Abstract: Operator-valued multivariable Bohr type inequalities are obtained for:

(i)
a class of noncommutative holomorphic functions on the open unit ball of $ B(\mathcal{H})^n$, generalizing the analytic functions on the open unit disc;
(ii)
the noncommutative disc algebra $ \mathcal{A}_n$ and the noncommutative analytic Toeplitz algebra $ F_n^\infty$;
(iii)
a class of noncommutative selfadjoint harmonic functions on the open unit ball of $ B(\mathcal{H})^n$, generalizing the real-valued harmonic functions on the open unit disc;
(iv)
the Cuntz-Toeplitz algebra $ C^*(S_1,\ldots, S_n)$, the reduced (resp. full) group $ C^*$-algebra $ C_{red}^*(\mathbb{F}_n)$ (resp.  $ C^*(\mathbb{F}_n)$) of the free group with $ n$ generators;
(v)
a class of analytic functions on the open unit ball of $ \mathbb{C}^n$.

The classical Bohr inequality is shown to be a consequence of Fejér's inequality for the coefficients of positive trigonometric polynomials and Haager- up-de la Harpe inequality for nilpotent operators. Moreover, we provide an inequality which, for analytic polynomials on the open unit disc, is sharper than Bohr's inequality.
