How loud/annoying is the flame effect motor noise (the motor that rotates the reflectors - not the blower)?

I found the sound of the flame effect very soothing...it is similar to white noise, but it is not loud. This is heard when using the flame effect only and not the heat feature.

using talk to text so formatting may be a bit off however I should say I am not at all I know it by the fan obviously it's a matter of perception but it is in my opinion very low and I also can thoroughly enjoy the device I feel like it's really well made and that you will enjoy it or get use out of it so give it a try I don't think you'll be disappointed

I don't like any noise, so I recorded wood-burning and ambient nature sounds on a mini-MP3 player that boots up whenever my fireplace is on. Sounds associated with my total installation are quite pleasant and realistic. In short, I absolute love my fireplace!

Probably a little louder than we would like but we have 3 of these units, one in our master bedroom, 1 in the living room and one in our basement family room. They are all the same.

only if you're in the fast mode, you'll hear some noises from the motor. I'm using off camera audio so it doesn't bother me much.

I would not call it quiet, but its not intolerable. I do not know about the motor.

I have not experienced that noise. I use electric heat. Could there be a difference?

Very loud, at least as loud as the old Honeywell fans before they made them quieter. Word of warning though, the noise is inconsistent. It gets louder and quieter for no reason and at random, as the motor speeds up and slows down. Drives me nuts.

The motor is not loud at all. I've not cleaned the motor itself, I just rinse everything out every week. The sound of the water trickling is obvious but not offensive.

The motor is not quiet by any means. It's not too bad when idling but when you run the dough through to compress it, it is the loudest sound in the world. My neighbor runs a gear mfg company and said the motor would be quieter if larger.

I haven't noticed the motor being loud at all. We use it in our church nursery, but we have been very happy with it.

My unit is normal noise, just blower sound, to me not loud at all. Other brands much louder. I would reccomend this one , this is my second one love them. best luck with your choice.

Seems to be the case. I was equally as disappointed with the extreme noise of the motor/fan.

I don't have another generator to compare it to, but it is pretty darn loud. Certainly louder than a walk-behind lawnmower.

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.

is loud but not that bad, biggest problem is have replaced it twice motor burns out not sure if going to get another one or try something else.

The unit is loud with the fan and burner going. Also you have a confined space, where the outlet is pointed is of concern. Again confined space, air quality will be an issue, possibly lethal.

When it is on the fan is running. That is the only noise to be heard, The noise will go away when the burner is turned off. I don't seem to mind the sound.

For the most part, yes. There is a very faint hum of the motor and a bit of a trickle. I actually had to go turn one on to see if it made noise as it is not something intrusive at all. I have three of them in our house.

The fan is loud enough to be slightly bothersome. I have a small t.v. in my kitchen and the burner is near the t.v. I do have to turn up the t.v. slightly when the burner is on. However, I don't think it would have an impact on normal converstation in the kitchen. Overall, I love the way induction works and my next stove cooktop will be induction.
