This fan is noisy! You can hear the motor and it is loud. Not subtle, but a loud turning sound. I've had the worst luck with purchases from Wayfair lately. This fan is yet another disappointment. I took a video of it but you can only upload photos. Blades aren't very nice either, not wood like most fans. If it wasn't a hassle to install, I would return it. We had to install thru the attic because it too big to just use the hole and electrical from my chandelier and standard light fixtures. Keep that in mind, you'll need someone with electrical experience, plus construction because you'll need to find studs, crawl up in the attic to brace it, etc. AND it doesn't just use your light switch, it has a remote so I have to turn on my switch then go to the remote to change the settings.
