Would this be too powerful or noisy for use in a bedroom?

Yes. Too large and powerful for a room. It does say industrial and it is. Peace

Moves lots of air even on the lowest setting, not what I would call a quiet fan so yes too much for a bedroom in my opinion,
1265513
It's a very noisy fan, even on #1. It moves lots of air, but makes too much noise for me. I'll try to control the speed of the motor sometime....

No...that's exactly where we use it. We do, however, like some 'white' noise or the noise of a fan running but definitely nothing that will keep you from sleeping.

Actually that is exactly what I bought it for and what I was looking for. I prefer the noisier the better. I generally use mine on the second setting and I have a relatively medium size master bedroom. I love it!

I would think it would be too strong for a bedroom. We use it outside and it is perfect, but on high speeds it sounds like a rocket is taking off.
1265517
Yes This fan is moving a lot of air. There are smaller fans designed for low noise.

It's pretty loud; you probably wouldn't want it in the bedroom or near your tv. On the other hand, the air that comes out is cool -- a first for us, and a welcome change from the first two that we had. So far, it's a good little workhorse that doesn't heat up the room it's in.

Its loud - we have it in the bedroom and turn it off when time to sleep - but in the kitchen it should be fine.

Sure, why not? I would recommend it in a smaller room due to its cfm rating. Just remember it is louder than most reviews state. The noise has not been a problem for me, I wanted something with style, not all white plastic.

Not overly loud, I run mine inside a separate building and can't hear it inside my house. You certainly would not won't to be in the room with it for ant length of time.

It isn't silent, but by no means would I describe it as noisy. Just a low hum. Have it in my small bedroom and no problem...and I don't like noise. Energy wise the only time my bill goes up is during air conditioning weather. I live in NY. I am going to buy another one for my other bedroom I like it that much.

not too noisy at all.. It runs all night long in the bedroom.. soothing if anything!

I suppose your sensitivity to noises would determine whether this fan would be considered quiet or not to you. I would call it moderately quiet on high speed and quite quiet on lower speeds. I keep it on medium speed and the small amount of noise it puts out is not at all disturbing and the fan is located in a bedroom. It is used only in the Summer to boost air conditioning. The unit is turned up-side-down so that it throws air up. it works perfectly well that way and still responds to the remote control as it should.

No, I think you would be ok. It does make noise and vibrate, but it does not bother someone in another room. At least that is the experience in our home.

Probably too noisy for routine use that close to conversation, TV, etc. Ours is about 20 ft down a hall and that's OK. Hard to make a fan that is quiet and still puts out the volume that this one does -- you can feel the breeze from it 30+ ft away!

Not very noisy. I have it in my living room and it doesn't bother me with the TV or anything. The only problem with it is my tv remote randomly turns it off. I would say it works great and you should buy it. Good luck!

They aren't very loud, they are actually very quiet, but if it's in your bedroom, I'd say it'd be a bit annoying.

It is pretty loud, but it moves a ton of air! I use it in my workout room and the noise is fine. If you plan on using it near a TV or while sleeping, it might be a little too loud.

Kathy, We used ours in the kitchen and although it is not totally quiet, it is reasonable and acceptable. I have been impressed with the quality of the fan. Pw

Not at all. It is the least noisy of any fan heater that I've owned or that I've seen in other's houses. Can be used in any setting - office, bedroom, nursery, etc. - without being distracting.

Is the area you're using it in large enough that you could move it to another room, or behind furniture? I don't notice the high-pitch noise so much but the growling motor is pretty loud to me, and so I use it in a central g room where it's not such a nuisance. The low setting volume is better but then it takes longer to dry the room(s). I hope you find a satisfactory solution!

It is not too loud; about the same as a window fan. I have mine in the bedroom, and I would not be able to sleep if it was very noisy.
