THe information does not say how many Sones (sound level) it is rated for. How loud or rattle-y is this?

I don't think it's that loud . Its not whispering quite but not annoying loud either . It's nice and I feel well worth the price . .

No rattle here. I would return it before it gets worse. And a refund will be harder to get the longer you wait!

Bought this for a friend - description says the loudest is 110db - don't know what the lowest is, but I believe there are five choices - anyway, my friend says it's very loud - several times he's been sitting outside in his car, and heard it from the kitchen (on the opposite side of his house) - his car door was open and his house door was also open - he also says he was inside his pump house (water) and heard it from inside his kitchen (door closed) which would have been between 40 and 50 feet away - he loves it - the switch on the water pump needs replacing, must be turned on/off manually, and he's let the tank run over a few times because he didn't hear his old timer - BUT NOT SINCE HE'S HAD THIS TIMER!

TWO. BUT my opinion is that this units are too loud to use in a living space if you want quiet. These units are best suited to a room that is already loud..ie..active rec room..a loud work shop in a garage or basement. If your space is peaceful..don't add these..and certainly not two in the same space. Also..be warned. The vendor...charged me for the shipping return.

I bought the same theater - the rattling is horrendous. I ordered a replacement and it was just as bad. I have seen three of the subwoofers do it and I'm confided it's a flaw in the design. I'll have to return the speakers and buy a different brand.

Depends on where it is used. In the garage it isn't bad, but in a bedroom it will seem louder. Hope this helps.

They say it is 68 or so dba. I have had quieter and louder. Hope that helps.

One other comment to add. I read where one person said it was loud. Mine is relatively quiet...much quieter than an up right.

This fan is absolutely quiet when running. In fact, I have had to go up on the roof to make sure that it is running after the last hail storm (it was OK). Very high quality unit. I don't know about Sone ratings, but I suggest the 30 watt over the smaller one. Hope this helps!

there are 3 levels... if you put it on lev 1 or even maybe 2, i doubt it. i can barely hear it when its on lev 1

The product description says 0.5 sones. My description is it's really, really quiet ... So quiet that you have to be careful not to forget to turn it off.

No, it should never rattle! I think it depends as to whether you can hear a SMALL background whine or not. Mine is fine on the low speed, but has a very high-pitched background whine on the high speed. My husband can't hear it, but I can't stand it! Is yours still under warranty? Sounds like they should exchange it.

I have never used 'sones' but this fan is pretty quiet even on high. Sometimes it reminds me of the waves crash at the shore when your 1/2 distant, When you say '6 sones or more' are you looking for a noisy fan? The 70 dB answer can't possibly apply to this fan.

For a bedroom, the On-Q AU7394 plays loud enough. I bought two units and both were installed in a bedroom and believe me it's loud enough. We never have to put the volume to its max.

The voltage is up to about 18 volts I recall; the higher the voltage the louder the tone. One probably would be happy with the sound level obtained with 12 volts. I tested it but have not installed it yet. I either never had any instructions or have misplaced them.

I had 2 of these. 1 was louder than the other on high setting, so I moved the quieter 1 to the bedroom. Overall not loud enough to bother me.
