How noisy are these? I need to trim down my cat's fur due to mats but a noisy clipper will just make him run

There's a definite hum to it. Frightens one of my dogs when we start be he settles down quickly.

I bought this product for grooming my toy poodle, I ended up never used it because it was very very noisy. I am convinced that I need to buy something over $100 plus in order to get a clipper which is not noisy. B Shear

The clippers itself is fairly quiet. We just turned it on for a bit while we were standing there trimming them up with the scissors (getting mats out), then we'd bring it a little closer, etc... they were fine. They didn't like it by their ears so much, but that's what's nice about the harness to hold them in. Hope that helps!

I have been extremely happy with these clippers. I keep them very clean and oiled. They are quiet and effective. I have persian cats and so I have to work in short spurts, before they get irritated with me. These are very good clippers and I do not regret for one moment spending the money on them. They do heat up after a few minutes but there is a cooling spray that helps or change out the blade and trade off.

They make much less noise than our previous clippers. Our two dogs don't mind this noise and are very patient while being trimmed.

the Oster is quieter than a previous brand that I purchased. with the 2 speeds you can alter the amount of noise. The clippers work on my Shi Tzu on both her course hair and fine stomach hair. I would assume it would work on your cat.

The only other experience that I've had is with Wahl clippers. The Andis clippers were about the same as far as noise level. I didn't feel that they were LOUDER! Of course they are not the top notch clippers that you pay, a very good price, for and get the "quite" level. I've really enjoyed the Andis clippers and I found them to work very well for the price that I invested into them. I hope this helps!

Yes, this clipper is very quiet. It slides in a smooth motion like a pair of scissors. There is no "clipping" sound.

This is my first clipper so I thought they were all this loud. It doesn't bother me a bit as I just use it at home. Mine arrived without any scratches. Maybe exchange yours?

I have an older Maine Coon cat who was becoming somewhat matted in places. This clipper is strong enough to cut out the mats and to give him a nice "buzz cut" (as my hubby calls it). It runs quiet enough that it doesn't scare him either. I've tried many different one that didn't work anywhere near as good as these. I would highly recommend this clipper.

These clippers are a good product. Motor is not silent though neither is it that loud. For the cat's sake perhaps you should brush/comb her daily, thus there would be no need to shave her.

I bought a pair of these clippers and they are not terribly loud at all they do not seem to bother my dog when I use them on him.

The blades are fairly wide. I use mine to body clip my horse, but i've also shaved my friends cat(a Maine Coon with hair mats), so I'd say yes, they're fantastic clippers, i've never had a problem with them, just keep them clean and oiled. If you're wanting to do detail work, they're fairly wide, but they cut clean and even. they run quietly too, and don't get overheated too fast.

Not much noise or vibration compared to other clippers. It does have a narrow blade so be careful not to muscle your way thru the matts. Let the tool do the work.

Yes, I send it back. I have very nice and relaxed Main Coon cats. I turned the dryer on and the high pitch noise terrified them. They are not afraid of noises, vacuums etc, this was too much. Dryer was described as 'low noise level' - this was not true....

This worked on our Persian cat. Very long, long thick hair. Huge hair. Blows people's minds when they seem him. The horse clippers we used couldn't cut through the hair. These do. But, if you have a lot of cutting to do (as we did; he's a barn cat and every summer we have to shave him to get rid of the tangles) you will want to do it in a couple of sessions. All clippers get hot with use. These are simply better than most. They worked for Fluffy.

The clipper is about as loud as a people hair clipper which to me doesn't sound excessive. The sound doesn't seem to bother the cats more than the irritation of getting a hair cut. The Andis is heavier than a people hair clipper but that is due to a motor strong enough to cut through animal hair and cat hair mats.

Not that loud when in use. Vibrate is very rough but not too crazy. They are a little heavier than a normal clipper
