I have the Heater Pro X in my bedroom and it works fine, but I’m wondering if the fan noise is normal. It’s not loud or anything, just noticeable when the room is otherwise silent. Does it bother anyone else at night, or is this just how these small heaters sound? Maybe I’m just a light sleeper.

Mine sits about three feet from the bed and the fan is a low hum I stopped hearing after the first week or so. What got me was the little click when the thermostat kicks in and out, not the fan itself. If your room is dead quiet you’ll notice it, but it blends into the background once you’re used to it.

Mine is a constant low fan sound, not silent like the box suggests. Doesn’t bug me, but if you’re a light sleeper I get why it would. It’s a small heater with a fan in it, there’s going to be some noise.

Mine lives on my nightstand and I only really pick it up when the room is dead quiet, like in the middle of the night. During the day I forget it’s even running. I did notice it sounds a little different on the higher setting though, more of a whoosh than a hum.

Small fan heaters always have some noise. If the room is dead silent, you will hear it. That is just how these things work. The marketing calling it silent is the part I would ignore.

The noise is normal, but I’d push back on the idea that you just have to live with it. I had a similar small heater before this one and the fan whine drove me nuts after a few nights, so I moved it across the room and it was fine. Distance matters more than people admit. If yours is right next to the bed, try it a few feet away and see if the sound fades into the background. Mine is only annoying when it’s within arm’s reach. Beyond that, it’s a small fan moving air, so some sound is baked in. The box saying quiet doesn’t mean silent, it means quiet compared to a hair dryer. Light sleeper or not, placement is the thing I’d mess with first.

Mine’s a constant low whir that I tune out within a few minutes, so it doesn’t really register for me. If you’re a light sleeper, though, that little fan is always going to be there. These things aren’t actually silent, no matter what the box says.

Mine is in a guest room and I hear the fan from the hallway if the door is open, so I get what you mean about it being noticeable. But I’ve slept in that room a couple nights with it running and it never woke me up. Light sleeper or not, that’s a normal fan sound for a heater this size.

[Jenny Flowers]

I’d move it further from the bed before deciding anything. Even a soft fan gets on my nerves when it’s right next to me, but a few feet away it blends in fine. If it still bugs you from across the room, that’s your answer.

Not quiet enough for me either, but I’m picky about hotel room noise.

[Rick Blunt]

Mine clicks when it kicks on and off. That bugs me more than the fan ever did. The whir I stopped hearing after a week.

Mine actually got quieter after a few weeks of use, which I didn’t expect. The first couple nights it was noticeable in a dead silent room, but now I barely register it unless I’m listening for it. Still, if you’re already noticing it and you’re a light sleeper, that’s probably not going to just disappear.
