""While no dehumidifier, or indeed appliance, is ever truly silent, some models can come impressively close," explains Katie Lilywhite, Category Buyer at AO. You can expect a dehumidifier to run between 35 decibels (similar to the sound of a whisper) and 50 decibels (comparable to the volume of a normal conversation). So, when choosing your device, try to opt for one with the lowest number possible."
"If you plan to put your dehumidifier in your bedroom, Katie recommends choosing a model below 40 decibels to avoid disrupting your sleep - some even feature a special 'night' or 'quiet' setting that reduces fan speed. For example, the MeacoDry ABC 12L, which our Assistant Editor Sarah tested, features a sleep mode. It's worth bearing in mind that desiccant dehumidifiers are usually the quietest, as they don't have a compressor that produces a lot of noise."
Dehumidifiers usually run between 35 and 50 decibels, roughly a whisper to a normal conversation. Choosing a lower-decibel model reduces the chance of disturbance during long operating periods. For bedroom use, selecting a unit below 40 decibels or one with a night, quiet, or sleep setting that lowers fan speed helps preserve sleep quality. Desiccant dehumidifiers tend to be the quietest because they lack a compressor, which is a common noise source. Some models, such as the MeacoDry ABC 12L, include a sleep mode. Noise can sometimes indicate mechanical issues, so quieter operation is achievable through model selection and settings.
