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 :)

Julie, I have the whole fan unit that I installed but a customer didn't like it, you can buy the one I have. It was barely used. $30 cash ok? Greg - acrescue@rocketmail.com

is the fan leveled? Mine is a bit loud but that's just the fan. Honest I got used to it being a little loud

It is loud but not to the point of that. Mine is in the bedroom with the TV and I have it on normal level sound. When fan is running can hardly hear it but once the air kicks in its definitely louder. Hope this helps.

It is pretty loud, but it moves a ton of air! I use it in my workout room and the noise is fine. If you plan on using it near a TV or while sleeping, it might be a little too loud.

Well, weird as it may seem, I am looking for a fan that actually makes a noticeable hum/sound. We use it as a sound conditioner and to drown out external noise when sleeping. Does anyone know of one that would meet that requirement? Ours is about to quit, and it is not the time of year to find one in a retail store. Thank you.

I haven't had any issues yet, other than an occasional sound bug where it will go in and out, where I have to restart the system. no yellow light of doom just yet, but i've only had it for a few weeks now, hopefully that doesn't arrive to my console. you can definitely tell a difference in quality from the original ps3s tho. this one feels kinda cheap. it has a sliding door for the disks where as the other one was built kinda like the ps4. in retrospect id rather have the old style ps4. it was sleeker and didn't look and feel as cheap

It's not bad at the low fan setting. Very noisy at high level though and if you forget to turn it off and sit down to eat with it on you will quickly get up and turn it off.

Hi. I haven't installed it yet. But as soon as I do, I'll let you know. I'm hoping it is quieter. It may be another couple of weeks (mid-August) before I get it installed. Thanks! Stay tuned.

Perceived level of noise can be kind of subjective, but I don't find that it bothers me. It is not silent, but I have not turned on fans or wall AC units before due to noise and this one does not seem to interfere with my need of quiet.

It's not very loud. I sleep with the ceiling fan on and this thing too, and sometimes I can't tell if it's on. The fan is basically what you would find in a computer tower so the noise is minimal. A slight humm if anything

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.

It's pretty loud. Manufacture specs say 50dB, I'd say that just about right. It's about the same noise as one of the old box style fans.

It's as loud as any other portable. It's louder when the condenser is on vs just the fan. You'll get used to it though.

I might just be so used to it running all the time that I just don't notice it but I would compare it to a regular fan on low. It not 'noisy' at all. It doesn't bother me or distract me from what's on tv, I don't need to turn the volume up on the tv when it's on. Hope that helps.
