is this fan quiet or loud

The fan has a notable and steady sound as you would expect from a high velocity metal fan. It is a white noise however and can easily be ignored. It is not as quiet as a slow speed plastic fan, but is not so loud as to drown out normal conversation in a living-room.

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.

Its pretty quiet. I run it at night on the lowest speed while sleeping. It's not silent, but probably the quietest fan I've owned. During the day, with more ambient noise, I hardly notice the fan is on, unless its blowing on me.

It really is surprisingly quiet especially on the lowest setting. I hardly notice it unless my ear is within a foot or so. I have it under my desk and don't even hear it at all, even on higher settings. It's the quietest fan amongst the 2 others my coworkers have.

Sorry for the delayed answer. The fan is not at all loud. Definitely less noise than my full-sized HP.

Hi it hums a little and it gets louder when you change the fan speed. If it was to loud I would not be able to sleep with the noise.

On high it might drown out some noise but it is actually a pretty quiet fan which is what I was looking for. There are other fans listed that are described as being "noisy" so I didn't choose them.

It is not silent, but is very quiet. The fan itself is 5", the blades are 4" in diameter.

It is very quiet on low. I have it running all the time and it sits on the other side of my small den, and I can't even hear it running. On medium, and high, yes it gets fairly loud, but I rarely have to put it on high. It is a great air mover, and will blow everything off your desk if on high. You can't go wrong with this fan. In fact, I am about to buy another for my bedroom.

No really quiet or loud.... If you want power it makes noise, but less than a vacuum cleaner !!!

On the low setting its barely audible. Even on the high setting its pretty quiet. MUCH MUCH quieter than a fan with "hard" blades.

Very quiet. We the fan set low, and have it going 24/7 in our living room and can hardly notice the sound.

It has a "sleep mode" which is very quiet. Overall, the fan does make some noise but nothing like other fans I've purchased in the past. I LOVE this tower fan!

I don't think it's noisy at all. The only noticeable sound I can recall of comes from the fan, still quite discrete.

It's more like a very small fan. I'd say it is relatively quiet. It's not a rattling sound or anything. I usually use mine at night so it's ready by morning.

It isn't loud at all. There is a slight hum, but not one you really notice. If you ever heard a small fan, the ones you push the button and they blow in your face, it's kind of like that.

I would say it was pretty quiet. I mean, you can hear the fan but it is not annoying. In fact, I think it would be rather soothing in a bedroom - kind of like white noise.

I consider this fan quiet. Even at low speed (on #1 setting) the fan pushes a lot of air.
