How loud is this fan?

In decibles? Not sure. The fan on high speed is louder than I thought it would be, but still not very loud for how much air is flowing through it. It depends on your placement also - in a small space it will seem louder than in a larger space. The noise doesn't bother me though, and I certainly don't need ear protection to be around it. Mine is in my basement attached to the ceiling joists, and I can't hear it at all in the room above.

not very loud at all, and it sounds like white noise, so it is not a problem for us.

Not very. I was actually surprised by the lack if noise. I can carry on a conversation without raising my voice with the fan on max. You know its running, but it's quite tolerable. With a speed switch reducing the flow to less than max you have to listen for the fan.

It's not too loud behind a closed door. They sell dampeners also that are rubber and help reduce the noise

It is somewhat loud. The higher the setting, the louder. I use it in my garage and it works well.

The fan is very quite on the low setting. I can have it in a meeting room without distrubing anyone. When you get to the faster settings, it does get louder. It is very handy.

Kathy, We used ours in the kitchen and although it is not totally quiet, it is reasonable and acceptable. I have been impressed with the quality of the fan. Pw

This fan is in it's second season in a small storage shed. During the summer it runs 18/7 as I have a thermostat on it. Shuts off when it cools. It is about the loudness of a ceiling exhaust fan. Best answer I can give.

The fan does produce enough ambient noise if you are nearby it. It increases a little bit with each speed.

It is not loud at all. About the same volume as a regular room heater or fan.

It's not overly loud, but it's definitely higher pitched than a regular fan. I run a regular fan at night anyway, so I barely hear it.

It is loud but not to the point of that. Mine is in the bedroom with the TV and I have it on normal level sound. When fan is running can hardly hear it but once the air kicks in its definitely louder. Hope this helps.

Relatively quiet. It's definitely quieter than the last fan of similar build I used.

As others have said, it puts out a ton of air. It is certainly NOT quiet though. On low, it is probably about as loud as most other fans are on high, but the air movement is significant. You buy this fan to move a lot of air, not for silence. It is the kind of fan that you turn off after several hours and, only then, realize just how loud it was.

No louder than a "normal" fan regardless of load. You can hear it's running but not over the volume of a typical game. It is very good at keeping the processor cool.

On the low setting its barely audible. Even on the high setting its pretty quiet. MUCH MUCH quieter than a fan with "hard" blades.

It's not very loud. I sleep with the ceiling fan on and this thing too, and sometimes I can't tell if it's on. The fan is basically what you would find in a computer tower so the noise is minimal. A slight humm if anything

The noise level is based on how fast you set the fan. On the lowest setting it is pretty quiet. Even on the highest setting it isn't that loud.

The fan is very loud.. I replaced the fan with a whisper fan I had from an old computer.
