I have 2 questions: first does it have a hood, and second is the material noisy or stiff?

No hood. And not stiff at all, the material is super soft and pliable. Light to moderate material rub noise, but nothing unbearable or obnoxious.

The frame is metal; the blades and the blade housing are plastic. This fan is extremely loud, unless it is on low. Also, the piece that held the fan blades in place broke (also plastic), so I replaced it with one from an old fan that I had around that didn't work. That fixed the problem.

It is fairly heavy, hard plastic. When my guys go at it it is quite noisy on wood floor.

it isnt noisy or squeaky. i've had it since April and it's the same now as it was then. i'm only walking on it though, so running might make a difference. as for the incline, i never go above level 2. never measured it.

The one I purchased is not rough and noisy, but not as soft as cotton. With a sheet, you do not know it is there.

This isn't the one I purchased but if it's made out of the same material, polypropylene, then no, it's not noisy. Mine and my husbands is very quiet.

I guess so, it's semi water proof on one side and the other is a different fabric, I haven't tested it's stealth qualities, but I'm sure it will be quiet enough for you. It will be just as loud as your clothes.

It is not as quiet as wool. It is fairly soft and I would say it does not make much noise while walking. If you are thinking that the metal lining would make a noise, this is not the case. Nice jacket!

I did not find the fabric stiff. It is a fairly lightweight item and is not as soft as a traditionally quilted item.

I have one that looks like that also. It does not feel rough when I wear it around my neck. My buff saved my but at a marathon this weekend. I was able to wear it as a hood while running in cold temps and high winds on Virginia beach. I bought it more for function and less for looks and that is why I bout most of mine in solid colors.

It is not noisy. It is even quieter when you have a big load in it. Even though it is made of heavy duty plastic, you should refrain from overloading it so you do not break the tires. It is very handy and multipurpose cart.

Not quiet. Not even at low settings. It has a flapping type of noise but it is overall consistent. Can't keep it on while sleeping and I wouldn't keep it next to a TV either.

Not stiff. The back is mostly open, so my child never complained of bring too warm 30pm

It's more like a very small fan. I'd say it is relatively quiet. It's not a rattling sound or anything. I usually use mine at night so it's ready by morning.

It's not as quiet as cotton (which is pretty darn quiet), but it's very far from noisy; and does not at all sound like plasticky or crinkly stuff. To the extent it makes noise when you shift (which isn't much), it's like a soft whisper like leaves in a breeze. I can sometimes here my cats' footsteps as they walk across it.I use mine as the top bed covering rather than having a comforter or duvet inside it. Very happy with it - it's breathable so I don't get too hot.

It just sounds like a window fan. It's got noise but I don't consider it intrusive. And not high-pitched. Just a fan sound.

My came with a hood. Of course, i didn't know that until AFTER I ordered another hood separately...so, you just saved $30!
