Is this fan loud? My wife sleeps doing the day and uses 2 small box fans as cover noise. A house is being built next door so she wants a louder fan.

This fan moves a Lot of air, so it is fairly loud. I expected it to be a little more quiet given the listed decibel ratings, but I am completely happy with it due to the air movement.

I wish I could answer your question accurately. I am using this unit out in process line to help dry some product that I am running and because of the back ground noise cannot really tell if it is loud or not. I can tell you that the quality seems to be of high standards.

Yes, even on low it is loud, from the fan blades pushing the air. It registers on my decibel meter at around 50 decibels at where I sleep. I use it to drown out the neighbors annoying yapping dog at 2am. As well as cats that fight outside my window. It moves tho a impressive amount of air.

I don't think it is real loud, but, I bought them for the horse stalls, and you can hear them, but they are not so loud that you cannot have a conversation. We have 10-20 going at a time.

In my opinion it sounds like a two speed fan .Set it on Low or high speed for consistant sound.I like the same level of sound wave all night.

Wrt the first part of the question, I have the fan about 8' from me when watching television and the noise level is quite low. I'm somewhat hard of hearing so I suspect it would be quiet enough for you. As for sleeping, the high speed does generate a soothing level of white noise in my bedroom, just as you want. I move it to that room when I go to sleep.

I've only heard one other fan, it was like a hum. Ours is above our bedroom & walk in closet. It's like a free standing fan as far as noise. I don't reallynotice it as we've got two ceiling fans going at the same time. If the ceiling fans are off I hear the attic fan but it doesn't keep me from falling asleep.

Loud... Not suited for bedrooms if you're planning on sleeping. The fan makes a wobbling hum that is very distracting if you're a light sleeper or when you're waking up in the morning and want to stay up in bed just a bit more. The oscillating feature also makes its own noise, so you get 3 levels of noticeable noise.

I use my fan outside on the porch, so I can't say for sure that the motor doesn't have a whine to it, but I don't think it does. Sitting next to it outside in the middle of the afternoon is different than sleeping with it all night. It definitely makes noise, but it's more in line with air movement and maybe a little mechanical noise.

Its pretty quiet. I run it at night on the lowest speed while sleeping. It's not silent, but probably the quietest fan I've owned. During the day, with more ambient noise, I hardly notice the fan is on, unless its blowing on me.

If it's on low you can barely hear it, but on high it's kind of loud. It doesn't bother me, but if you're sensitive to noise, you might find it irritating. Great fan though. I've had it for a while and it's working perfect.

Yes, this fan is plenty loud. I bought it because I like noise when I sleep. It fills that purpose.

I don't know. I keep a fan running in the bedroom year round but this thing, even on it's low setting, was too loud. Even in the daytime it was quite annoying.... so I gave it to my son. I will not buy one of these (this brand) again. It seemed to be a good fan it was just ridiculously loud.

by no means is this a quite fan. they are great but you can hear from one end of 3 bedroom house to the other. not outside,about like having your stove fan on high(like in someone else's answer)is the perfect description. if you dont want it to be heard by visitors ,that will be within one wall seperating ,it may be too loud. but like i said it is worth the price i ha mine 2 years

This fan isn't necessarily completely quiet but I wouldn't consider this fan on the noisy side either, so if you want a loud fan look elsewhere.

It does not sound like a regular fan. You can turn it low to high. To me, it's white noise, blocking out other sounds, but not annoying like a regular fan. It's pleasant :)

It sounds like a normal fan. It's not extremely loud, but it does make noise. It works extremely well. I have a one bedroom as well and I love it.

Its VERY quite on fan, I would say on par with a split unit, even for a noise sensitive person like me (noise level is the only thing I look at when getting AC unit for bedroom), but when the compressor is running it does make a louder noise. I sleep with earplugs regardless, this is the only unit that won't wake me up at night.

For a box fan I would consider it to be on the quiet side. I use this fan every night to help me get to sleep (setting 1) and like it much more in comparison to a cheaper one I purchased from Walmart. This one is quieter and much more suitable for that purpose for me.
