how quiet or how noisy is this unit? Could it be used in a bedroom without being kept up all night?

Its very loud and wont recommend you buying it. For that prize the room takes forever to cool down.

It's not very quiet, but it's not as loud as my window unit. My son uses this New Air portable unit in his room and he said it doesn't really bother him while he's sleeping.

All of the portable a/c's are a bit noisy - this no more than others as we have an LG, as well. We found, however, that the 14,000 unit was not adequate to cool a living room and dining room. Surely a 12,000 unit should be good for a bedroom, New Air is a quality product. Hope this helps a bit.

It is noisy and I can go to sleep,but wake up frequently and turn it off about 3am. The unit works though...it gets nice and cool...and I can lift it as it only weighs 56 pounds.

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.

If it was on low during the night it might not be that bad. I have mine on auto so it's usually running at a higher speed, it's not bad in the family room but in the bedroom it would be too noisy for me

its as quiet as any compressor i've ever used. you could probably use it in the room where someone was sleeping without any problem.

It's as noisy as any standard unit; but it does not make a metal rattling sound like those ones in some las vegas hotel rooms. It's quieter than that; but still a significant sound to be sleeping next to, as significant as, say, sleeping next to a small refrigerator; but probably not as annoying. Hope this helps.

We had an older unit (maybe 10-15 years) it was quite loud. This one is comparably quieter. It is not silent though; it does make noise. I am very happy w our unit... bought another for a different room. I give it (both Friedriches actually) 5 stars.

I just put it in my 2 year old's room. It's not without noise. Its an ac. However, imo it's a little quiter then the AC in our bedroom. Can u hear this ac , absolutely. Is it quiter then others, I think def think so. I would reccomend buying it.

We use this in our bedroom at night, usually. It is pretty loud (and when the container is close to full, it rattles fiercely). We are able to sleep fairly well with it on, but it took transition time. It has become a "white noise." But, if you are accustomed to silent-running appliances, then this is not a good option for you.

Yes. It is very quiet. I have it in my Family Room. I would recommend this product.

I use this unit every night at home. My husband watches TV in the next room and I need more quiet. It works great. I like some of the sounds better than others but it is easily set.

No and we can't use this in the bedroom as a result. If I block the light then it's tricky to control. Anyway I have found even quiet mode a bit louder for sleeping than the kind that I prefer. But I love it for kitchen and exercise/office space.

I have two of these units and they work well, BUT they are noisy! I use them in my workshop, so it doesn't matter, but for sleeping you might consider a portable radiator - very little noise. I preheat my bedroom with a noisy heater and at bedtime, switch to the radiator. Works for me!

it's very quiet. I would use it when I sleep and I never had a problem, and I'm a light sleeper

I don't know if I would call it quiet. I don't run it while I'm watching TV. I do like the unit.

I do not consider the unit to be loud. It does run a fan continuously to move the air in the room so it does not turn off very much. The unit has an energy star rating. Love the unit - - seems to be one of the best that I've encountered.

The unit is very quite. Mine is located in a room next to my son's bedroom. I have used the machine while he is sleeping and have not woken him up.
