How noisy is it? It says 50db, that's a lot if I want to run it in a bedroom.

Even at n6 volts it is noisier than I would want in my office, let alone bedroom. I also bought the model 160-8 Leisure Components unit (6-12 volt also) Much less noisy, but still noisier than a fish tank pump I used to have in my 15 gallon aquarium

How long are you going to run it for... It will wake you up if your a light sleeper. It is possible to burn it out by running it continuously or for long (2+ hours) periods. I was pumping 7 gallons at a time to 5' high, about 6 times a day and it lasted 2-3 months.

If you are putting it in the basement it would be fine. No suitable for the bedroom or living room if noise is a concern. It does work good and as a large dehumidifier the noise is acceptable.

It is pretty loud, but it moves a ton of air! I use it in my workout room and the noise is fine. If you plan on using it near a TV or while sleeping, it might be a little too loud.

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

Are you referring to the amount of noise it makes when its running? My unit is in storage for the winter, so I cannot measure for you, but I can attest that it is no louder than the average window unit.

We have it in a small laundry room, so noise is not a factor. I just checked it and it is very quiet. Hope this helps.

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 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 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.

Not very noisy. I have it in my living room and it doesn't bother me with the TV or anything. The only problem with it is my tv remote randomly turns it off. I would say it works great and you should buy it. Good luck!

It's pretty quiet. I have it in my TV room and don't notice any noise...I don't have air conditioning anywhere in my house. I only use this portable one in one room and love it.

It makes a fair amount of noise. I'm not sure how much, but at any rate, the guy beside my office is able to hear when I'm getting up or going to bed. But that's up to the thickness of your walls. I tend to deflate it like a 'regular' mattress (so it almost silently hisses) without the power pump when I wake up, so I haven't run into many problems.

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

We use it in our bedroom and it works well. It's about a 12x15 bedroom. It also has white noise, in a good way, which we like as it's a low pitch.

It is REALLY noisy, seriously I will be returning mine because of that. I had bought for my bedroom but this is unbearable, even the lowest speed generates so much more noise than my old AC on the max speed.
