How much noise does the unit make? I know my gas powered one is loud and usually I have to wait until I get home from work to run it. Don't like to.

Not too noisy. I posted a short video of the Snow Joe in about 8 inches of powdery snow on YouTube: http://youtu.be/cauUUHCOQLo

I wouldn't say this electric is noiseless but it is less noisy. The noise of a whining electric motor is how I'd describe the sound.

It's definitely on the quiet side - you won't have to worry about waking anyone up.

I'm happy with mine. It's actually fairly quiet for a gas fired backup generator. If you vent the exhaust away from your house, it helps. I really have no idea of the db level.

Mine is noisier than I would expect at times, but nothing that has caused me too much alarm. I thought I heard it click a few times, but so far nothing reproducible or any overheating.

Thanks for the feedback...as it turns out, the switch on the back of the unit was set for gas instead of electric. Once I flipped the switch, it started cycling properly. I agree that the click can be annoying, but hey, if it gets the job done, I can live with it. Thanks again.

We are using it in a salon atmosphere where blow dryers are going throughout the day, so I had not noticed if there was much "noise" coming from the unit. Also, we keep it in the back of the salon where it is coolest in the winter. It doesn't appear to be loud but yes, I can hear it blowing when I am close by. Being I'm not in a quiet environment I'm not sure this answer is going to be much help. Have a nice day.

The noise level is very acceptable, considering the fact that you have no electric.Solid generator. Bought mine 6 yrs ago, money well spent.

It is kind of noisy, but not in a loud way. We have it outside behind the shop and it pumps water to the front deck. When it's pumping, I can't hear it when I'm watering plants. It isn't an on-demand pump, it runs continuously.

No. It's in my office at work which isn't always the quietest spot but I've never once heard a noise from the heater. I also have the bigger version in my home tank and have never heard a sound from that one either.

The unit is loud with the fan and burner going. Also you have a confined space, where the outlet is pointed is of concern. Again confined space, air quality will be an issue, possibly lethal.

The unit itself does not make much noticeable noise. Ours is set up in our garage and is pretty much out of sight & out of mind. We have had no issues with the unit. No real instructions on how to set up when received though. Had to look up set up online on youtube.

Noise is different to each person; however I find it to have a normal motor sound which is not that loud. I run mine in an enclosed garage, checking on it periodically.

Our motor is very loud for about 5 minutes and then we can hit the unit and it goes back to it's normal quiet state. I think the motor is about to burn out, but hitting it seems to work for now. We were out of warranty when it began, so I never pursued a fix.

On the two highest settings it can be loud.Easy solution is to turn the unit on either the highest setting or Auto about an hour prior to going into the room.At that point you can put it on the first or second settings overnight and it shouldn't disturb you.I leave it on Auto and sometimes it will cycle into high while I'm sleeping but that no longer bothers me.Effective machine the easier breathing makes the noise issue tolerable.

Mine isn't noisy at all. And mine works awesome and is well worth the price. Just bought mine used do I didn't spend the money a new one would be. Maybe it's clogged ?

I did until it began making so much noise. I am a therapist and do not want the background noise. Now I run it at night when no one is in the office.

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.

I don't remember it being loud, just a little motorized noise. You should return it and have it replaced if it's loud! Good luck!:)
