How noisy is this unit? I am interested in it for a 12' square bedroom and am concerned about being able sleep.

It's noisy, but the sound itself it's from the air passing through the vents.... I could survive on a smaller room.... the unit could cold the environment quickly.

I measured it at 70 decibels running at full power. I consider it noisy in general, but not for an AC unit.

The unit isn't super loud or super quiet. But you do hear when it is on. However I have slept with the unit just 2 feet away or less with no problem. The noise level shouldn't be a major concern. If it is than this type of air cleaner is not what you should be looking for to clean your air.

Loud. The fan (only) is not bad, but when that compressor kicks in, it's noise. The unit is in a window about 7 to 8 feet from my bed.

On the two highest settings it can be loud.Easy solution is to turn the unit on either the highest setting or Auto about an hour prior to going into the room.At that point you can put it on the first or second settings overnight and it shouldn't disturb you.I leave it on Auto and sometimes it will cycle into high while I'm sleeping but that no longer bothers me.Effective machine the easier breathing makes the noise issue tolerable.

Well I wouldn't want it in the room if I was trying to take a nap but I use it outside to clean my tankless hot water heater. In other words, yes it is rather loud but not overly irritating. I guess it all depends on what you are going to use it for, where, and for what period of time.

Have had no noise with our unit. Very quiet.... but try it and if does not stop, send back. Hope this helps

Quite noisy - we moved it to the basement from the living room. I can't compare to a window AC but it is noisier than a central air. Although it is the proper size for our house, it ran continuously to achieve a 45% humidity for our house.

I'd classify it as quiet on low fan speed, moderate on high. I have no problem sleeping with the unit in the bedroom on low, or on watching TV in the same room, etc. On high, it's pretty noticeable in the same room, but inaudible elsewhere in the house.

it is fairly quiet. We use it in our bedroom of a lake cabin it we actually sleep well.

It makes a fair amount of noise. I'm not sure how much, but at any rate, the guy beside my office is able to hear when I'm getting up or going to bed. But that's up to the thickness of your walls. I tend to deflate it like a 'regular' mattress (so it almost silently hisses) without the power pump when I wake up, so I haven't run into many problems.

On low you might be OK, depending on your level of tolerance for such noises. On high it's quite loud -- louder than I would want to be in the room with for long. It moves a ton of air and it's very well made, but on high a lot of air equals a lot of noise.

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 a little noisy and most likely will wake up someone if the room is close to where you are using it. And if they are lite sleepers my room mate sleeps upstairs so they don't hear anything.

its very quiet. if you put your ear up to it... you hear a slight and continuous buzz. so, in an otherwise silent bedroom, it might be noticeable and irritating until you tune it out (if you can)... but all conventional outside and most conventional inside applications it will be unnoticeable.

I'd say it's fairly noisy but it's the nice kind of white noise that helps me sleep. I don't even notice it. I work nights and appreciate the fan noise that comes from the unit while I'm trying to sleep as it blocks out a lot of the street noises.

The unit is noisy in a small room- with the fan on high especially. Not any noisier than others I have previously owned. I like the portability & versatility of this unit. No regrets.

It's anoying rather than noisy. I have one installed in my bedroom and I have to turn it off if I want to sleep
