Would you mind sharing how noisy is this, especially if as a freezer if you know? I'm considering this as a bedroom freezer. Thanks!

Ours is in an office laboratory with other noises as well so I can't really say if it's noisy. The only time I really hear it is when I open the door. Hopefully this helps with your decision.

Its quiet. I usd it as a bedroom refrigerator, and didnt hear it. Prior, I used it as a freezer, and it was very quiet. Great little appliance.

It is very quiet. I live in a one room studio and it does not bother me in the least.

I have this freezer in my bedroom as well. It's not silent but definitely does not bother me with the low amount of noise. Overall I'm really happy with this freezer.

Hi Saven,It is not noisy at all. If you are going to use it as a freezer only, make sure to set the temperature on freezer.

It is very quiet. I've never noticed any noise and it sits on my desk in a quiet office.

It is not too noisy. On the other hand I used it in a kitchen where the noise level is higher then in an office. Good luck.

Is the area you're using it in large enough that you could move it to another room, or behind furniture? I don't notice the high-pitch noise so much but the growling motor is pretty loud to me, and so I use it in a central g room where it's not such a nuisance. The low setting volume is better but then it takes longer to dry the room(s). I hope you find a satisfactory solution!

No, it's not extremely noisy, it's what I would expect from a window air conditioner. I keep it on low because it cools so well, but when it's turned on high, it's a little noisy but not too noisy where we can't hear the tv. On low it's just a nice calm sound to me. It's a great air conditioner so far, we love it!!!!

It has some low range noise but only when it's running to make new ice. Otherwise, very quiet. I'm loving mine.

We used ours in a RV and it turned on just like a normal freezer. We bought it because we had limited space space and we needed more. If it had run all the time it would have been a major problem it an RV. You can also contact the manufacturer if you really have to confirm this.

I think it is very quiet for how cold this unit gets. It gets more quiet when its on it's Econ Mode. I think all window air conditioners will have some level of noise but in my opinion this is one of the quietest ones I have ever owned. And once you stop listening to judge the level of noise it becomes bearly noticeable at all. This is a great quiet unit in my opinion.

Hi Mr. Butterfield, My wife and I have our Danby Freezer in a small room in our apartment in NYC. The Danby DUF408WE Freezer is constructed so well that there seems to be no reason why it would not do perfectly well in a garage. If I had a garage, I would put the Danby Freezer in it too. Also, the Freezer is Silent when it is on! It makes a very low noise after you open the door and close it, that it sounds like it is making it airtight. The Danby Freezer has heavy duty plastic sliders that move smoothly when pushing the Freezer on a floor, they also adjust in height if a floor is a little off balanced. I feel the sliders on the Danby Freezer would not move easily on a dry cement floor, unless it was painted to a durable and smooth finish. Therefore, I would protect the floor that you put the freezer on from dry cement, corrosion and dampness. I would set the Danby Freezer on top of a 1/4" inch thick Plexiglass plastic flooring or something similar. The Danby Freezer is easy to clean and defrosts rather quickly. You can place a small one inch tall long baking pan set on the floor with the door open and any water draining out can be caught in the pan. There are no ice chunks forming inside the Freezer either. It just has a frosty coating or snowy look around the walls and elements inside the Freezer that melt off the interior when it is defrosting. The Danby DUF408WE Freezer is the Best Freezer I ever had! You will not be disappointed. Best regards and Happy Holidays for the New Year! ~ Marc

Not constantly. When it is running the noise doesn't really bother me - I keep it in the kitchen and it's not much different than a refrigerator/freezer in my opinion.

In my opinion no; it is about as noisy as I expected it to be. I barely notice it when it does come on and it may be partly due to just having gotten used to it. However, I can see how someone might say it is noisy. This has been a great machine for me once I got the refrigerant level fixed. It may ship with very little refrigerant and you may need someone to come out and add some if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself.

Mine seems to get fairly cold but it still needs to be refrigerated for at least 1/2 day before it firms up. The best thing about this machine is that it seems to have the power to churn the mix even though it gets quite thick without slowing down or laboring, unlike my White Mountain freezer. It seems well-made and heavy. I doubt that there's a better one for home use. I wish it made larger batches, though. The motor sure could handle it.

I use it in an open kitchen. It is not quiet but not too bad. we use it in a condo and I have concerns for the people below, therefore, I would not run it at midnight or early morning. Just trying to be considerate.

I bought the machine because it is absolutely quiet. The hot is in fact hot and the cold is cold. Most coolers make too much noise when the compressor cycles off and on. Does not happen with this unit.

Alarm is reasonably loud, and it's intended to be placed remotely from the freezer. My freezer is in the basement. The alarm unit is on the refrigerator in the kitchen.

I bought this little refrigerator for my mother, as she is in an Assisted Living Facility. I have heard no noise whatsoever, except an occasional hum. For the most part, it is silent! A good little refrigerator.

Believe me you won't regret buying one. My freezer would do all kinds of stupid stuff like door light won't work freezer would be extremly cold and won't shut off or compressor wouldnt turn on. Every thing would run fine if I pull the control panel board. Until the next day it would act up... has to be a bad compassitor.

I find mine makes all kinds of noises. It sounds like it's from outerspace?! I suppose it's due to all that jazz going on inside. With that being said, it pulls the water in, makes and drops the ice and works quite efficiently. I wouldn't worry about all the noises unless it's not functioning properly...
