Quiet and strong fan (lemmy.world)

Looking for recommendations for a fan that is powerful but quiet. My couch sits in an alcove so I need to direct the cold air from the ac to me, but I am hyper sensitive to noise.

You’re welcome. Hope you find one that works for you. The wife nano use one of those lasky wind machines in our place, $45 at Walmart, moves a ton of air, but I fear it might be too loud for what you’re looking for.

If you want to move air quietly you need to move a large volume slowly.

I've been looking for a fan that literally mechanically raises and lowers a large leaf-like thing (think Anthony&Cleo) in a pleasant wafting fashion. How does no such device exist?

I've seen that done. But only in commercial contexts, like restaurants, or in Thailand and India
