Does it produce enough noise to act as "white noise" to help drown out other sounds?

It's a bland noise that I don't normally notice, but doesn't drown out other sounds nearby.

I would say yes. It's a small fan that has to go fast to push a lot of air, so there's a decent amount of wind noise. The motor itself seems quiet.

I'm not sure I understand the question. I can watch tv and hear OK when it's running. Not terribly noisy. Hope this helps. Kathy

It may mask some of the noise if run on the high setting, but I don't think it will drown out the sounds.

No - but it's quieter and works better than any other air filter I've had. If you don't mind a little white noise, it's fine.

It's not loud enough to block out yelling I'm sure. But it does reduce random noise-for example my apt is just next to the elevator on my floor and it drowns out the "ding" & muffled voices of people in the hallway.

I am not sure about that. It seems to do a pretty decent job but I think mostly the white noise helps the boy sleep, and that's worth it to me.

White noise is one of several choices for sound. It turns on with a simple combination on/off and volume knob. It stays on until turned off.

It does make white noise but it is not obnoxious. It works really well if i leave it off overnight i can tell in the morning.

It does when it's on high. I sleep with it on low and it help's me sleep because I like the white noise it creates.

If you use it for white noise it would be pretty good. If you need it quiet to sleep and just want the air, this might not be for you. It's not crazy loud, but it does make a little noise.

No, not unless very high volume. It just makes it less likely that you would be awoken by small noises when asleep.

Nope! If you have a white noise machine in your child's room you can hear it over the monitor. However, you'll still be able to hear any sounds your child makes over any noise coming through by the white noise machine.

I don't hear it unless the room is absolutely quiet and I'm listening for it. If anything, the noise is akin to white noise, so it's not at all noticeable.

It helps eliminate noises, but does not block all noises out. Plus it only works for the peson who has it in the room, so if you are trying to block out your noise so the neighbors dont complain or hear, then you need to buy some ear phones and be more respectful.

Yes. It gives off a sound loud enough for you to hear in the next room but it is not an annoying sound.

Sort of. There is a trick I use to do just that. I have the unit alarm using the radio. If you turn the station to an unused frequency and minimize the volume the white noise produced is so low you will never hear it.

I believe it would. I use it to block noise from outside, and the sound of television or music downstairs. It works great for me. You can adjust the sound to be either a higher or deeper sound so I would think it would work to block out a low deep noise. I love it and bring it everywhere I go!

I know exactly what you mean. Yes, I think it would be the white noise you are looking for. It's not loud, but makes some noise.
