atlhart,

The Dyson Pure Cool Air Purifier and Tower Fan is extremely quiet and will push a lot of air.

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

tq5,

YEP this guy gets it. Large diameter & low velocity. Vornado is nice.

tetris11,

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?

speck,

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

Vornado makes powerful fans. I think they're pretty quiet on low and medium, less so on high, but YMMV depending on your noise tolerance. I haven't tried Dyson but they are outrageously expensive (and I think I've seen a video on them not moving much air, I'll come back with the link if I can find it).

Edit: video

How about a 20" box fan on low? Too loud? Put together several computer case fans, they're made to be quiet.

Either of these fans can also be used to make a Corsi-Rosenthal box to filter air. So you could do both...assuming it's not too loud...
