is this unit noisy? I want it for my kids' rooms, but don't want to be afraid to turn it on when they are already sleeping.

I use this in my 9 yr old daughter's room every night. We love it!! It doesn't seem too noisy in my opinion. Just wish it ran a little longer........we get about 4 1/2 hours out of it before water runs out.

It does make a slight humming noise, I don't consider it to be loud. It doesn't disturb me and I don't believe it will wake up your children! Hope this helps :)

It can become noisy is you don't follow the cleaning instructions. Also I'd suggest to set their room up and tunr this on prior to them going to bed. Any noise that it does put out is really just white noise; we feel it helps our kids sleep.

No, its not noisy. but you can hear it, its a soft sound maybe like a small fan, its not an annoying sound.

It is not really noisy, but you can kind of hear it a little bit, don't think it would be a problem.....just kind of a hummm.

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).

Mine is quiet until it is under load. I use it as an alarm clock to wake the kids for school. Can't use it on weekends until after 9am.

The noise of the blower is close to the sound of a hair dryer. The noise doesn't bother me or the kids at all. They love playing in it. Yea the noise is definitley not a problem. Whenever I blow it up for them I use it in my living room (my living room is pretty big).It is something that is good for the children to have, something that they can have year round, not just for thier birthday`s!

The fan is pretty quiet. I have one each in my children's bedroom and they haven't complained about the noise. Have had it for almost a year now I think. They have used it during the winter too in the reverse to circulate the warm air.

Not sure what you mean by 'noise level'. You know this is not a generator, right? The only time it makes noise is when you use the compressor for air inflation. Other than that, you won't get noise complaints from neighbors if you use it to power a TV or computer.

Very, very quiet. I did research this before buying and was happy with results. It is in our bedroom and very unobtrusive. Doesn't interfere with sleeping. Good luck.

Sort of. You can turn the volume off and the unit will blink when it picks up noise, but it will not turn the volume up. Of course, this will not wake you up should you be sleeping. The best solution is to just to keep the volume on. At worst, there's some white noise in the background, but you will hear every sound the child makes.

It actually has a noticeable humm. I usually turn it on at night so it doesn't require you to turn up the tv. However, I keep it running in my room all the time because I like it. I would compare the sound to a big floor fan. If not trying to hear tv or radio it probably will not bother you at all.

It is not 100% silent of course but also not noisy at all I bought it for the kids room and they sleep through the night without any trouble. I do not have any complaints about this product!!

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.

It's not noisy but not perfectly quiet. Just a low humming sound. I have used it in my bedroom and it did not keep my awake but some people are more sensitive to sounds than others.

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.

Hi, It really depends if the noise bothers you or not. In terms of mini fridges it is on the noisy side, however it never actually bothered me and it's in my bedroom. A friend of mine complained once when sleeping right next to it so I muffled it by putting an unused bedsheet in between the fridge and the wall. So bottom line, it makes noise when running its cycles every so often, but it's by far not unbearable and it can be muffled

I have mine in the playroom and away from anywhere we sit to watch tv. Noise for me is not an issue.

It's actually not too loud. I use it for my toddler so he knows when we are transitioning to new activities. I have a baby and she can sleep through it entirely. It's not obnoxious loud and it is not too quiet either. My mother in law uses this for her class and she loves it.

I have only had the unit one night, but the fan noise does seem a little loud. Which is unfortunate because I kept reading how quiet it is and that is one of the main reasons I bought one. Not sure if it is just my unit, or if this is just how normally loud it is for others? Also, my fan ALWAYS seems to be running, even if I am not pushing it hard at all.
