we have it on a 10 by20 porch and when on low you can talk, if its on high turn up the tv. To me it is fine but it is a matter of taste.

If you're in the same room, when the compressor kicks in, you'll need to increase the volume on your TV. It's not horrible, but it's not quiet either. Worth it for the cool it delivers.

It makes about the sane noise as a comparable Window unit. I have it in the wall slot right by my couch. I have to increase the volume on my TV by a couple clicks when the A.C. is running.

Yes, it's very quiet. Also, it depends on the shoes you're wearing. The lighter the shoes, the better but strictly speaking of the motor itself, it is very quiet. I hope this helps!

I don't think its very loud at all. A quiet whir. I wish I knew what to compare it to. The rinse cycle on a dishwasher? Low setting on a hair dryer?

Relatively quiet, at first. It can get loud though, when the water gets low or when the motor gets clogged with cat fur. Until then, it's just a soft hum.

For the most part, yes. There is a very faint hum of the motor and a bit of a trickle. I actually had to go turn one on to see if it made noise as it is not something intrusive at all. I have three of them in our house.

The motor is very quiet, don't hear it at all but it does have a strong waterfall sound. Sounds like you are in a spa, so if you find the water noise soothing you should be good. If you are looking for very quiet then this one might be too loud for you.

The sound of the motor is not loud or annoying...not in my estimation. It's performance outweighs the sound it makes. It's well worth the money.

The motor is loud. But u can cover it while using the motor which does decrease noise...I did that when I did not want to wake grandchild.

It's the sound of a fan blowing. No motor noise. On low it's quiet. On high u hear lots a wind noise. High is powerful.

When it's on the lowest setting it makes a low motor sound. On medium and high it is definitely louder. High is almost too noisy for me.

Well, there is a certain element of noise as the motor works to turn the fan, but it's a white noise, a quiet noise if you will. There are certainly no ticking or whizzing or whining noises. I put it on and forget it's going. I've been quite happy with mine.

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

Not normal! No motor noise, maybe just a hum. Unless the motor is not stationed firmly and is maybe vibrating, I would return. Mine is so quiet, I sometimes forget it is there until I here running water!

I don't think it's loud at all! It has a slight hum when the motor kicks on.

I do NOT know why they requested I answer this question for you. I however have not had any motor trouble. Mine every once in a while will vibrate way to loud. But I don't run mine 247. I keep it off most days. It's on to allow the cat's or the kids that are over here to have a little fun & watch it but other than that I don't keep it on 247 it makes more noise than I prefer. I hope you are able to get your motor fixed.

yes. I guess "noisey" is relative. We are very happy with ours. It is much quieter than the one it replaced.

Extremely acceptable noise level. Of course there is a motor noise, but it certainly doesn't 'scream at you', if that's what you mean.
