I have an 8", portable, rechargeable oscillating fan with remote control on my dresser. It has four speeds so depending upon how warm it is I can adjust the air flow. Actually, I have two of these fans and I took on to Las Vegas this week. I don't care much for air conditioning and it was set to 74 degrees in the room so the fan helped keep me cool. The fan, at low speed makes little noise and even at a higher speed it's more like white noise.
