How loud is it? Can you run it without waking the family up?

It's not as loud as something like a vitamix, but it's not quiet either. You could probably put a towel over the grinder and muffle the sound.

If it was on low during the night it might not be that bad. I have mine on auto so it's usually running at a higher speed, it's not bad in the family room but in the bedroom it would be too noisy for me

Its loud enough for me to sleep... but I'm not sure I'd label it as 'Very Loud'. We can watch tv with it on and only have to turn in up a couple more notches if that tells you anything.

It's loud but not obnoxious, we use it in the bedroom and it does not effect the rest of the house.

It is not any louder than a drill or scroll saw. I don't think it would wake a person in another room.

No it is not loud. You can here it running but acceptable. I have it installed in my basement bar and love it. I only turn it on when I am having company. This unit will require a floor drain or condensate pump. Very happy with the unit. Hope this helps.

Not noisy at all. I use mine at 5am while my husband and two children sleep. Very quiet.

It is not silent and it is not noisy. You can easily hold a conversation while standing next to it. It is quieter than window air conditioners I've been around. If it is running next to the head of the bed while you are trying to sleep, there is no doubt you will know it is there. Will it annoy you? My wife is phonophobic and on low speed it didn't bother her: she described it as a white noise she could overlook.

You can hear it, but it's not too loud. Nobody should be yelling with it on. We have normal conversations in the kitchen with it running.

It is not loud at all. About the same volume as a regular room heater or fan.

It's loud - certainly louder than the Honda, but it's a large generator. I can't give you a db level. We run it in front of the garage and it doesn't bother us inside - we slept fine. Our neighbors all live a 1/4 mile away so I don't think they notice it

Nope. It is on the loud side in my oppinion. We can't use it before bedtime as a result.

it shouldnt be very loud. my mother in law got it to help keep her place cool and she says it worked great. she would have said if had been noisy. the only downside is it burnt out fast from leaving it on all night.

I can't hear it running in the house with the windows closed. I have no problem carrying on a conversation, without screaming, standing right next to it when it is running . It is quieter than my lawn mower, pressure washer and snow blower. It's quieter then I expected it to be.

this is the only unit i have ever had so it is hard for me to say. it is not loud, but you can tell it is on. the higher the setting the louder it is, but it is not annoyingly loud. sorry i could not be more helpful!

Ours is not even in the house; it is about 1000 feet downhill; however, when it kicks on, it is fairly quiet. I think if it were in our basement or somewhere in our house, it would be difficult to hear. I certainly would not call it noisy....my old one was, however. This one is nearly silent in comparison.

It's not whisper quiet. I have it in my living room and am able to hear it in my bedroom with the door open (not a huge house). We run it off and on throughout the day and continuously through the night. It doesn't make an annoying noise but it would say it is as loud as a box fan.
