How noisy is the fan in this switch?

We deployed this unit out to a client so its not something that I have daily interaction with. However, I don't recall it being something that stood out to me or if I even noticed any fan noise at all. I know that isn't a great deal of useful information but wanted to get a response back to you.

Not hardly noticeable but i haven't been impressed with the operation. The web GUI I is super slow and clunky.

Not loud at all compared to some of the other brands of switches I've used. If it is in a rack with passively cooled devices, you will hear it, but it is not loud or obnoxious.

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

It is REALLY noisy, seriously I will be returning mine because of that. I had bought for my bedroom but this is unbearable, even the lowest speed generates so much more noise than my old AC on the max speed.

Yes, it makes a fairly loud "click" sound when it switches on and off. I had to replace my 12 year old switch with a new one. Same brand. But this new one is much louder than the old one.

i have it in my kitchen in basement. it is very quiet. i also have it on an on/off switch so that it doesnt constantly keep going.

it depends on the fan speed but it is a little louder than a regular fan with fan low but gets louder as you go up in fan speed. I use it for bedroom but I always sleep with fan or tv/music on so it never bothers me

I do not think it is very noisey. In fact I have opened it up to see if it was working because it is so quiet.

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

It is quiet - mine is on a rack and blends in with my other devices on the rack. I don't have the net gear switch so cannot compare it.

The fan is pretty quiet. I have one each in my children's bedroom and they haven't complained about the noise. Have had it for almost a year now I think. They have used it during the winter too in the reverse to circulate the warm air.

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.

We have it in a small laundry room, so noise is not a factor. I just checked it and it is very quiet. Hope this helps.

The fan isnt very loud at all, kind of a very low hum......used it camping about 2 weeks ago. We like it alot.

Mine is relatively quiet; it only makes some mild fan noise when under heavy load.

The switch itself is fine.... its the circuit board in the fan that is the problem. If you can avoid it buy a fan that doesn't need a specific/special switch.

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.

There is a click of the switch and a twang. I would not categorize it as loud though.
