How loud is it, how do you control it, and can you vary the speed of it?

There's no motor, so it makes as much noise as a piece of wood with wheels would :P you control it the same way you would any long board, and speed varies with application of gravity.

Thanks for your question. The model I have does not have the variable speed control, however changing speeds only takes a few moments so I've not missed having it. Hope this helps.

No, there is no volume control. There is only an 'on/off' switch. Depending on your sensitivity to sound, I don't think it's that loud. I think it's more of that little fear in most of us that makes us worry that 'someone else' may hear it! :*)

The speed control doesnt give it more power. It just allows you to vary the speed from the low button to the high button

I have had this installed for 6 months now. It is typically used with a variable speed control in place of an on/off switch. It is an industrial strength fan. When it is running at full speed it is moving a lot of air, making it necessary to raise your voice a bit to talk over the noise. But it really airs out the room in a hurry. At low speeds, it is much quieter. The air noise is just a whisper, but there is still a noticeable hum from the motor.

It is loud. Very loud. But it works very well. And it's only on for a short while, so just put up with the noise.

The little roller button on the side controls the speed on the on I have. Just slowly roll it up and down.

what sort of noise is it ? and what is the equipment type you want to use it with ?

Yes it can easialy be adjusted. I found it too loud once and had to turn it down but it stays in the range where you've left it last.

Definitely variable. Think of the speeds as gearing. Within that gearing you can control how fast or slow based on pull of the trigger from min to max allowed by that gearing.

You should be able to use a standard on off switch, but you will have no speed control and it will be quite loud.

2 speeds. no adjustment. you can vary the speed by moving the machine closer or away from the batter.

Three speeds and also you can adjust the nozzle of the fan either up or down so it helps with air flow. I keep it on high to really get the full benefit. It is loud but I like noisy fans.

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.

You can control the speed with trigger. With trigger fully depressed speed set by contoller

It has 3 speed settings, as well a timer button, sleep button and oscillate button. It also has a vertical slider in the upper part of the fan that can change the direction of air flow (up/down)

It's loud, right? How to adjust the volume depends on the system you have (PC or Mac?) Go into your system preferences (for Mac uses) or your Control Panel (for PC users) and go to your Sound thumbnail and bring down the MASTER VOLUME. There is no actual physical volume control on the speaker itself. Hope that helps.
