Is it noisy or quiet when drying, fan on? Does the fan stop when temperature is reached? Thanks!

Fan is quiet. The unit hums like fan on low speed. The fan is always running regardless of temperature setting. The temperature knob is like your stove knob, to set desired heat. You do have to adjust the termperature a couple of times during dehydrating cycle. The reason is when food is wet, you need more heat. When it is dryer, you need less heat to maintain the same temperature (you should own a thermometer to check temperature). It's not too often... more like every hour or so to check on it. TSM does have a newer model of 5 trays that have autp temp control if desired. Another note about the fan... if your temperature is too high and you turn down the temperature drastically, the fan speed will be higher and thus noisier. Easy solution is to open the door to cool it down faster for a little while. Otherwise, TSM is awesome.

It does make noise, but to me no more than a fan on low speed. I believe I can hear the fan going on and off due to the temperature, but I do not recall for sure.

Not noisy at all. It's very quiet and it does not get hot at all. But it is not in an enclosed space. I recently bought another one.

The unit itself does not get hot. The front grate where heat it dispensed obviously gets warm. As far as the noise goes, the fan is not terribly loud, although I tend to run mine when I first go to bed and like the white noise. Overall I absolutely love this little thing! Highly recommend it!

It's about average it's not real quiet but I have had dryers that were much louder. I don't believe there really is a quiet hair dryer out there no matter what the cost is. I don't think there is any hair dryer out there that can really be quiet, there has to be a motor and fan.

It doesn't make any noise unless the heat is on..... then you can hear the fan.

Not noisy. Of course, it is a heavy duty, thus you will hear a humming from the air flow. Excellent fan.

It's noisy about the same as most dryers. It's not one that advertises to be quiet.

Well, I think quiet is relative. It's a lot less noisy than some blow dryers I've owned, but it still makes noise...more like an air blowing "hum" than a loud gushing air sound. Hope that makes sense!

No detectable noise and no fan that I saw. However, there are vents along the side so I'm guessing there is some kind of ventilation system to keep it cool. Whatever or however it does that, noise is not a factor.

It's more like a very small fan. I'd say it is relatively quiet. It's not a rattling sound or anything. I usually use mine at night so it's ready by morning.

Fan is loud. We turned it off. We Have only one device inside so no problem with heat.

When the fan function is on it makes a fan noise. I don't find it especially loud as far as heater fans go. No beeps. There are two settings: flame and heat, flame heat and fan. So if you don't need the blowing heat it's quiet. However, its a better heater with the fan on.

It's relatively quiet for a fan. Anytime you have fan blades moving air, you have a hum, of course, just from the friction with the air, but there is little to no motor sound. I find it quite steady and quiet.

It's pretty quiet compared to other dryers. I mostly got it because of how light weight it is. And I'm sure that with a smaller motor, that helps with the sound.

The noise level of this dehumidifier is very quiet compared to any dehumidifier I've ever heard. The fan does run continuously so that the humidity level in the room is accurately monitored. To me the noise is like a fan on low or medium, depending on the speed setting of the dehumidifier. I hope this helps.

I would not describe it as quiet. But I know what you mean, it's not quite as loud as other travel dryers.

It's pretty quiet with the fan running. It's virtually silent with the fan turned off.
