In a small confined space and noise is critical. If this fan is noisy, what fan moves 500cfm+ and runs quiet?

Not sure, but I know there are some that advertise quiet fans but you cannot move 500 cfm without some noise.

This fan and all the ones I know like it are loud-that's a lot of air coming through so there is wind noise and fan noise.

I agree with David Moore, The only one that I had noise from was mounting to the rafters on a 1 foot 8 inch tube. I think the bungee cord is a good fix. I must also say, I have two of these fans. The other one also mounted on the rafter with a very short tube and it runs quiet and smooth.

if you want a super quiet fan, this might not be the one. I was able to dampen the noise by having a 4' piece of 8" duct work (on fan exit side) to "muffle" the exit noise, and hung the fan on rubber bungee cords. they do make super quiet fans, but expect to pay a very premium price (300.00+ for an 8" fan).

There is a fan and it is extremely quiet. The unit can be set to oscillate or operate in a stationary mode. It is quiet when operating either way. Please be aware that the size of your room to be heated is an important factor in determining your comfort.

The fan on low is crazy loud on our 6 month old unit and when the compressor kicks in you can hear it on the other side of our small building. It is in a small 5 by 7 room with a closed door to keep some computer equipment cool so the compressor runs rarely, but the fan is loud enough to hear down the hall and in near by offices on that side of the building..

Fan runs only when needed. I have 2 units and both are very quiet even with fan running.

The fan is very quite on the low setting. I can have it in a meeting room without distrubing anyone. When you get to the faster settings, it does get louder. It is very handy.

The Honeywell C060 has a high volume fan it moves over 1500cft/min. Even at low speeds, it can move more air than your average house fan. I know of no way to reduce the air movement without changing the fan. But if you do that, you've lost the efficiency, and defeated the purpose, of the C060. Good luck.

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

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.

all depends on how much noise you want, it can be soft or it can be a little noise, it is not a loud fan, even on high

Barely audible, u might hear a slight fan buzz in a very quiet room. Runs very quiet, 3 small fans do the work perfectly

Quite noisy - we moved it to the basement from the living room. I can't compare to a window AC but it is noisier than a central air. Although it is the proper size for our house, it ran continuously to achieve a 45% humidity for our house.

Yes This fan is moving a lot of air. There are smaller fans designed for low noise.

The fan doesn't make much noise. Depending on the temperature setting, the fan makes a low "quite" hum.

the fan operates at 200cfm at high speed with a mouth of 4"diameter. You may use any filter but suction may reduce on type.This is a trial and error depending on your need.

I would definitely look for quieter fan. Scale of 1-10 . 10 being loudest. This fan would be a 7. You can insulate it and make it quieter. There is some really quiet fans out there. Most people use these in attics or in an insulated box. Google it and there is alot of info out there.
