Just how quiet is this please? I'm trying to find a cooling solution for my (very warm) audio closet for voice work. Cheers.

It's actually very quiet and pretty cooling for such a small fan. Sometimes i dont even realize its on and forget to such it off cause its so quiet.

Great question! The amp is well vented, but I don't know if there is a cooling fan or simply vented. I have never heard any ambient or mechanical noise in the unit. I have now purchased 3 systems because of their portability, simplicity, and clean sound. There are better and louder systems available, but for us this is the perfect little set up.

I have two of these units and they work well, BUT they are noisy! I use them in my workshop, so it doesn't matter, but for sleeping you might consider a portable radiator - very little noise. I preheat my bedroom with a noisy heater and at bedtime, switch to the radiator. Works for me!

It's pretty quiet. Like any other room fan, just background noise. It turned out to be really helpful this winter....definitely worth the $

Katherine , It Makes Less Noise Than My Old One! It's Still Fairly/Med Quiet. Kat

Yeah, its pretty quiet. Mine's especially quiet lately, I really should get on it again. :)But to answer your question, I don't think it would be an irritant to the people below.

Hmmm...not sure about the fan, but I haven't heard it and I normally sit within arm's reach of it when using it. I am not using it in a super quiet location, such as a studio, however. When packing up after two hours of use I haven't noticed that the unit is hot.

Agree with other comments. I think it's pretty quiet, but not for a library atmosphere.Haven't had any issues with USB (I have two of these)

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.

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 would say it's whisper quiet. I would even go so far as to say someone in the same room might not be able to hear it. Thank you for shopping with DGS Novelties.

quiet, although i have it mounted in a cabinet. I've never been aware of it.

There is barely any noise from this laptop and I love that. It does get warm though but only as warm as expected, not hot, and only during gaming. It stays at roughly room temp during desktop use.

I would definitely look for quieter fan. Scale of 1-10 . 10 being loudest. This fan would be a 7. You can insulate it and make it quieter. There is some really quiet fans out there. Most people use these in attics or in an insulated box. Google it and there is alot of info out there.

I have had 2 and both were extremely quiet. I don't think this would work for your needs.

We are using it in a salon atmosphere where blow dryers are going throughout the day, so I had not noticed if there was much "noise" coming from the unit. Also, we keep it in the back of the salon where it is coolest in the winter. It doesn't appear to be loud but yes, I can hear it blowing when I am close by. Being I'm not in a quiet environment I'm not sure this answer is going to be much help. Have a nice day.

To be honest it's not really quiet but not annoyingly loud either. I have 3 of them in a rack mount in my 12 x 15 ft. living space and don't really notice them unless it's really quiet. Hope that helps! You'll love the power. The 4000 isn't much more cost wise if need a little xtra zing! I have 4 - 12" into 4 ohm drivers and that's what i use.
