How loud is this blower? I need to replace the one on my wood stove. Would it make watching TV in the same room difficult?

It isn't too loud, we do turn up the volume a bit but the wood stove is still less noise than when the lp furnace blower kicks on.

no. but u can hear it running. heats room up faster. if u want looks don't turn on. with it on it heats room up a lot faster.

It is surprisingly quiet. The one on my wood stove is more quiet than the original 4c447 blower. I do not find it annoying while watching TV and it is only a few feet away.

We replaced our original blower with this one. We placed it about 16 feet from the tv and unless you are sitting right next to the blower the tv doesn't need to be turned up.

Hey,I ended up buying the WDEUBK10000N. So far no issues. It's build seems to be able to take more "abuse" then my last one which looked more like the WDH1U. It's quiet enough; I had to actually put it to my ear to here to see if it was on. Not sure on the temp because I don't keep it running all the time.

It's pretty loud; you probably wouldn't want it in the bedroom or near your tv. On the other hand, the air that comes out is cool -- a first for us, and a welcome change from the first two that we had. So far, it's a good little workhorse that doesn't heat up the room it's in.

We keep ours about 2 feet away from the TV and it does not bother us; I might notice it when it is at its highest setting, but it doesn't disturb me, and I'm a person who dislikes noise. It makes a wind like noise, somewhat like a fan, but somehow less bothersome. Perhaps I just hear the "air flow" noise, not motor noise. This unit has different settings -- you can pick from any one of three flow levels, or let the machine pick the setting based on current air quality. So, if you find the higher settings too loud for you, you can put it on a lower setting. Wish I had a decibel reader so I could be more specific, but, alas, I do not.

Its honestly not as loud. Ive had this torch for about 3 months now, only thing to watch out for is to make sure the knob is COMPLETELY tightened otherwise the gas will leak out...found that out the hard way >.> but as for noise id put a plumbers torch at 8/10 and this torch a 5/10 for noise

You can barely hear it running and its a great heater. As far as your husbands sensitive to noise I think it would be a perfect match. This is how I will explain the noise to you . in the past when I would be watching t.v. when the heater kicked on I would have to turn up the volume but that's not a problem with this heater. I tried 3 different heaters before I found the lasko. The first one I bought was four years ago and its still working. Just bought another one in January and am very pleased with it as well. the thermostat is great and is one of the reasons I bought mine. Don't let the size fool you. it will heat up a master bedroom no problem. Hope this helps. You can barely hear it running and its a great heater.

It is way too loud for a bedroom. We installed in a huge garage -we have a t.v. in there and had to move it to a different spot in the garage because we couldn't hear the t.v. - It is great for our use but I don't think I would put in a bedroom unless you have a huge bedroom and don't mind the noise when you are trying to sleep.

The fan on medium and high speed are so quiet, it does not interfere with TV programming at all. I've used it many times while watching TV. The silence of the fan is one of the features I really like about this one. No annoyance to worry about.

The stove does not come with a blower, but is fitted for one.I believe they are about 100.00 dollars. If your trying to push the air nto another room it would probably help. We have an apartment with a loft, so with the hot air rising and our pushing it back down with a ceiling fan, we haven't needed one.

On low, it's not loud at all. Since it's a larger fan, it's a bit quieter than the small diameter ones. On the Hi setting, it may be a little loud for your purposes, but I haven't hunted much so am not sure what's considered loud for you. I still think it's worth a try for you for the price to get two of them...

It's too loud if you want to watch tv or have a conversation nearby. I move it from room to room and run it when I am not in that room.

I have it hooked up to a 50watt receiver and I haven't had any crackling or distortion and I get really loud when I'm listening to loud, heavy bass movies or music. Haven't had any over heating problems either during heavy use. Overall it does a great job in my living room. I wouldn't go trying to power a concert hall or an outside event. This is strictly close quarters, home situation, small back yard stuff.

It's about as loud as a vacuum. But being on the countertop puts it closer to your ears and kitchens are mostly hard surfaces. I find it uncomfortably loud so I keep a pair of inexpensive ear muffs in the cabinet over my Versa. Otherwise I am very happy with its performance as a smoothie maker.

Rather than a blower per se, it has a circulation fan. It can be heard from across the room but not overly noisy. Also a filter for that on the back of the unti can be washed time to time. On my second winter season with this unit and it is going strong and warms my loft nicely. Much prefer this over the forced air furnace.

Pretty loud...just like my old one. I got it mainly for the 'not so hot' HIGH heat. It's good in this area. I just turned it on so I could give you a good answer...it's loud. I'm still looking for one that is less forceful and less loud. The low heat is not loud at all and does a good job. With my thin hair I don't have to use the high heat very long before turning it to low heat. I do like this unit better than my old one...the regular high voltage one. Hope this helps.

I might just be so used to it running all the time that I just don't notice it but I would compare it to a regular fan on low. It not 'noisy' at all. It doesn't bother me or distract me from what's on tv, I don't need to turn the volume up on the tv when it's on. Hope that helps.

It's not too bad. I run it on fan speed of 3 which is plenty to humidify the house. I do have it in a room that is not normally occupied though. I don't think you'd want to have it sitting next to you in your living room or bedroom. We have a wood stove and this unit is well worth a little humming noise to generate some humidity in the house. We love it!
