Just purchased an Austin Healthmate and it is very loud. Does anybody know how this compares? How is sounds level on low/high?

I have the Blueair and it is fairly silent I would say. We have had it for 6 months or os and have yet to need to change the filter and I no longer wake up with sore throats:) Noise is a light hum and there is some whooshing that you notice at first and there is also a feeling of air moving when you walk by it. Love it though.

I bought a blueair 403 about 4-5 mounts ago, I love it, I set it up in my 3rd bedroom, I believe it cleans the whole upstairs of my house, I keep it on the 3rd setting,I'm a lite sleeper, I canot hear it, on high I can here it, it's like having white noise, I sleep right through it, on low it doesn't make a noise; again I love the product, well built all metal, no plastic, sense I've Owned it , I have never turned it off, it's a bit pricey but it's worth it

Sound level on our blue air 403 is excellent. Have it in our bedroom, don't know it's there

I have two Blueair, 605E and 403, both are super quiet. You don't realize they're on when they're on. I've recommended to friends with babies and having sleeping problems, they all liked Blueair.

It is quieter than my last treadmill (when I don't have my iPod plugged in to use the built in speakers and play my music loud). We have the treadmill in a bedroom which is near two other bedrooms and shut the door and it doesn't bother anyone. I will say we are a family that sleeps with fans running so maybe that is an added buffer to the treadmill sound. I do not think it is noisy. The only issue is a bad design where the cover is located at your feet - you step on it occassionally. We fixed this problem by adding a 1-1/4" wood dowelling that fits into the handles perfectly and hold onto the dowel instead of the built-in handle bars. I can send you a pic if interested if you give an email address. It is quieter than my last treadmill (when I don't have my iPod plugged in to use the built in speakers and play my music loud).

Hi, I have exactly the same problem with the Healtmate Plus which I received and the noise. I was told by the seller to run it for sometime. Is the smell from your machine gone by now?

I'm not familliar with the Winix unit but the Hunter that I have has been running day and night since I got it except when I clean/change filters and as long as the machine is set to medium speed I can barely hear it. It is a little noisy on high speed but that is just the wind noise. On low speed I have looked in the past to see if it is on. Now, that is quiet.

I never heard of them either. But it's a whole new world and I can't keep up:) As far as the noise - I obviously can hear it when it kicks in but I use the room a lot for phone calls and I never have a problem hearing over it nor do I find myself speaking louder. I'd say that after 30 seconds you don't even notice that it went into 'high drive'. Not a problem and I am sensitive to noise:)

I don't know the answer to your question about technology. The high frequency is 4 MH and its the highest ultra sound machine I've seen on the market at a reasonable price. The one I bought, this the one used at a plastic surgeon's office. I use mine for deep muscle pain, and to reduce wrinkles on my neck. In my opinion it has reduced my wrinkles, and has helped with deep muscle pain. This is strictly my opinion,,,,,,,,if you purchase this unit, you may or may not be satisfied. I was definitely satisfied.

In my opinion it is not too loud, of course it sounds like any electric pump but in a normal volume. I've tried medella swing and Avent and by far Spectra is the Best pump... Just in 5 to 10 minutes I get 5 ounces from one breast.

I have a heater and a humidifier in the room, low white noise and that doesn't bother me at all. I keep the volume at 1 or 2 bars and can still hear the babies just fine without much background noise. If it is a very loud white noise, I would recommend putting a white noise machine with the same volume in the 2nd room as well. Because you will hear the difference on scan (unless you keep it at the lowest volume level). There is also a quiet noise made when it scans from room to room which bothered me at first, but I have adjusted just fine.

Loud. I have to turn up the TV volume by 4-5 settings.Probably a 7 on your scale.Also the foot massager track and nodule are placed poorly.

My wife says: The machine does not make any more or less noise than any other machine she uses. It does make a peculiar noise when powered up to "rehome" the needle to exact center if it is not already there. This is normal, but there is noting in the user manual about this. In general, she thinks that it IS pretty quiet and adds that it is a very good machine. Mike

I have been using my Tassimo for over 3 months and honestly, have not noticed any abnormally loudness in its operation... I did read several reviews that referred to it being noisy, but mine is NOT. I suggest contacting Tassimo with your concerns.

Hi Shaka, the sound is audible, I usually put the unit in another room or the laundry room. After a while you get use to it... I'm just waiting for the end results of what I'm dehydrating. I should say this is an excellent machine I love it, I'm very glad I purchase it. Happy Holidays.

I contacted Austin directly about this. It's purely an aesthetic issue: If you have a lighter colored Healthmate (sandstone, white, etc.) you will need the white filter so as not to have black showing through the perforations around the unit; if your unit is a darker color, then you will need the black filter for a comparable reason. The filters themselves are 100% completely identical as far as composition and performance are concerned.

It's noticeable but not the worst I've heard. Putting it up high (be careful, drippage) might block it. We had music and the noise wasn't a problem. Can definitely talk over it.Please be aware that I personally had TERRIBLE dripping problems with mine but perhaps it was a defective item. Best of luck if you purchase!

it doesn't sound normal. honestly I didn't have a great experience with this machine. I just threw it away :(

Yes, it's very loud. It didn't work well for me and I ended up renting one from the hospital. It's a much larger and more efficient pump, and much quieter.
