Is it quiet? I want to use this timer in a bedroom and I am sensitive to whirring sounds from devices with little motors or gears. Thanks.

I totally understand your concerns about noise. I bought 3 and one of them does make noise. The other two are silent. However the one that does make noise is still quieter than other brands I have.

Very quiet. The only time you will hear it is when it clicks on or clicks off.

If you are sensitive to slight sounds you should get a digital timer. They can be tricky to program - just read the instructions step-by-step, but they are more versatile and completely silent.

Yes, it is fairly quiet....my problem with this dryer is that it literally fell apart in less than a year...the plastic cracked around the nozzle and became dangerous to use...I buy Solano hair dryers..they are the only dryer that I know of that will be repaired by the manufacturer for life. I was very disappointed in the TOOLS hair dryer.

I do not consider the unit to be loud. It does run a fan continuously to move the air in the room so it does not turn off very much. The unit has an energy star rating. Love the unit - - seems to be one of the best that I've encountered.

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

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.

It is noisy like a small fan is noisy. Not sure why other people say it is quiet, because the heater I bought (and later returned) produced noise like a fan. It has a blower within the heater that pushes out the warm air. If you use it at night and you are accustomed to using a fan, the noise might not bother you. But, the orange light is really bright at night. My recommendation is to go to any local store that has a good return policy, buy a similar heater and try it for a few days. Then, you can return it if you like.

Considering its power, yes it is quiet. I live in an apt. and use it very early in the morning and some late nights --- and no one has ever complained.

Yeah, it is KINDA noisy... 7,8? You would prob wake someone up in another room without closing the door if they are a touchy person about that kind of thing. But I think this hair dryer is average in noise. I don't think you're going to find quieter. Dryers are loud.

It is not too noisy. On the other hand I used it in a kitchen where the noise level is higher then in an office. Good luck.

Its quiet. I usd it as a bedroom refrigerator, and didnt hear it. Prior, I used it as a freezer, and it was very quiet. Great little appliance.

I love this air conditioner but I would not consider it a very quiet machine. We have one in our family room and generally have to turn it off to enjoy TV.

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.

It is fairly quiet, it also depends on the load, if you run at 90% of rated capacity it will be louder than running at 40%. I have ran the generator through the night and it was not bothersome at all.

I did not like this hair dryer as it quit working after about 10 months...only used maybe 3 times a week. Before that it was good. I would not say it was very quiet....probably about normal volume...best wishes

Super quiet on the lowest setting. Moderately loud on the highest setting. No noise from the motors, just from the air moving. I don't have any problem with drowning out my TV.

It does run periodically and make some noise. It is on par with the fridge in terms of loudness, I think. I was, and maybe still am a bit, bothered by the noise and thought about putting it in a different room (it is in the kitchen). So, actually, the noise is the one thing I have NOT liked about it, but I am not sure if it is enough noise to bother YOU. My husband is NOT bothered by the noise. That answer might be very unhelpful, sorry.
