Is this air purifier loud? Especially when running at night?

This air purifier on low is whisper quiet at night, no worries. We do throw a cloth over the lights, as they are more bothersome than any noise this makes. Crank it up to medium or high, and the noise is noticeable.

If the fan is turned to high, it can be as loud as a box fan. When one of us takes a nap on the couch, we turn ours up to high because we are used to a box fan at night. Hope this helps.

I don't remember it being loud per se, I just remember it would not shut off, so I brought it back- the controls would not respond to input

It has three fan settings. The first level is pretty quiet.After that it sounds like a small house fan.

On the low speed setting you can hardly hear it. Medium level is soft and soothing. Much more quiet than my room AC.

I have not really noticed a noise, but I also use it for the most part in a room that always has an air filter running. I would have to try it out in a "silent" room to be certain. Like the others said, I am sure Amazon would replace it for you!

Mine runs moderately loud and I can feel the air coming out. I keep it on high almost constantly, but it really has a hard time keeping the humidity level up even on high,it is better than none at all though.

It's not very loud. I sleep with the ceiling fan on and this thing too, and sometimes I can't tell if it's on. The fan is basically what you would find in a computer tower so the noise is minimal. A slight humm if anything

I think turbo setting is the loudest. I have mostly used the "general" setting and that's pretty quiet (similar to a table top fan on the lowest speed). I live in a studio and my refrigerator is probably noisier than the fan on the air purifier. The other settings are a bit louder than the general clean setting, but not as loud as turbo, so you can probably sleep with those settings if you're used to the "white noise."

Are you referring to the amount of noise it makes when its running? My unit is in storage for the winter, so I cannot measure for you, but I can attest that it is no louder than the average window unit.

It's not silent, obviously, and I don't have any other generators to compare it to, but to me it seems relatively quiet. When I run it out on the driveway about 8 feet from the garage with the exhaust pointed away, I can't hear it in my house unless I go upstairs to the room directly over the garage. Even then, it's not particularly loud. I certainly don't need ear protection when I'm standing next to it. There are some videos on youtube you can listen to, such as: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqIPeDCumrY

It's noisy, less than say a lawnmower but more than my 5 hp wet dry vac. I use it in my driveway. It's not just the noise of the motors but the noise of the air hitting the car. I don't think enough noise to annoy neighbors but I would not use it at night due to noise.

It's not whisper quiet. I have it in my living room and am able to hear it in my bedroom with the door open (not a huge house). We run it off and on throughout the day and continuously through the night. It doesn't make an annoying noise but it would say it is as loud as a box fan.

Yes, even on low it is loud, from the fan blades pushing the air. It registers on my decibel meter at around 50 decibels at where I sleep. I use it to drown out the neighbors annoying yapping dog at 2am. As well as cats that fight outside my window. It moves tho a impressive amount of air.

I do not hear any significant noise from my Blueair purifier except when the fan is turned on to the highest or second highest speeds. At these speeds, you can hear the fan, but the noise is still much less than most purifiers which I have had.

You will hear a small bubbling noise from the filter, however, the air pump is usually just as loud. So all-in-all, I would say, not very loud.

Relatively. I use it in an outdoor office, so I'm not very sensitive to its sound, but I haven't noticed it being overly loud when it's running.

I have a pretty loud air-purifier and computer as well, and the AT2020 does a good job of not picking up those ambient noises quite well! Most of my recordings are whisper quiet in the background. Hope this helps!

It's a little loud. U can tell it's running. We use it right outside our bedroom door and it does not keep us awake at night.

No I don't think it's overly loud. I use it alot and the hum doesn't bother me. In NYC I have more noise with the windows open. I am very happy with this model.
