I've had one on my nightstand for a couple of summers, and for a tiny bedroom it's honestly a mixed bag. On low it's quiet enough that I forget it's there, but the mist makes the air feel damp after a while, and on muggy nights that clammy feeling is what wakes me up more than the noise. If your bedroom already gets humid, I'd use it as a desk fan during the day and skip the water at night; if it's dry where you are, the ice gives a nice cool burst for the first hour or so and then it's just a fan again.
