Quietest fan for room

Well, it's a dedicated room with a projector and 8ft ceilings. No room for ceiling fans. I agree they provide circulating air that makes it feel 5 degrees cooler. I am trying to achieve the same effect with a small portable fan.

Get one of the small split A/C units installed. I am an A/C tech and my wife hates A/C so I put one in my theater-sound room.

I would need your room size to recommend unit size. They can cost a few buck but are well worth it.

Agree on a ceiling fan, though none of mine are in my listening rooms. They do work exceptionally well. If possible for you to implement, that's my recommendation.

I've been around the Dyson, it seems quiet as some have mentioned. I wonder about their power, but I'll defer to others on that. The price, like most Dyson products, isn't low, but one may see value there if it suits the bill.

Last year, I purchased a Vornado at Costco for $50. It's incredibly quiet. So much so that my wife commandeered it during the heat wave last week after I suggested it when she complained about the noise of one of our typical $20 fans preventing her to sleep well. Bonus, it's made in the USA. If the other two options don't work for you, I'm sure you'll find this fan provides the solution.

I now run cold central AC, but apperently vents ARE noisy so all I can do is to CRANK IT LOUD or sweat under the heat wave and listen quiet.

Put your amps in a different room! Or get a summer pair of amplifiers. Or drink iced gin and tonics.
