Lots of people complain about noise. Can you just turn the thing off when you find it irritating? Does it have power switch or is it "always on"?

As it is a fridge, its either turn up the temperature or unplug it.I think it defeats the purpose of a fridge then......

What noise? You set at desired temp and the compressor kicks in until it hits the temp. It hums but nothing where you'd go bonkers. Where are other people using this, their bedrooms? Once desired temp is reached compressor shuts down. It kicks back in when the internal temp rises above the desired temp like all fridges (ala when you open the fridge and close it more often than not). Get it. You'll be wondering what the others are complaining about.

It's def louder than a portable generator. If you start it up and don't hear it, you better go check on it. Having said that tho, I don't mean to say that it is distractingly noisy, just that you're going to hear it running.

I might just be so used to it running all the time that I just don't notice it but I would compare it to a regular fan on low. It not 'noisy' at all. It doesn't bother me or distract me from what's on tv, I don't need to turn the volume up on the tv when it's on. Hope that helps.

It actually has a noticeable humm. I usually turn it on at night so it doesn't require you to turn up the tv. However, I keep it running in my room all the time because I like it. I would compare the sound to a big floor fan. If not trying to hear tv or radio it probably will not bother you at all.

I seem to recall you can through the menu. If I get a moment I'll check it out but there was an option,I think, that allows you to turn off the sound. I thought of turning mine off but decided to leave it on so that I know it's working.

The only noise I will occasionally hear is a slight click when the power switches on/off. Other than that, it is completely silent. It's basically a digital clock with outlets

I have not tried to turn that off. I dont think it is that Loud at all especially when you close the Bathroom door. It probably sounds like the BATH FAn running outside. The Vacuum though allows for NO CLEAN UP which is so great. Never had one before with a Vacuum and I will never buy another one without it. My wife is most happy because she doesnt have to tell me to clean up my hair anymore haha....

It is no more noisy than anything else hand held. It is pretty powerful though and there are always trade offs, and that would be noise for power. If it is that bothersome try some light duty hearing protection. I think this could be an issue with most of these units.

It is not intolerable. Not as noises as my over the stove vent. I generally have the tv on while in the kitchen so I hardly notice it. The benefits outweigh any noise for me. It is not an issue. Just sounds like a fan.

I can drown out some noises, but not really loud noises. The power switch has 2 settings for fan speed, so the higher setting provides more noise. The number of baffle holes open at any time is controlled by gently turning the top or side covers, and this changes the pitch of the sound. Probably best to put it near you to drown out the sounds from outside.

It is not silent and it is not noisy. You can easily hold a conversation while standing next to it. It is quieter than window air conditioners I've been around. If it is running next to the head of the bed while you are trying to sleep, there is no doubt you will know it is there. Will it annoy you? My wife is phonophobic and on low speed it didn't bother her: she described it as a white noise she could overlook.

You may turn it off, but it's only too loud if you don't adjust the volume to be lower. Excellent product. My dad's had it over 1-1/2 years now

It is normal for the power light to be on. The sound stops but the power stays on until the volume button is turned off. But who wants to do that when you're sleeping?!

It is not too loud, but it is noticeable due to the fact that the fan is attached to a metal box. I have mine tucked away in a place where I do not hear it unless I'm near it. The benefits outweigh the any sound it produces. You have the option of turning the fan off, if your device has a fan. I prefer having the fan of the box and my device on for optimal cooling. I hope this helps!

It is not that noisy. I've never had a complaint. Audio feedback: yes, too loud: no.

I just press the power button on mine until it turns off. It makes two sounds, the first time it makes a sound you have to keep holding down the button until it makes the second sound, after that it should turn off.

I never found a way to turn it off.. i think it goes into a sleep mode for a while but if it accidentally kicked or moved in any way it starts going off..and periodically it goes off by it self for about 20 mins or so after play there is no off switch! I seriously had a problem with this toy my son couldnt sleep with it sulley kept going off and waking him up!
