Are these APs noisy? I am planning to place them in bedrooms that have no background noise and have read complaints on Ubiquiti's website.

You will hear a faint clicking sound. I use them in a school setting and I only notice it when I am close to the device.

I have installed close to 16 of them and have yet to hear anything out of these units ....I have also installed in various locations and distances to power using Poe and again no noise I'm not sure where that review came from and what there using to power it or hat far it was away but I still haven't heard anything come from the unit

Should be OK as long as you do not use excessive volume. I use them while my wife sleeps and she has not complained.

I have two of them running in my home Internet gateway router and can't hear them. Very quiet.

No. They are very queit speakers in terms of noise. Check your source and make sure your levels aren't causing the noise.

Have had no noise with our unit. Very quiet.... but try it and if does not stop, send back. Hope this helps

I had never heard that. I have not had any power issues with them. I sent a set of these to a friend in WA to use when he travels. He said they are working just fine and have really increased his reception.

I have 6 of these installed on a mud room cabinet. They don't make any noise. I would guess that any noise you are hearing is coming from your 12V power supply, otherwise known as the LED "driver". Try testing the lights by powering them with a 12V battery to see if the lights are making the noise or not. Good luck.

No, but I have two computers, a NAS, router, switch, and two air cleaners and a few other items on in my computer room. I can't believe you are hearing a sound from the power supply. If you do, I would go online and Google it to see if others have said something. I have two of these with no problems.

They sound great to me but I'm no audiophile. Mine are in the living room, and I enjoy them just fine. I like the fact that theres' no wires (except inside walls).

We use ours in conjunction with a desktop computer, so they seem very quiet by comparison. They're small and plastic so there isn't much to rattle or make much noise. :)

It's not super noisy but it's not whisper quiet either. I have mine in the living room, I don't know that it'd be good for running overnight in a bedroom. Also, I live in NYC and probably have a higher noise tolerance than people who live in rural or suburban areas.

If they are charged they should be fine indoors. They have a small on/off switch on the top. They are not really bright but would be quite handy in an outage. I will have to keep that in mind :)

I hooked them up to my surround sound receiver. I don't think they're built to CRANK UP and rock the house, but I have them outside on my deck and they're on 24/7 (I listen to KKJZ's online stream--jazzandblues.org). I'm in a quiet neighborhood, and so I remember a couple of times at night I had the music on a bit too loud, so I had to turn it down. Anyway, the basic receiver works fine with me.

I have four units and they do not make noise. It could be the surrounding area that is interfering, try moving the unit to another space that is open and not near wireless equipment.

They're on the louder side. I have mine next to my desk and it hardly bothers me, but if you want something very quiet, you'll want to get different fans.

Hi TBC. I've never run more than 2 of these units at the same time, but I think as long as you set the frequency of each unit to a different available pre set frequency (there's a choice of many -- 20 or more?-- built in to these babies), you shouldn't have interference. Of course this supposes that the space where you're using them doesn't have native RF or frequency noise happening within any of the frequencies you set your units to. I have yet to get much external frequency interference or noise in the frequency ranges at which these units operate. Good luck.

I've never used these as a AP, only as a bridge. But other Ubiquiti I have used normally can handle 50 users. Depending what bandwidth the users need I normally never go over 30 per AP and I use a controller to handle the AP's. When I go this route I use Netgear equipment WNDAP360 AP's
