How loud is the unit when it is in operation?

It's loud. The larger one is much more quiet, but there's a significant increase in price.

well describing loud is kinda hard but being a centrifugal fan helps it to be quiet, I think the only noise you hear is from the air being blown out. the motor itself you don't hear.

I have 2 of them for my kennel and on a level of 1 to 10 I would say a 3, 10 being really loud

It is not loud, but there is a little fan noise that goes along with it, so it is kind of a quiet white noise. Larger units may be a bit louder.

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..

There is an audible click sound when the unit powers on/off, I don't know that I would call it loud, but that's my opinion

It is not real loud. Loud enough to hear if you're in the same room, but not "smoke alarm" loud.

It's def louder than a portable generator. If you start it up and don't hear it, you better go check on it. Having said that tho, I don't mean to say that it is distractingly noisy, just that you're going to hear it running.

It's not quiet. I used a sound level meter to compare it to a couple other units and it's literally 10-20 times louder. The sound it makes is also particularly annoying.

We haven't used it since last summer so I don't remember but I don't remember it being super loud, it's just a little guy....It's supposed to be 60's here this week so I'll pull it out again and let ya know.

It is not loud at all. About the same volume as a regular room heater or fan.

not loud at all. I used it in an office setting and it didn't disturb anyone.

It is somewhat loud. The higher the setting, the louder. I use it in my garage and it works well.

It is still fairly loud. The lower setting isn't too loud but if you really want to move things, you'll probably need it on the higher setting and it's noticeably louder.

It is not very loud at all. If fact it is only a tad louder than popping the top off a soda can.

Reasonably loud. We can still hear it if we are downstairs while it is upstairs if it's quiet in the house. It uses a repeating double beep pattern.

It is very loud. When it failed about a year after we bought it the repairman told us many people believe the machine is broken when it is making a normal amount of noise. Many problems with this unit, which I chose because it was the lowest cost model at Lowe's.

You can hear it, but it's not too loud. Nobody should be yelling with it on. We have normal conversations in the kitchen with it running.

It's not super loud when it runs, but you can definitely hear it. However, when it starts breaking down a few months into use, it becomes REALLY loud.
