It's not loud but beware before buying. It's a beautiful blender but after about 6 uses making ice fruit smoothies the motor burned-ou. Maybe be great for liquids only.

It isn't as loud as my blender... It isn't quiet but I wouldn't describe it as loud either.

How close are your neighbors? My kids say they can hear it from upstairs and all conversations and TV programs get put on pause when it is running. It isn't horrible it isn't stealthy either. If you are blending ice or frozen fruit then it is even louder than when you are just blending raw veggies. It is still totally worth it though! It is a great product.

It's not to loud. Not anywhere near as loud as kitchenaid mixers. I love it.

It is a regular blender and I make smoothies with it. I have to say that the power isn't there. I had an OLD blender (30 years old). This does not compare to it at all. I would not buy this again. I guess you get what you pay for.

I was researching this blender to make baby food as well. Did you purchase this model? If so, how is it working for you?

One of the things I noticed about my blender was the noise it made when blending. I would describe it as louder and "rougher" sounding than I expected. I notice that if my put my hand on top of the container while it was blending, it seemed a little smoother. It does seem to be doing a pretty good job and I use it every day. My first experience with this blender was at a small produce stand in California. As I recall, it was very quiet and smooth during the blending. I'm not sure what the answer is. Mary

it's loud but I wouldn't call it annoying. I guess that's just a personal thing. Doesn't bother me because I look forward to the final product it's going to give me, like my great morning smoothies. Hubby finds it a little annoying, first thing in the morning, but it does the job pretty quickly

Send it back. You shouldn't hear any parts rattling. It's not a heavy duty blender. Mine started smoking after about a minute of use blending smoothies.

It can get loud depending on what items you are blending. You wouldn't want to use it with a sleeping child in the next room, but it's not so noisy that it hurts. :-)

I have only had mine a couple of months and so far am very pleased with it. I also have the small Ninja chopper and have used it consistently for two years so I do think the blender should equal the performance of that and more.

Yes it is pretty loud. not as loud as crushing ice in a blender but far from quiet. To work properly you need about a tray of ice. It's a pretty situational appliance but it does come in very handy when unexpected guests stop by and you have no chilled ice. how well it works 8/10, how practical it is 5/10. very cool item over though.

This juicer is definitely not quiet, but not overly loud either. I am very pleased with it's performance otherwise. It's very strong and has impressed me in it's ability to make sorbets out of frozen fruit and making nut butters. I hope this helps.

I ended up returning mine. It worked well on smoothies for a week or two then it wouldn't crush up the ice in the smoothies. I hope this helps.

Not as loud as a blender, but it's not quiet. I can her it from my room if the door is closed.

It works great! Crushes ice smooth. Only draw back which won't be easily solved is the noise. I don't believe there is a quiet blender that blends ice quietly. Very quick and would recommend.

It is loud, of course. But not 'annoyingly loud' to me. The sound of my 'healthy cocktail' mixing up in the morning and/or afternoon is music to my ears. Power / Horsepower makes a powerful sound. Just like a new 600+ HP C7 Corvette Z06. That baby purrs / roars, and that's music to my ears, too. So you can't have it both ways. Power = a powerful sound. And it's not as if one is going to leave the blender on a long time. It get's the job done in a respectable time, depending on what you are 'blending / mixing / concocting.' Don't worry, the neighbors won't call the cops and complain about the noise. I think anyone would enjoy this Wave Crusher Blender, as I do. And it's a lot of bang for the buck. It is loud, of course.
