how quiet is the fan

It's a low cost fan so it's not super quiet. Since use is limited, it's not objectionable.

quiet enough, but it is a FAN, if you can not expect total silence. The motor needs to turn:)

Depends where you mount it, sheet metal is very loud. But where I mounted it is out of ear shoot

I wouldnt call it a 'quiet' fan. But neither is it loud. I would put it right in the middle. We can leave it on and not hear it in the bedroom attached to the bathroom if the door is closed, just a low hum, but easy to sleep through. I did notice that it got a little bit louder after a few months of installing it, but I may just need to clean it a little.

Depends where you mount it. Ours is in the joists in the basement so it does make more noise than if in an upper floor. Just insert some foam between the fan sides and whatever you are attaching it too. It is a fan and you will hear it.

It's pretty quiet. When I have my computer on I don't even hear it, only the sound of the fans in the computer.

It's pretty quiet. I wouldn't record webcam videos and stuff with it 'cause it does make background noise, but it's not bad at all. About the same as any box fan. The one thing (that's been mentioned in several reviews) is the USB cable has a tendency to get pushed into the fan blades a little bit, at which point it makes a high-pitched grating sound, but tug on the USB cable gently from the back and that's solved quickly. It is a tad unnerving though.

This fan is quiet, however this is a circulation fan it has more power than normal fans. I have it on low on my night stand while sleeping

It is not too loud; about the same as a window fan. I have mine in the bedroom, and I would not be able to sleep if it was very noisy.

This is one of the quietest fan I've ever used. I bought it because I saw my officemate had one it barely made any noise.

I consider this fan quiet. Even at low speed (on #1 setting) the fan pushes a lot of air.

It's more like a very small fan. I'd say it is relatively quiet. It's not a rattling sound or anything. I usually use mine at night so it's ready by morning.

It is more quiet. But, for the $$$, I would not buy it again, and I'd go with a cheap fan.

It isn't loud at all. There is a slight hum, but not one you really notice. If you ever heard a small fan, the ones you push the button and they blow in your face, it's kind of like that.

We run ours on low & it's in the far corner of the room, so in ours is very quiet. It depends on what speed you run it on & how far you are from it.

You can hear the fan when its running, but I don't think it is loud. I put on music when I was using it and I wasn't bothered by the sound of the fan.

Very quiet. The only time you will hear it is when it clicks on or clicks off.

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.

I just put the fan on, maximum. The noise is not loud at all. U can barely notice it. I bought around 2 other fans at the same time this is by far the best fan. It looks better than picture does it justice and its not noisy at all.

It is pretty quiet. It sounds like a quiet fan blowing. Nothing more than that.

In my opinion it is very quiet. I was surprised by how much air such a quiet fan could move.
