This machine sucks. I would never buy it again. It leaks water, blows nothing at all, and yes it is loud. It's as loud as a traditional tall pole three wing fan on speed 3. Please don't buy. Waste of money. Honestly I think it should be sold at a dollar store.

It's louder than a fan and only works like a fan. Don't expect it to cool your room. I would rather buy a table fan than this. Waste of money.

The unit isn't super loud or super quiet. But you do hear when it is on. However I have slept with the unit just 2 feet away or less with no problem. The noise level shouldn't be a major concern. If it is than this type of air cleaner is not what you should be looking for to clean your air.

It sounds like a normal fan. It's not extremely loud, but it does make noise. It works extremely well. I have a one bedroom as well and I love it.

It's not super noisy but it's not whisper quiet either. I have mine in the living room, I don't know that it'd be good for running overnight in a bedroom. Also, I live in NYC and probably have a higher noise tolerance than people who live in rural or suburban areas.

I don't think it's loud at all. I've had it running 24/7 in my bedroom since I got it and it's pretty quiet. It's about the same noise as a window a/c or quieter. Hope that helps!

Mine is noisy, but kind of a white noise. If I had it in the bedroom, it would not bother me, but I like that type of noise to be able to cover for other random noises from outside. It is most definitely NOT a quiet unit, though.

I have only had the unit one night, but the fan noise does seem a little loud. Which is unfortunate because I kept reading how quiet it is and that is one of the main reasons I bought one. Not sure if it is just my unit, or if this is just how normally loud it is for others? Also, my fan ALWAYS seems to be running, even if I am not pushing it hard at all.

The best way for me to answer the question is to compare it to a ceiling fan. Compared that sound it is slightly louder. Not so loud that it can keep me from taking a nap on the couch. Hope this helps. We have been very pleased with the product.

This is a question that might be very personal. I consider the sound loud, but certainly not annoying. The machine works very well, so you have to consider if another machine that is quieter will work as well. Hopefully this answered your question.

It is not loud at all. I use mine in the basement while my family is asleep. I use it to cut brass and it is about as loud as a box fan on high power. You should be fine.

I need absolute quiet when I fall asleep. That being said, it is noisy for me; however, I learned if I turn it on prior to bed time, it won't make as much noise. I turn it on 30 mins before bedtime to get the machine warmed up.

I have two of these units and they work well, BUT they are noisy! I use them in my workshop, so it doesn't matter, but for sleeping you might consider a portable radiator - very little noise. I preheat my bedroom with a noisy heater and at bedtime, switch to the radiator. Works for me!

It's pretty quiet. I have it in my TV room and don't notice any noise...I don't have air conditioning anywhere in my house. I only use this portable one in one room and love it.

It's a little loud. U can tell it's running. We use it right outside our bedroom door and it does not keep us awake at night.

It's more like a very small fan. I'd say it is relatively quiet. It's not a rattling sound or anything. I usually use mine at night so it's ready by morning.

Ok, honestly, this is a very quiet fan. However on low, either with or without the oscillation, it is as quiet as 2 people speaking in a normal voice. For instance my TV at a 50 out of a 100, it matches the sound level. I use 2 of them in my room, when I sleep, and the sound level works for me. My alarm radio is more than loud enough to break through the sounds of both fans. It is not a VERY quiet fan, but quiet enough to sleep with.

Not loud at all. The machine is not a real great air filtering wonder. Air volume is low. Fan needs higher speed. I wouldn't buy it again.
