how noisy/quit is the unit

Average for an air conditioner, I'd say. I easily slept with it in my bedroom.

The unit is about medium noisey. Naurally the faster fan makes more noise. But as usual, once it on for awhile your hearing ignores the noise.

It is no louder than the usual air conditioners. We can talk and hear the TV easily over it. The best feature on it is, there is a water drain. We have always had problem with the ones that have no drains, they tend to back up on us.

I bought this to cool a small office. On high speed, it is difficult to carry on a conversation.

Very quiet, its in my window now and not a problem. If you get it just be sure to pull the plug out on the bottom rear to let the water drain.

I would say about average for a unit this size. Certainly not whisper-quiet, but not as loud as one of my other units.

It was bought for my son. He likes it very much and says it is much less noisy then other units he has used.

The unit is very quiet. You hear it bubbling at the end of cycle, and it turns off automatically.

I'd say it's fairly noisy but it's the nice kind of white noise that helps me sleep. I don't even notice it. I work nights and appreciate the fan noise that comes from the unit while I'm trying to sleep as it blocks out a lot of the street noises.

A constant low hum. I tune it out almost immediately. I've never had any office neighbors comment or complain on the noise. It's probably slightly louder than the occasional grinding noise my water heater/cooler makes.

It's not quiet if that's your question; it has run very well for me and usually starts with first or second pull with half choke; if you set the unit 20 feet away from your work area it will be fine...

Not terribly happy with the unit. it is so noisy that it cannot be used by people in an office enviornment

We have had this unit for several months, (in our kitchen), and I have never heard the unit run. I've heard the question asked before, but we have not had any issues with noise or otherwise. Very happy with our purchase...

I think that it is very quiet. I only use it to backup my system and it is not on all of the time. I have not noticed any noise.

The unit isn't super loud or super quiet. But you do hear when it is on. However I have slept with the unit just 2 feet away or less with no problem. The noise level shouldn't be a major concern. If it is than this type of air cleaner is not what you should be looking for to clean your air.

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.

Mine isn't noisy at all. And mine works awesome and is well worth the price. Just bought mine used do I didn't spend the money a new one would be. Maybe it's clogged ?

If it's one in proper working order then it's quiet enough. When you first start it it may produce a "sound" but I wouldn't call it a deafening sound, it's just a bit louder than the unit normally is. After a few minutes it goes away and the A/C is pretty quiet. If it were loud I would have returned my unit.

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.

Not annoying at all. It is not silent by any means. Just put the blower away from where you will be sitting and it should be alright. I have used mine several times indoors.

The noise level is moderate and what would be expected for what the machine does. The noise has not been an issue for me.

We had an older unit (maybe 10-15 years) it was quite loud. This one is comparably quieter. It is not silent though; it does make noise. I am very happy w our unit... bought another for a different room. I give it (both Friedriches actually) 5 stars.
