How noisy is this fan? Do the blades make a lot of noise?

I think its fine we use it in our fish house and leave it on 24 hours and I sleep right through it.

Very quite. With road noises and any audio, this is typically not heard at all (even with no audio, noise is minimum)

The noise level is based on how fast you set the fan. On the lowest setting it is pretty quiet. Even on the highest setting it isn't that loud.

Hello Jerseyboy.The fan is a tiny bit noisy, as in you can definitely hear it. But its really hardly noticeable. The only time I notice the fan is when I first turn it on. but after the sound kicks in, you hafto struggle pretty hard to hear it. J. FisherReplicasUSA

I would say it's definitely not quiet. And for me, has gotten louder after a season of use (I now have vibration noises).

Mine is not quieter than my fixed blade fan of equal size, and in fact is slightly noisier as there is a tiny bit of internal "rattle" sound from the device itself as you can tell its not perfectly balanced (not the stand on the desk, as it has very nice rubberized feet).

In my opinion, it's not noisy. I think it's more quiet than a window AC. I really like the hum of the motor, and it doesn't bother me at all.

The only loud part of this fan is when you adjust the angle, other than that it's very quiet. We have used ours at weddings, graduations among other events that with out them we would have suffered. I hope this helps you.

Kathy, We used ours in the kitchen and although it is not totally quiet, it is reasonable and acceptable. I have been impressed with the quality of the fan. Pw

It's relatively quiet for a fan. Anytime you have fan blades moving air, you have a hum, of course, just from the friction with the air, but there is little to no motor sound. I find it quite steady and quiet.

This is a great fan! I bought it at the start of last summer. Also for use in my bedroom. It puts out an amazing amount of air, so you can have it run all night on low speed (there are 3 speeds). While on low, it's pretty quiet. On high, it's more noisy, but it doesn't rattle or vibrate. It's an acceptable level of white noise. However, I doubt you would need to have it on high.

Yes, this fan is plenty loud. I bought it because I like noise when I sleep. It fills that purpose.

Relatively quiet. It's definitely quieter than the last fan of similar build I used.

No, nothing like that. Just a consistent sound. Sort of like a window air conditioning unit sound, but it is constant, not like a fan where you can hear the blades vary

I haven't used this fan since last summer but I seem to recall that it makes a slight clicking sound. We use it on the front porch not in the bedroom so we haven't noticed any really annoying noises. It's pretty quiet.

Probably too noisy for routine use that close to conversation, TV, etc. Ours is about 20 ft down a hall and that's OK. Hard to make a fan that is quiet and still puts out the volume that this one does -- you can feel the breeze from it 30+ ft away!

It is not silent. There is a motor in the base that spins at high rmp forcing air through slits in the ring. It is considerably quieter than conventional bladed fans and the noise is constant. (no buffeting or ambient noise distortion)

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.
