This doesn't look aerodynamic. How noisy is it?

No noise at all. Had it attached to a Toyota Highlander. We drove across Washington State. It was half full going West and full going East. We weren't as careful strapping down when it was half full and had a little slippage but it is great. We hit rain and not a thing got wet. We even had to pack it in the rain. Very happy with purchase.

If it is packed full it isn't bad at all. If it is just half full then it flaps around. You have to be more careful strapping it to the roof when there's loose material to flap around.

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

I would say it's definitely not quiet. And for me, has gotten louder after a season of use (I now have vibration noises).

Not noisy at all. It sounds lust like my rolling brief case. The wheels glide very smothly.

At low or medium, its like a babbling brook... On High, it kicks up quite a bit, but doesn't bother me. I run it on high all day, and turn it to medium for sleeping. As NFB replied, its like white noise, no tonal pitches, just a smooth fan sound.

It's as quiet as this type of air pump gets. Not to say there isn't a little hum, but it's not obnoxious at all. The real sound problems are with the "commercial" type air pumps. They make it sound like take-off is imminent. I've used both types so I have first hand knowledge of the sound they produce. Hope this helps a little. West from Florida

yes it is very noisy. a high pitched (loud) whine. and it blows air out of the back (into your face, depending on your position) while you are using it.

I would say the noise level is about the same as others. Maybe just ever so slightly quieter. I bought it because it is very light in weight.

It is very quiet. Even at high speed. I owned a bike stand as well and it is not as noisy as those.

In my opinion, yes, it is relatively quiet. At least not as noisy as some others i have used.

Well, actually it has some noise when it blows, but not that noisy, I'm OK with it.

I have experienced no noise with this stroller. It's really heavy duty, and I've used it off-road.

I do not think it is very noisey. In fact I have opened it up to see if it was working because it is so quiet.

It is about as "loud" as my desktop computer. All you hear is a slight "breeze" coming from the motor's fan. It isn't bothersome at all.

It's quite quiet - even on maximum speed i can barely tell that's on. It's kind of like a moderate whisper of air, you know it's there, but it's quite smooth and soft. I've had it running pretty much non stop since I bought it and it's delivered excellently. I sometimes forget it's even there until I put my hand up to the front of it to feel the rush of air.

No, it's not really noisy. It has a hum and vibrates a little.My 2 dogs let me use it on them without any problem.

It is not particularly noisy. It cycles automatically over a preset timed cycle that the operator sets. We have been very happy with this product..
