How loud is the motor? I want to use this for a solo at my choir show next month so I don't want it noticably loud.

It isn't loud at all. There is a slight hum, but not one you really notice. If you ever heard a small fan, the ones you push the button and they blow in your face, it's kind of like that.

Hi, it is a little laud. But, when I set up the bubble machine in my daughter's birthday party, we have music at the back ground. I could not hear any noise from the bubble machine. But also, we could not see any bubble as well! I was visualizing the room full with bubbles but this machine produced the very little amount; almost nothing.

I just used mine again this evening during an outdoor art reception. While it makes some sound, it did not interfere at all with any conversations and I don't know that anyone even noticed the sound. They just enjoyed the bubbles.

I haven't noticed the motor being loud at all. We use it in our church nursery, but we have been very happy with it.

It is quite loud, I regularly use this amp to jam with a drummer in a small echoey location, and it holds its own in clean and distorted settings. As far as a live performance goes, this amp can handle most small/medium sized shows.

In my opinion, it's not noisy. I think it's more quiet than a window AC. I really like the hum of the motor, and it doesn't bother me at all.

It is not loud at all. I use mine in the basement while my family is asleep. I use it to cut brass and it is about as loud as a box fan on high power. You should be fine.

No, the fan isn't loud. The motor is loud, and annoying as hell. I found an awesome loud can with a quiet motor and it's perfect. Loud whoosh without the annoying, loud whine is what you're looking for.

It's quite loud. If you are looking for a quiet model this may not be for you.

It depends on the gig; I've used it live for small clubs (less than 30 people, smallish room) and it works great. It gets surprisingly loud! For a bigger show you would probably be mic'd anyway, at least in my area so it would be fine for that as well. These days, if you show up with a larger amp you probably won't be able to turn it up enough to work the amp at all and it won't sound good anyway.

I bought the fan because I need the sound to sleep. At the speed of 1, the sound is normal. At 3 it is louder but not insanely loud. To get to the motor you would have to go through the front of the fan.... I am no mechanical person, but I think it would be more work than it is worth!!

It's as loud as any other portable. It's louder when the condenser is on vs just the fan. You'll get used to it though.

I've owned two of them and they have always made at least some sound. I don't know if I'd describe it as "loud" though. One of my cats was scared of the noise so I bought a cheap timer which allows me to set times during the day where the power gets turned on (the same thing people use for Christmas lights). I only turn it "on" for 2 hours twice a day and it works fine. I'd suggest doing that. No need to run the motor 24 hours a day since you don't need to.

I don't find it excessively loud. It's a gas powered motor after all . I just know it works great and have had no problems with it .

The motor on mine definitely drowned out the water but I wouldn't say it was obnoxiously loud either. I got used to it and the dogs/cats loved it so it was worth it from that standpoint.

While it is not whisper quiet, it is powerful due to the motor which does make noise. I would recommend going to youtube and looking this product up as their are product videos on there so that will at least give you a better idea of how noisy it is.Thank you !Magic Mikes Premium Pleasure

It's relatively quiet for a fan. Anytime you have fan blades moving air, you have a hum, of course, just from the friction with the air, but there is little to no motor sound. I find it quite steady and quiet.

I would not call it quiet, but its not intolerable. I do not know about the motor.

It is not a silent focus motor. It makes a moderate degree of noise. Unless you're in an very quiet space, it probably won't stand out that much.

So I've owned it for almost a year, I think it's more than loud enough but I also bought it mainly for its durability. Depending on what kind of work you do, it should be fine. But I will say if you're using power tools or something loud along those lines, it will not but loud enough to overpower the noise from those. Like when my gf vacuums it can no longer be heard.
