Yes. Like a blow dryer.

I have heard they hum pretty loud. You can make them more silent by building a box around them and making the air flow a certain direction.

If you’re just getting started, check out my guide featuring the Antminer S9. I still think it’s the best bang for your buck.

The model with upgraded fans for $103 + shipping is pretty silent (less than 50dB).

Yeah, I don't want to deal with any of that (at least not for my first attempt).

I wonder about the heatbit. Which mining pool does it use?

Good question. I didn't see that and I didn't see if it's easy to change the pool.

That is what I am thinking. If it goes into one of the major pools, what is the point? Being able to change it would be nice.

I wouldn't mind if it started that way, since I don't know what I'm doing yet. I also wouldn't mind if it started out as a solo miner. If it can't be changed from the default, though, that would be annoying.

Might be something to email them about. I like how it is set up though, it wont bother anyone in the house. Everyone will just think it is just a heater. The small bitaxe might be worth it just for stepping your toes in that water.
