Yes it is quiet, you will be pleased with this fan. We use it in the bedroom.

Yes it is very quiet. We have one in our living area where we watch tv, in fact, that is where I am right now. Cool and no noise. Just ordered one for the bedroom.

I have this fan installed in the middle of my game room, and my lounge chair is located very close to the fan, and there is only the feeling of the breeze it creates without any fan noise.

I just put the fan on, maximum. The noise is not loud at all. U can barely notice it. I bought around 2 other fans at the same time this is by far the best fan. It looks better than picture does it justice and its not noisy at all.

you DON'T want a silent fan? I'm confused. I love this 3 speed as it doesn't just go back and forth. I rotates in a circle. It can be constant or give you a "wind" burst effect. It is quiet but I can still hear it. Sure, white noise. But a noisier one, you got me. I really like this one.

It is not silent but it is much less noisy then the unit it replaced. I can sleep with it near my nightstand so noise wasn't a factor for me. There are two noise levels, with the compressor on and when the fan is on alone. If you are very noise sensitive this may be an issue for you.

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.

It's probably about as quiet as a box fan but in general, this fan is not quiet. I find the lowest setting to push too much air and is too noisy.

This is one of the quietest fans I've ever used. It's more like white noise.I own three. One is in our family room with the TV so I know what you mean.No worries! Love it!

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!

It's not whisper quiet. I have it in my living room and am able to hear it in my bedroom with the door open (not a huge house). We run it off and on throughout the day and continuously through the night. It doesn't make an annoying noise but it would say it is as loud as a box fan.

It is quiet .... I sleep with this fan on high every night and it doesn't bother me at all.

It's a 4" fan, and it isn't completely quiet. It makes a sort of 'white noise' kind of thing. Not very problematic, unless you're looking for total silence. It is definitely not a problem for me, and I have it right next to me on a nightstand.

Hi Peggy, I am not sure as I bought this as a gift for someone who just wanted a small fan to go to sleep with. The soft sound of the fan noise helps my mother-n-law fall asleep and stay asleep. Sorry I could not be of any assistance to you in answering your question. Sincerely, Bill

There is a definite hum while the fan is on...it is not loud for me, however, I do hear it when I go to sleep and it does not bother me while I watch TV. It's a great fan! I would recommend it to anyone looking.

No, and no. It is very quiet. But this is a very small fan. It moves a nice amount of air for being so small. I needed one that would fit in a recess in the ceiling. It is perfect for where I needed to put it. I have this mounted where an old light fixture was. So, the old light switch is still there, though I don't usually use it. This switch should not affect whether or not it makes any noise. Only negatives: The light is NOT dimmable, and the housing is too small to insert a remote control. All my other fans are on remotes, which is very convenient

This is a very loud fan. I use it in both my sons rooms as a white noise (3yr old and 1 yr old). It has a high and low setting, but they are both very loud and block out noise. I can't hear my son crying in the next room when it's on in my oldest son's room. I love this fan. It doesn't make an annoying rattle noise either. Hope this helps!

I think the fan is about as silent as it gets. I have noticedno noise whatsoever. You do have to keep the vents on the back clear or it will heat up way too fast. I use mine primarily for MusicReader software for performance and I am happy with it. That said it isn't TOTALLY silent, but mine is very close.

This fan isn't necessarily completely quiet but I wouldn't consider this fan on the noisy side either, so if you want a loud fan look elsewhere.
