How noisy is it, as I'm planning on indoor use in a one-bedroom apartment?

It is noisy. It is best used when the sun has gone down and it starts getting cool outside. with the door open it feels like there is air-conditioning.

It's pretty noisy (from the fan). Don't know how big your apt is, but this is a very large unit. I was quite surprised when I got it. Good unit to help keep things cool(er), but it is quite noisy. Also, since other people have asked this...this is an evap cooler, if you live in a wet humid climate you do not want this type of cooler.

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.

It's noisy. It vibrated a lot. I live in an apartment and I didn't want to disturb the neighbors. Now this thing lives in my closet.

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.

Will probably be fine. This one is quiet but if you are directly over the other bedroom they may hear some noise bit probably no more than you walking on the floors?

It isn't silent, but by no means would I describe it as noisy. Just a low hum. Have it in my small bedroom and no problem...and I don't like noise. Energy wise the only time my bill goes up is during air conditioning weather. I live in NY. I am going to buy another one for my other bedroom I like it that much.

It is loud which is why I chose it..however if your neighbors will hear it really depend on how thin your walls are as well as where you have the timer located in your apt... so keep it on the lowest volume setting and keep it away from any shared walls and you should be fine.

The closest thing I can say its as loud as maybe tapping in a Pringles potato chip container with pens. I think you should be ok for apartment living. I'm moving into a condo next year and I am still going to play on it.

I would say it was pretty quiet. I mean, you can hear the fan but it is not annoying. In fact, I think it would be rather soothing in a bedroom - kind of like white noise.

You will have no issues with noise with this unit. It is a very quite motor and especially at the speed of 1.5 you will barely hear anything

Not at all noisy, although if it doesn't lay flush up against the wall you may have to put something in between the bed and wall to avoid noise during certain times :)

No, it doesn't make much noise. The unit is heavy enough to minimize vibration to the floor. My wife easily watches TV in the same room when I'm using it.

Ours is in an office laboratory with other noises as well so I can't really say if it's noisy. The only time I really hear it is when I open the door. Hopefully this helps with your decision.

Are you referring to the amount of noise it makes when its running? My unit is in storage for the winter, so I cannot measure for you, but I can attest that it is no louder than the average window unit.

Admittedly, I have the smallest unit, but it is absolutely whisper-quiet. I can hear it a tiny bit if nothing else is on in the room. If anything, it's a tiny bit of white noise (which is a good thing at night, as it masks other noises).

Ummm.. It is defnitely loud enough for an apartment.. My apartment is just about 900 sqft.. But if you have huge spaces and you want the sound everywhere perhaps something additional will suit you..

No, I think you would be ok. It does make noise and vibrate, but it does not bother someone in another room. At least that is the experience in our home.

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.
