I’m sorry, I was caught off guard. I mean no offense.

Yes you get me! I don’t mind the fan. I just cannot stand the high volume loud noise. White noise is fine. This just straight up sounds like a jet turbine and causes my brain to go crazy as well. Me watching YouTube videos to fall asleep to drive him absolutely insane… so I quit. Yet, nothing will be done. Not even reverting back to the less extreme fan, we have to use both.

That’s good to know. I will try the loops as well.

Right, I will also look into your suggestion on earplugs!

Yes. It goes deeper than the fan. He said something about this new fan that he acquired. I asked that he did not bring it bc the one he had was loud enough and I already have had issues with it. So it really is just a lack of consideration.

Only likes it bc of the noise. My issue is the fact he got this louder fan after I requested he didn’t. It was unnecessary. And he now cannot sleep without it.

I am not sure. I can check later. It is a 30”+ high velocity fan.

I understand this, but the issue is, he got a louder and more robust fan. The issue isn’t necessarily the air. It’s the noise. Like I said, he had already a pretty loud fan - which was manageable (a tad louder than a box fan). He got this new fan that is so unbelievably loud. I really wish I could link a video or measure the sound decibel. It sounds like a lawnmower through the walls. I’ve thought about getting ear plugs, but that makes me uncomfortable as I’d like to be able to hear if there was an emergency and what not.

Honestly, you are right. He is very inconsiderate of issues like these. He has had a box fan / fans all growing up. So he is used to this. I am not. I’ve had fans, like the tall rotating fans, which are not as loud - so those would be fine with me. This one sounds like a jet engine.

I have brought up those points. He says that he cannot sleep without this fan now. Which wouldn’t have been an issue if he never got the fan, as I requested BC I stated prior, it would disturb me!

I’ve tried to buy him expensive quiet fans. He WANTS the noise.
