Straight out the box this thing moves air. Previously using one of those plastic pedestal pieces of junk on the highest setting barely noticeable. This thing, lowest setting pushes good air flow. Now compared to plastic it is quite noticeable when it comes to noise but the good definitely out weighs the noise. I would recommend it to someone who would not mind the noise. To be clear, it would be better served as a shop or work fan but I am using it in my attic and as long as it keeps moving air, I dont mind the noise and btw its the blade noise, not the motor and not any vibration noise.
