I bought this fan for my bedroom, it's the best fan I've ever bought it's so quiet I can't even hear it running. It costs more than most fans on the market but it's well worth the money as it's a better quality made fan. I had bought a different brand of fan and took it back because it was too loud and very cheaply made. I'm so happy I put out the extra money and bought a Rowenta I plan on buying another one for my living room, it's the only brand I will ever buy.
