It is not very noisy. I have owned several dehumidifiers and it is the quietest one i have had

I now have two of this model in my home. It is quite effective and pretty easy to use. Although, it is a little noisy. You get use to the sound, but definitely not something that can be ignored at first.

It isn't that noisy that u would not pay attention, but it is noisier that it should be but it is effective.

It is quite average. It is certainly not extra quiet but it also is not annoyingly loud.

yes it is very noisy. a high pitched (loud) whine. and it blows air out of the back (into your face, depending on your position) while you are using it.

It's not extremely noisy but not real quiet either. I have it mounted in my kitchen which is kind of medium sized so that might make a difference. It puts out alot of air though.

Ours is in an office laboratory with other noises as well so I can't really say if it's noisy. The only time I really hear it is when I open the door. Hopefully this helps with your decision.

About average PC noise. Definitely not quiet. It is best to put it in a remote place where you won't hear it. It's quiet enough for an office but not for a media/TV room.

Not bad at all. It uses a larger, slower fan to move the air (can kind of see the cut-outs for it on the right side of the unit in the picture). We use it in the garage to drive a noisy high-speed spindle, though, so noise hasn't been a concern for us.

It is not particularly noisy. It cycles automatically over a preset timed cycle that the operator sets. We have been very happy with this product..

I'd say it's fairly noisy but it's the nice kind of white noise that helps me sleep. I don't even notice it. I work nights and appreciate the fan noise that comes from the unit while I'm trying to sleep as it blocks out a lot of the street noises.

Not noisy at all. I use mine at 5am while my husband and two children sleep. Very quiet.

I don't have much to compare it against, but I'd say its slightly loud, but not too bad. If it is completely silent, it's very noticeable, but otherwise, its not too bad.

No, it is not very good. I don't use it. Only used it one time, it was not very good at keeping noise out. I am planning on giving it to a kid to play with.

It makes a fair amount of noise. I'm not sure how much, but at any rate, the guy beside my office is able to hear when I'm getting up or going to bed. But that's up to the thickness of your walls. I tend to deflate it like a 'regular' mattress (so it almost silently hisses) without the power pump when I wake up, so I haven't run into many problems.

It isnt extremely noisy but after a lot of use it starts to get louder. I wouldn't use it at the office because it gives off a whirling sound that some people find annoying. I like to use it at home when I'm watching tv where the only people around who I can bother are my roommates. Try it out though and see if anyone has a problem with it.

It is noisy but it's compact which outweighs that problem. I would rate it 7 out of 10.

It is not bad. We use it in a room with other ambient noise so we don't notice it at all. In a super quiet room you may hear it.
