the noise is high and the spinning motion is very high and fast. I would recomend this grinder. I have owned a number of die grinders some expensive and not worth the money. This grinder is a good grinder for the price.

ABOUT MEDIUM... used it for a couple hours without hearing protection and I was fine afterwards.

Rather than answer the question, I should tell you not to buy the unit. There is a rattle on med speed. Low is fantastically quiet, high is loud, but very powerful. Med has a strange noise. I saw it in a review by someone else on the internet. Would not buy again.

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

@ +12db you will hear some noise, but for live work it's acceptable> I would not use it for studio post production mix downs. Hope this was helpful.

Not really very noisy, the noise level is the same as any other piston type compressor.

The low speed is pretty quiet, which is where I usually set mine. After I turned it on, I hardly noticed it at all. The high speed was louder, but I seldom set mine on high. The medium speed are just about that - medium to medium loud.

I wouldn't say that it is super noisy, but the noise is very much like a real chain saw, just taken down a few notches. I prefer that my son plays with it outside where he can pretend to cut down trees!

It's not listed in the owner's manual, you should call the manufacturer. Click on the owners manual in the following link. I'm satisfied with the noise level on the MAC700 in comparison to other portable compressors. This is my fourth compressor and I wouldn't trade it for anything else. http://www.makita.com/en-us/Modules/Tools/ToolDetails.aspx?Name=MAC700

It depends on people using it. It is quite enough for me. You can lower the noise by setting the heat under "Hi"

I don't notice a marked difference in noise at all compared with other versions I've used. Normally the tool you're using in the Dremel make more noise than the Dremel itself, i.e. when grinding, cutting, sawing, etc. This Dremel is a very well designed and engineered machine. Extremely handy, versatile and at times irreplaceable for certain tasks.

When it's on the lowest setting it makes a low motor sound. On medium and high it is definitely louder. High is almost too noisy for me.

Yes, it is a little noisy but not unbearable. I have shredded for 45 minutes without being annoyed by the sound. It is micro and it is moderately fast.

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.

On low pretty quiet , but on high yes it is louder . It does not bother me though.

I don't have much to compare it against, but I'd say its slightly loud, but not too bad. If it is completely silent, it's very noticeable, but otherwise, its not too bad.

It is an acceptable noise level to me. As to weather it will seem "horribly noisy" to you - I have no idea what you mean.

I'd say normal to low in both noise & pitch. My stylist reccomend this to me years ago, just bought a 2nd for work travel. A really good dryer!
