not too noisy, but draws air very fast. i bought it just to move stale air and cooking smells from the living room.and it does it no problem. and also pulls air from well outside the room, place a piece of cotton in your hand,and watch it move gently, i dare say a few minutes longer and it would refresh the hole bungalo, this will keep me sane in summer.being chineese, the wiring in the connection box needed tweeking, otherwise a good fan
