I purchased 2 and both are quite quiet as opposed to other models I have had. Quiet is relative though I guess. I for example, need a fan going to sleep at night.

It certainly makes some noise, but not at a level that's disturbing to conversations or otherwise. We're happy with it.

I guess it depends on where you are going to use it. By your bed at night, maybe a little noisy, on a screened in back patio, pretty quiet. Overall I would lean towards quiet.

Well, I think quiet is relative. It's a lot less noisy than some blow dryers I've owned, but it still makes noise...more like an air blowing "hum" than a loud gushing air sound. Hope that makes sense!

When the fan function is on it makes a fan noise. I don't find it especially loud as far as heater fans go. No beeps. There are two settings: flame and heat, flame heat and fan. So if you don't need the blowing heat it's quiet. However, its a better heater with the fan on.

The heater has no discernible sound when running. We have it in a very quiet room, and there is no sound at all. We are very pleased with it.

Hi Katherine....this heater is very quiet. We use it in our pop up truck camper and it works great. Go for it. Jim

Its not a consideration. It's not as loud as my himidifier, not as loud as the air circulating through my ductwork, not as loud as the AC. I might put it on par with, I dont know what. I actually didn't notice the noise so I can't recall. I guess it can't be that loud.

Yes it is. It's a great heater. I let my son use it last year so he had some extra heat for my Grandaughter. If it would fall over ,it shuts off. It's quiet. It rotates back and forth. Make just a little turning sound. Nothing that bothered anyone.Also used it in one of my offices that has no heat at all. I was very pleased. Plus has a filter witch is easy to clean. Hope this helps.

As space heaters go, it's quieter than most, but all space heaters are noisy to some degree. I guess it depends on the size of the room and the sensitivity of the microphone. As long as the two weren't right next to each other, you'd probably be okay with this one.

I do not have any information on DB rating of the heater or any way to measure it. However, I can say that the level of sound from the heater is dependent upon the mode it is operating in. When operating at full output, the fan is operating at high speed and thus generates a level of sound consistent with any fan operated room heater which I would classify as moderately noisy. When operating at "idle" speed it is very quiet all of which is dependent upon the thermostat setting relative to room temperature. If you desire a very quiet heater, then I would suggest a radiant type heater that does not have a fan.

Quite a bit quieter than my old one. On the high setting you can still hear it, but I generally use the middle setting and it is much more efficient and WAY quieter. Remember you are getting about 80% of the flow for 50% of the electricity, and about half the noise.

Mine is noisy, but kind of a white noise. If I had it in the bedroom, it would not bother me, but I like that type of noise to be able to cover for other random noises from outside. It is most definitely NOT a quiet unit, though.

Mr. Heater seems to keep improving these units. I just bought mine in September of this year, and it was manufactured in May of this year (2013). I bought it at a local big box store.The fan on this unit seems pretty quiet. Certainly not noisy as others have reported in the past. You will hear the fan, but is smooth sounding an not obtrusive. My guess is that they've improved the fan quality in these current units.

Considering its power, yes it is quiet. I live in an apt. and use it very early in the morning and some late nights --- and no one has ever complained.

It is relatively quiet; you are going to hear some sound out of any heater. But, it certainly does not make a lot of noise.

I gotta say I feel it's pretty quiet and I've my share of heaters in the last few years. The best part for me is the dial because I have bad arthritis it's just super easy to use. I spoke to my mom this morning on speakerphone next to the heater as I have a north facing apartment and it's cold, but she didn't say anything and I could hear her just fine. Hope this helps!

In my opinion, it's not noisy. I think it's more quiet than a window AC. I really like the hum of the motor, and it doesn't bother me at all.

Yes there is soft "clicks" when it first comes on but there are not as loud as previous baseboard heaters we had in the past. Once it is on and hot the periodic cycling makes less noise. My wife says she notices more than I do, but neither of us are bothered by it, and it is in our bedroom.
