I searched for quiet fans, and could never find any reputed to be quieter than Dyson. I'd love a recommendation, if possible.

  What part of the world would you be buying from? (I don't do Amazon). Yes, I found exactly that. There is a company called QuietMark, I've bought fans from there and sent them back for being above average noisy, they're not interested in outside contact. I recommend to buy and try for your own situation. Measurements of loudness are not the full story as the tone of the noise will interact in ways that can be unpredictably pleasant or harsh. The Dyson fan issue is the audible motor whine at lower fan speeds (and with oscillation on, it creaks as it turns). "If you need a quiet portable fan/filter find one that and has more than 7-8 speeds, preferably in double figures - and put it close to where you want the air, on low." Ignore the price, cheaper may be better, but having many speeds suggests some sophistication and the option for lower speed means lower noise.
