How loud is the unit? I'm looking for some white noise.

The low & medium speeds are adequate for white noise. That's what I use it for.

It is whisper quiet. For goodness sake, how can someone else be the judge of your white noise needs? It's 30 bucks! Buy the d*mn thing and try it for yourself. If you don't like it you can sell it again here.

I use it on the night stand when I sleep.It is louder than my CPAP machine, but not bothersome. I usually use it on low or med and find it makes for nice sleeping.

at low speed it's very quiet. At medium I can hear it but it's not noticeable loud...at high speed you can hear it.....It's NOT disgustingly loud, but you can hear it.....I now have two and they are great for circulating the warm air ( I use it with our woodstove ) or to cool the place off.....

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.

It's pretty loud. I run it at night and it acts like white noise so it never bothers me. It does an excellent job though.

I wish I could answer your question accurately. I am using this unit out in process line to help dry some product that I am running and because of the back ground noise cannot really tell if it is loud or not. I can tell you that the quality seems to be of high standards.

The units lights are a big part of the problem, turn the lights off and the " whine " goes away. As far as " white noise ", rack mount it, grounding it, then using a power line conditioner w " quality " preferably gold plated cables for the optimum sound. Shouldnt need all this, but unless your outside, your gonna want at the very least a power line conditioner with quality cables. Ive reduced the noise you speak of by a good 75%, if not 80%. Good luck :)

Sorry but I don't know about the dB level. The room I'm using it in is 12x16. I would compare the noise level to that of a fan. To me it just seems like white noise.

I like in a VERY small 1 Bdrm Apt, 400 square feet in total, yes it does make "white" noise. I sometimes use my elec blanket, BUT on cold mornings I love the power if turning it in. Some don't like it beeps whenever they push a button, but I like the beep because it reconfirmed that I've pushed something, like occasionally I engage the oscillation.

The unit itself does not make much noticeable noise. Ours is set up in our garage and is pretty much out of sight & out of mind. We have had no issues with the unit. No real instructions on how to set up when received though. Had to look up set up online on youtube.

Maybe the sound varies by device. The unit I have is NOT loud. It's actually softer than average. I use it only if I'm going to be in the same room with it.

For the size that it is, I think it is fairly loud. I use it for my excerise room and bathroom and it's loud enough that I can hear it clearly. The sound carries out well.

I can't answer to the decibels, but it does sound like white noise, which I appreciate, since it drows out the house noises.

I have two units. One is dead silent in the idle mode, the other has a barely detectable white noise. Try double-clicling on the Play/Stop button to change into another audio mode, such as for speech.

It's not bad as far as noise goes. It's a white noise that doesn't bother me. The first one I bought rattled so bad I had to return it. As far as reliable, it works very well. I just didn't like how everything that was included with my last Ac, was an extra charge. They charged extra for the flimsy sleeve, and the just as flimsy grille on the back of the unit ! I resented the slimy marketing scheme they used to get their hooks deeper into the consumer. If I remember correctly, these two items added 100.00 extra to the cost of the unit ! If I didn't need mine in a hurry, I would have shopped around a little more. It's not bad as far as noise goes. It's a white noise that doesn't bother me.

Yes it is good for the white noise. Not for trying to watch tv in the same room though, ha ha. Think you'll like it.

It makes about the same amount of noise as a fan. It doesn't bother me in my studio, but I like white noise.

You can hear it running but it is not overbearing. I don't know how sensitive you are, but with other units that we had, if I was on a conference call with a speaker phone I would have to turn off the unit. With this unit I do not have to do that. Think of it as white noise.
