How quiet is the heating function?

The heater operates very quietly, with most users reporting minimal noise during operation. The fan system is designed for low-noise performance so it won't interfere with television watching, reading, or conversation. The flame effects produce no noise whatsoever.

What's the difference between the 900W and 1800W heat settings?
