It's only an issue if you want the autostart feature. Otherwise plug the tool into a separate outlet. You will have the same problem with other vacuums that offer the autostart feature. It's amazing to me a sound level of only 59 dBA is produced from a vacuum drawing as much amps as the Makita.

My nuwawve makes a little noise as the motor spins up, but it is not that loud unless you want sleep next to it while cooking :) a microwave oven is much louder the only con for me is lack of induction cookware or cheaper ware at many stores

I wouldn't call it loud but it is not quiet. It's not a big deal, it only makes noise when you use it. We check and adjust our bed maybe once a month or so. It maintains it's pressure quite well. Adjusting the pressure takes seconds.

At low or medium, its like a babbling brook... On High, it kicks up quite a bit, but doesn't bother me. I run it on high all day, and turn it to medium for sleeping. As NFB replied, its like white noise, no tonal pitches, just a smooth fan sound.

Is the area you're using it in large enough that you could move it to another room, or behind furniture? I don't notice the high-pitch noise so much but the growling motor is pretty loud to me, and so I use it in a central g room where it's not such a nuisance. The low setting volume is better but then it takes longer to dry the room(s). I hope you find a satisfactory solution!

I did not find it to be loud at all, but I was always using it at home on a soft surface. I can see how it would sound much louder if placed on a hard surface like a desk.

This isn't a very silent rifle. I know it is quieter than other air rifles, but when a pellet is going that fast your gonna hear a good CRACK. When I shoot mine its pretty loud too. Heavier pellets seem more quiet, but I promise nothing. It is just a powerful therefore loud rifle. Regards.

Sound level is comparable to a hand drill (at work, not free-spinning). Most of the noise is caused by the ice, not the motor. It's fast enough that the noise is short-lived.

Yes, but that feature on a cordless drill is mostly a marketing ploy.Hammer is the highest torque setting.Even on the Milwaukee 28V drill, which is in every way a superior tool,the hammer drill setting generates more noise than impact.Its effect is not much different from exceding the torque setting.

It does have a really touchy trigger but can start out pretty slow. It starts a lot slower than my similar Dewalt. You just have to be careful because there is a fine line between being just right & making a mess... (btw I've had this drill over 2 years now & use it hard everyday. Not 1 problem. )Good luck

I am sensitive to noise and I must say, I have never thought it was "to" loud. I have thick hair so to be honest I do not know how it does on fine hair. But I love my hot tools brush!!!! LOVE IT!!!!

No to me it is not loud and it does not hurt me. I did however had to ship it back due to they believe the battery was not working. They shipped it back got it a few weeks ago and working fine right now.

the power level is adjusted by the power trigger. It is an excellent drill - I liked it so much I bought two of them and I useit almost daily. I can send you my extra manual if you like.

I have not noticed a loud motor. However, my son only turns it on every so often.

No. Unit is not a loud as some would suggest. If it is, it is damaged from shipping. I had a strap broken, which should have been a clue of being dropped. Needless to say it was dented and made a bit of noise. I took it apart and found the compressor mount was bumped against the frame. I corrected the problem. So far unit is doing what I wanted it to do.

When you use a drill you have to fight it as it wants to twist. When it hits a lot of sudden resistance it can feel like it is going to twist your arm off. You can use the torque setting, but that just stops the drill from doing anything. With a impact driver, when it hits resistance it starts hammering it. The big difference is you won't feel it trying to twist out of your hand. So it is much easier to drive into heavy resistance materials. Want to drive a two inch screw into wood without predrilling, no problem. Try that with a drill and you have a fight on your hands. The down side is there is no torque limit, so it is easy to over drive things. Almost too much power. The other down side is the noise. Before it hits resistance it sounds like a normal drill, but once it does hit resistance it starts hammering. Actually the hammers are small and internal, but noisy. Sounds like a construction crew. One other note, the drill has chuck that fits various bits. The impact driver has just a 1/4 inch chuck only. Pull the outer part to put a bit in or take one out. To drill with it, you need special drill bits with the 1/4 inch hex ends. I use the impact driver more then the drill. It has the power, I just need to be careful to stop before I strip or over drive a screw.
