Is this quiet for the bedroom, or does it make a tick tick sound that would disturb a light sleeper?

I really don't know if this timer makes a tick tick sound because I did not use it at all. I had problems with mine because it never worked right! I used it for my Christmas tree and was very disappointed.

It was quiet. The timer does not click, tick, or have an alarm. It's an internal timer. It was perfect for our office setting.

The mechanism is surprisingly loud for an outlet timer, but it is easily muffled by a fan or white noise machine though. If I did not sleep with a humidifier on, the timer would bother me.

I've never heard it make any noise. It's not in our bedroom though it's in a living room controlling a fish tank light.

It would depeand on what speed you had it on. I don't fine to be noise at all. though I do not have it in the bed room. on low speed it is very quite. although at any speed, I hardly notice that it is there. this is my second year with the humidifier, and one of the best buys in humidfiers I have made.

It does not make noise. My husband had a stroke & it is used on his side of our double bed. I do not notice it at all. It works very well both at absorbing fluid and not moving or moving out of place. I have washed it several times already and it has held up very well. I wash with cold water, gentle cycle and dry gentle. We live in the Seattle area so it takes too long to dry if just hung up. I have been very pleased with it.

Mine is quiet until it is under load. I use it as an alarm clock to wake the kids for school. Can't use it on weekends until after 9am.

That is correct, no ticking sound. For a lot of us who use that is a good thing since it can be distracting to the little ones. If you need the ticking sound, this timer is probably not for you.

There is just enough noise for the bedroom. Quiet but certainly not "silent'.

I do not hear it when I'm in the room with it, even watching quiet movies, but if I put my head next to it there is a minor mechanical noise - not a tick, but as though gears are moving very slowly (which I imagine they are) but again, it is VERY quiet and I *only* hear it if I am less than a foot away

It has a slight ticking / gear noise. I couldn't hear it until I was right next to it. A meter I had registered around 45 dB when placed right next to it.There is also a click when it changes that can be heard when you are in the room.

It is not silent but it is much less noisy then the unit it replaced. I can sleep with it near my nightstand so noise wasn't a factor for me. There are two noise levels, with the compressor on and when the fan is on alone. If you are very noise sensitive this may be an issue for you.

It is not silent and it is not noisy. You can easily hold a conversation while standing next to it. It is quieter than window air conditioners I've been around. If it is running next to the head of the bed while you are trying to sleep, there is no doubt you will know it is there. Will it annoy you? My wife is phonophobic and on low speed it didn't bother her: she described it as a white noise she could overlook.

I'd classify it as quiet on low fan speed, moderate on high. I have no problem sleeping with the unit in the bedroom on low, or on watching TV in the same room, etc. On high, it's pretty noticeable in the same room, but inaudible elsewhere in the house.

It is somewhat a timer...If you are maybe about 6 inches or so away from it you will hear a faint ticking noise but you can barely hear it.

It does make a slight humming noise, I don't consider it to be loud. It doesn't disturb me and I don't believe it will wake up your children! Hope this helps :)

Not super quiet, especially as it kicks on. But I haven't problem sleeping right through the noise! :-)

Quiet is a subjective term :) but I would say yes. We have it in our bedroom and noise has not been an issue.

Loud... Not suited for bedrooms if you're planning on sleeping. The fan makes a wobbling hum that is very distracting if you're a light sleeper or when you're waking up in the morning and want to stay up in bed just a bit more. The oscillating feature also makes its own noise, so you get 3 levels of noticeable noise.

They do make a very minor click sound. I wouldn't call it loud by any means, but if you're a very light sleeper it could be a problem. I do like that you can set the maximum volume of the alarm and that it starts quiet and works up to the max volume you have programmed. I've never had a clock that does that.
