Drying outside in Autumn

Does anyone leave a dehumidifier on at night and can hear it? Live in a flat, so wondering if it’s constant fan like a bathroom extractor fan noise?

Mine is in another room and I shut the door so I don't hear it. If you do, it's a constant noise - but if it bothers you, use it in the day!

Also in another room overnight, it makes a low noise but not loud enough to travel to us in the other room.

low setting is fine on my meaco. high setting too loud (even my neighbour complain!)

I live in Orkney where we often have day after day where it's too windy, too damp, or too both, to hang washing outside. Our heating is needing replaced, and only some of it works, so that doesn't really dry clothes much either. As a result we use the dehumidifier a fair bit (ours also has the clothes drying option, even though that wasn't why we initially purchesed it), positioned just behind the wettest/heaviest things on the airer. Once they are semi-dry they are often finished off in the airing cupboard (not very big but we can fit a few things in there on hangers). Of course I put things outside if I get a chance, but those have not been very often recently!

Yesterday I was able to get my washing almost dry outside. I then hung it from ceiling rails to finish off in a cool house of 14 degrees.
