Is this fan loud? I would like to use it to help with noise cancellation.

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

It's not bad I use it at camp and it didn't bother me when I sleep first one only lasted I would say about 25 hours of on and off use I did buy another because it is quiet and batteries last a long time

well describing loud is kinda hard but being a centrifugal fan helps it to be quiet, I think the only noise you hear is from the air being blown out. the motor itself you don't hear.

If the fan to which you refer is the convection oven fan, the answer is no, it is not noisy. The unit appears to be well insulated from sound.

The only loud part of this fan is when you adjust the angle, other than that it's very quiet. We have used ours at weddings, graduations among other events that with out them we would have suffered. I hope this helps you.

It isn't a loud fan, but the sound is consistent enough to diffuse sounds from outside. My neighbors have naturally loud kids who bounce basket balls and a guy who saws boards for no reason for hours. My fan makes their noise tolerable. Sometimes I use two fans on opposite sides of a 16'x16' bedroom and I almost don't notice the sawing or if the toddler screams. During the middle of the night one fan is sufficient to prevent the train noise (1 mile away on flat terrain) from disturbing my sleep.

It is not too loud, but it is noticeable due to the fact that the fan is attached to a metal box. I have mine tucked away in a place where I do not hear it unless I'm near it. The benefits outweigh the any sound it produces. You have the option of turning the fan off, if your device has a fan. I prefer having the fan of the box and my device on for optimal cooling. I hope this helps!

On low, it's not loud at all. Since it's a larger fan, it's a bit quieter than the small diameter ones. On the Hi setting, it may be a little loud for your purposes, but I haven't hunted much so am not sure what's considered loud for you. I still think it's worth a try for you for the price to get two of them...

Probably too noisy for routine use that close to conversation, TV, etc. Ours is about 20 ft down a hall and that's OK. Hard to make a fan that is quiet and still puts out the volume that this one does -- you can feel the breeze from it 30+ ft away!

It is pretty loud-but that is one reason I bought it-I use it in my bedroom for ambient noise while I fall asleep (also to keep cool)!

Like all fans this one makes noise, but I think it's pretty quite. I use it for white noise too but not to drowned out traffic. If a leave the window open, the birds outside can still wake me up in the morning, so this is probably not loud enough for you.

It is a bit noisy. I bought some rubber mounts and some insulation material to mount on the fan............I have not installed it yet but for sure the noise can be curtailed one way or the other........could also hang the fan and use short flex duct .......This size of fan with this much air movement is going to be noisy

It's not overly loud, but it's definitely higher pitched than a regular fan. I run a regular fan at night anyway, so I barely hear it.

No not a real loud fan noise, kinda a low sound with a very good wind flow, very powerful breeze. Don't believe it would drowned out trampling dog noise.

"Very loud"? I owned two of these after trying out three different brands/models in the last five years, and both were average noise level of a desktop computer fan. I would say if the noise you're hearing resembles something louder than a desktop computer running, then some thing is up. Good luck!

It's a very noisy fan, even on #1. It moves lots of air, but makes too much noise for me. I'll try to control the speed of the motor sometime....

It's not silent, but the net benefit of a room that I can now inhabit is worth putting up with a little noise. I use this in a room that is my designated home office and I spend a good four hours a day on the phone with this fan going in the background. It doesn't impede my ability to conduct business by telephone.
