I love mine, but it is anything but quiet. I have this little one in the garage and a full size shop vac in the basement but honestly there is not much difference in the loudness. It is a shop vac and they are not canister vacs for sure.

It's amazingly quiet. We had it right next to us and it was much quieter than our previous compressor which we put in another room and ran a hose.

Yeah i would say it's a tad loud. Especially if you use the vacuume. That being said, it's literally never crossed my mind before now.

Very much so. I have a Shop-Vac and a brand x. Shop-vac is much better. I would buy again.

I received the Shop Vac a while ago and am not exactly sure if I did receive instructions. I have to confess that I tend to install things and check the instructions if I have an issue. I can tell you that the Vac is installed in my garage and I have found it an excellent product. I had previously bought a Hoover but the motor died. I am happy with the Shop Vac.

It is quieter than my normal floor vacuum and quite a bit quieter than a shop vac. The cats run away of course but that's not a surprise!

Well it is noisey but I can't tell how noisey her's is. It's not as noisey as my old vacuum but it's definitely not quiet. I wouldn't recommend you buying this vacuum either way. It's not very good and is overpriced.

It is quiet . I love this. I am a women and this feels like a vacuum but picks up like a big boy shop vac. Every time I use it I compliment myself for making a smart buying decision.

I would rate it below average for compressor noise. Meaning it isn't as loud as my larger one. Great compressor!

Mine is extremely quiet, especially compared with other models I have owned.

It is a whole shop compressor so it is loud, but surprisingly quiet for this type of compressor... I have another 80 Gal in my shop that is louder!

It is sounds like an average vacuum cleaner. It is hard to create a good vacuum quietly.

Its pretty good, actually! Its not the MOST silent vacuum I've ever owned, but the power to noise ratio far surpasses previous vacuums. Usually with less noise comes a less powerful vacuum. And it has more of a low tone, so it's much less obnoxious. I definitely dont feel like Im disturbing my neighbors. Come to think of it, my roommate has told me, with his bedroom door closed, he can barely hear anything if Im vacuuming the living room.

No, I have not experienced a noisy vacuum. Vacuum on the soldering iron is basically silent. I used the vacuum parts picker in the past, and my recollection is that it was louder than the vacuum on the iron, but not by much.Make certain that you have removed the red screw from the bottom of the unit. It makes all kinds of odd (and wrong!) sounds unless that is removed.
