How loud is this? Would you be annoyed if it were in the bedroom?

Hi Spencer. It has magnetic strips on both flaps that are a vital part of keeping drafts out. Unfortunately, they do go 'clunk'. It's certainly not a deal breaker for us, but then, it's not in my bedroom, either. The way I'd look at it is this - if putting it in stops your cat/dog from waking you up to go outside, it's worth the very brief noise. :)

it doesn't "bang" shut but there is a noise. I suggest going to a pet store where they are on display and testing out

Not loud. There are brushes that outline the door outline which prevent the flap from going back-and-forth. In addition he has a magnet so when the flap comes down it sticks the first time.

The flap is quiet. The only noise is the click of the magnets that keep the flap in position after it is opened. I don't think it would bother me if it was in our bedroom.

I am a really light sleeper so it would wake me. If you are going to use it as a passage way in a bedroom you might consider not installing the plastic flaps. JUST install the door.

It definitely makes a click sound when the flap swings down. It is not silent. I don't think it is that bad though and that our meowing cat is more annoying.

This is installed in the master bedroom at my home going outdoors to a deck. It doesn't bother me a bit! it's like the sound of opening a tupperware container quickly: soft plastic-y sound with a slight click to the magnetic end. I did have a housesitter once who said the cats drove her up the wall at night. I happen to think that was more about them acting up and being annoying chasing each other all night to protest having a catsitter :D

Nope. It is on the loud side in my oppinion. We can't use it before bedtime as a result.

not loud at all. I would use it indoors if we had a room big enough and tall enough

it was pretty loud. Yet I was not using it for the living room I was using it for the bedroom. If your living room large it might not be loud enough. I think it is more for a bedroom or a smaller room.

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.

You can certainly hear it and on high it is a bit noisy, but on 2 (not 3) it is very reasonably quiet. One could easily watch TV with it running in the room, or carry on a conversation without being bothered. If you are lying in bed and there is no other sound going on, yes you will hear it.

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 the quietest unit on the market. I think you would be satisfied with it in the bedroom.

It's not noisy but not perfectly quiet. Just a low humming sound. I have used it in my bedroom and it did not keep my awake but some people are more sensitive to sounds than others.

It is not too loud; about the same as a window fan. I have mine in the bedroom, and I would not be able to sleep if it was very noisy.

I can't give you a decibels answer, but I can tell you that had it been in my bedroom at night, I would have used earplugs. It's not terribly loud, but if you're a light sleeper, it might be annoying. It worked relatively well in the 11x12 soap- curing room I used it in, but wouldn't do more than that. A window air conditioner worked better.

Sounds is very minor. It would possibly keep you awake should you sleep right next to it; but in another room it's really a non-issue for us.

It's pretty loud. I have thin walls and I always have my tv or radio on when my roommate is home. She has never said anything about the sound, but I still like to be careful.

I think it is Loud. I close the door to my bedroom and leave it. It is hard to talk over unless you have a large room. I still like it however

It isn't that loud on the lowest setting. It is actually easy to hear anything going on in the room. It is about as noisy as a light rainstorm.

Yes. It gives off a sound loud enough for you to hear in the next room but it is not an annoying sound.

Yes its loud, but not to the point where it could get annoying. If you keep the bathroom door shut no one should here you.
