Air purifiers double as white noise for us. Is the highest setting loud, as in you could hear it from another room? Thanks!!

Yes, I can hear it just a little when outside the closed door. We usually keep ours on the second setting because that's enough noise for each of our kids.

Yes it does a great job of providing that sound and it can be heard from another room. As dust builds up in the filter the unit gets louder

Hi the Holmes tower is loud on 2 and 3 speeds we mainly run it on 1 and thats ok when we go to bed It gets set on speed 2.I clean it every two weeks and wash out the filters with a filter cleaner. the filters are expensive so I clean them, the foam filter I vac off and clean with soap and water. It does a good job of cleaning the air in our living room, with two dogs.

We have one in our bedroom and one in our daughters bedroom. It has three settings, we keep ours on the medium setting the "white noise" is great for us. The faster setting setting has an even louder sound. The units run 24/7

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.

The "Loudness" depends on where you place it in your attic and what room is below it. The noise from it does not reverberate through the house nor do we have to raise our voices in the room directly below the fan either. It is more "white noise" but is it super quiet? No but I would install it again just not above a bedroom. It's a great fan and quite reliable when installed correctly.

Yes. It just sounds like whooshing air, which is a white noise sound to me so it doesn't bother me. It is by no means loud at all. Quiet is relative, but I'm my opinion, yes it is quiet. I hope that helps. Ps. I love this item regardless

Mine runs moderately loud and I can feel the air coming out. I keep it on high almost constantly, but it really has a hard time keeping the humidity level up even on high,it is better than none at all though.

I don't hear it unless the room is absolutely quiet and I'm listening for it. If anything, the noise is akin to white noise, so it's not at all noticeable.

I have this purifier installed under my kitchen sink. I have to be standing in front of the sink and be closely listening to hear it. If you live in a totally silent house and you're super sensitive to noise, you've shot all the birds because their tweets are too loud. The wife knows to tip toe and speaks in a hush while the kids are certified in noise control (http://www.inceusa.org/about/boardcert). Then maybe...just maybe you'll be bothered by the whisper the system generates while refilling the tank. I am totally satisfied with it....

I use this unit in my shop, so noise is not a factor, on the high mode you can hear the fan, maybe too loud for inside your home. Does an excellent job in my shop.

Yes -- it isn't the quietest air filter in the world. Even at the quietest setting 5' from my bed it does help me get to sleep (i.e.: white noise).

Love my Green Aire. Depending on the fan speed, the higher the speed the noisier it is. But I have owned an alpine air purifyer in the past and find this a quiter machine. I highly recommend!

I have not tried to turn that off. I dont think it is that Loud at all especially when you close the Bathroom door. It probably sounds like the BATH FAn running outside. The Vacuum though allows for NO CLEAN UP which is so great. Never had one before with a Vacuum and I will never buy another one without it. My wife is most happy because she doesnt have to tell me to clean up my hair anymore haha....

Hi Patricia...I had the same thing happen to mine but the high pitched noise eventually occurred on all of the speeds. It was not constant...it would come and go but it was very annoying. Couldn't figure out a way to get into the unit to see what was going on. Seemed to me to be some sort of lubrication issue. In any event we really liked the air purifier so we just purchased a new one. It works great and it's one of the least expensive on the market.

This air purifier on low is whisper quiet at night, no worries. We do throw a cloth over the lights, as they are more bothersome than any noise this makes. Crank it up to medium or high, and the noise is noticeable.

I use it in my family/sewing room - lower level, no windows. I run it all the time mostly on low . Very quiet. Have had to clean it twice. Hepa filters replacement is expensive but I haven't needed to do that. Have had it 2-3 yrs.
