enough to break through the sounds of both fans. It is not a VERY quiet fan, but quiet enough to sleep with.

The fan is very quiet. I almost did not buy this because someone wrote a negative review on the fan noise. This is not an issue at all.

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

Yes it's very quiet. The size of the fans means they're more quiet then the standard 2-3inch fans.

The fan isnt very loud at all, kind of a very low hum......used it camping about 2 weeks ago. We like it alot.

If it's on low you can barely hear it, but on high it's kind of loud. It doesn't bother me, but if you're sensitive to noise, you might find it irritating. Great fan though. I've had it for a while and it's working perfect.

About average noise when compressor is running quiet when just the fan is running

The fan is definitely not loud and is actually pretty quiet, but always runs. I have this in the bedroom behind the TV and definitely put it into sleep before bed because you can hear the fan. It would not bother me when awake even if on the desk next to me. The hard drive is amazingly quiet, possibly in part to the rubber grommet mounts.

This is one of the quietest fan I've ever used. I bought it because I saw my officemate had one it barely made any noise.

Very quiet. Can't hear it. There is an option for the fans to be low, medium or high. You can configure to your choosing. Great option.

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

It is the quietest fan I own. Very quiet. I have it clipped to the headboard on my bed. If my pillow is pushed up tight against the headboard I can hear the vibration of the fan motor. As long as there is a space between the pillow and the headboard I can't hear it. Aside from that, it makes a quiet humming sound that relaxes me when I want to go to sleep. Mind you I have it just inches away from my head. I would imagine that if you were six feet away you wouldn't hear it at all.
