Is the compressor quiet?

I bought this for my mom because she does professional cakes. It does make noise, it's not quiet at all. But on the other hand it is not loud and obnoxious. And honestly, it is definitely worth buying.

Yes, it's pretty quiet. We had a group of people over while we "played" with it and no one had to raise their voices! (There were about 8 of us)

On low pretty quiet , but on high yes it is louder . It does not bother me though.

I would say that the pump is a fairly quiet, muted sound. Doesn't run for long once you first inflate, just small adjustments here and there.

It is mostly quiet. However, sometimes it gets squeaky and I just take it home and oil it. I've owned this for 6 months and have had to oil it 3-4 times.

I would rate it below average for compressor noise. Meaning it isn't as loud as my larger one. Great compressor!

Mine is a different sounding fridge, but not really louder, I believe it is mostly fan noise not compressor noise. But ... make sure that you have at least 2" of air gap in the back. It is such a big unit it is tempting to push it back as far as you can. The better air flow you have over the back the less sound you hear.

Mine is not quiet, but it's certainly not offensive. Sounds like most any pump machine.

Personally, I don't find it to be too noisy. It's considerably less noisy than my compressor. It's just like a whirring/windy sound from a couple of fans spinning. But you might check with the manufacturer for the decibel rating for a less subjective appraisal.

My unit does not make the loud noise reported. I do hear the compressor kick on and hum but I don't find it to be any louder than other refrigerators.

Actually it's pretty quiet. The pump is located in the bottom of the unit so it's not by your ear.

The owners manual does not list a noise level. About the best I could say is that it's about the same noise level as a typical shop vac. It is far and away, much quieter than my friend's DeWalt of similar capacity, and it's possible to carry on a conversation in close proximity to the compressor while it's running. Hope this helps.

very quiet. Have you tried performing the recommended lubrication per the instructions in the manual?

Yes. The unit is very quiet for the most part. Occasionally, but very seldom, it seems that it gets "off kilter" and makes a bit more noise. But a slight tap ends that noise.

Yeah...no louder, though I do hear the compressor rattling around over bumps and on rough roads..

Yes it does, I love it, however it is a low volume compressor. For me it's perfect.

We are using it in a salon atmosphere where blow dryers are going throughout the day, so I had not noticed if there was much "noise" coming from the unit. Also, we keep it in the back of the salon where it is coolest in the winter. It doesn't appear to be loud but yes, I can hear it blowing when I am close by. Being I'm not in a quiet environment I'm not sure this answer is going to be much help. Have a nice day.

Yes it is very quiet. I am up early and like to "vacuum" before I leave. My downstairs neighbors never even hear it.
