Is it quiet? How much can you rotate & tilt fan without moving base?

Yes, this fan is very quiet. It rotates all the way around, so you can face it in any direction. For up-and-down tilting, it has a very wide range of tilt. I'm not sure exactly how many degrees, but so far I've had no trouble getting to face the way I want. All in all it's a great fan!

Reasonably quiet & has lots of flexibility with regards to rotation & tilt options

Pretty quiet. These units don't work by pushing a lot of air, so the fan is relatively small.

Sorry for the delayed answer. The fan is not at all loud. Definitely less noise than my full-sized HP.

The fan tilts both up and down...Do NOT tilt fan manually, use the oscillating feature to get to the desired position, then turn the oscillating feature off.

NO! It is ABSOLUTELY very quiet even when oscillating. I love my my fan it's great!

It is really more about what fans you put in it and how fast you have them set up to spin. The case itself has no sound proofing, so if you buy several loud fans and have them spin quickly, it will be loud, fewer/quieter fans spinning slower will be quieter. If noise is a concern I would suggest Noctua fans and an aftermarket cooler (this will support closed loop liquid if you're willing, otherwise check out a Hyper 212 Evo or similar). My setup with 4 Cooler Master fans (including the aforementioned Hyper 212 Evo) at idle (~60% fan spin) I would rate a 5-6, you only notice it if the room is quiet, but it is pretty obvious then. Going full tilt doesn't change it that much, maybe a 7, but with headphones on you won't notice it at all (you'll rarely run a decent desktop 100% during normal use anyway).

Yes it is as quiet as can be expected...usually the noise generated from a PSU fan is the bearings starting to wear...we had a great experience with this fan...hope this helps..

I meant that the fan is wind noisy. It does not rattle. The wind noise is not extreme, but other fans of the same size that I have without remotes are quieter.

It does tilt down and it seems like a strong fan. However, be aware that the packaging stinks. I bought two and had to send both back as the switch was broken out of the housing. Check this before you assemble it.

The fan is quiet compared to other fans however the fan may develop a squeezing sound when rotating which made me return mine.

@Jim J., yes it does tilt/swivel down as well as up. Once you get the downwards or upwards tilt to your liking, you can 'fix' it in that position by tightening the knobs on the sides, for a secure placement. Just fyi, for the amount of air that the fan pushes out, the noise level is minimal as well. Hope this answers your question.

Its definitely not quiet, but is quieter than others in this price range. It does not have annoying splashy sounds like some others do. Vibration will really depend on how well you install it. I have it in my bedroom about 2 feet away from the bed and can sleep fine, but my wife sometimes complains that its a bit loud for her. One of the pluses of this unit is that the air is aimed up, instead of in your face.

The fan will has a switch to either oscillate or remain stationary. It does not have a switch to control the vertical tilt though.

Yeah. As long as you fix up those small stands provided, it stays pretty stable. I leave it on cardboard for an elevated state, and its as steady as a rock. But if you prefer like a pin drop silent night's sleep, this fan gets noisy as you up the speed. That's the only negative. But that has never been an issue for me so, I say its a great choice for the price. Hope this helped.

Not sure, but I can say this fan is very quiet, very directional, and moves a lot of air for its size

It's a 4" fan, and it isn't completely quiet. It makes a sort of 'white noise' kind of thing. Not very problematic, unless you're looking for total silence. It is definitely not a problem for me, and I have it right next to me on a nightstand.

It's probably about as quiet as a box fan but in general, this fan is not quiet. I find the lowest setting to push too much air and is too noisy.
