Is this really noiseless as advertised? I have a FP full size swing now and at start the motor makes a pretty jarring noise that actually makes my baby cry

It is noiseless. The only way that I know it's on is by waiting to see if it starts swinging. I'm very satisfied with this swing so far and did quite a bit of research prior to purchasing. :)

It doesn't make any noise at all. And my daughter loves the music, which can turn off when she's doing other activities in the swing with her other toys.

No sound, just intermittent motion. As I also discovered, make sure it's clear of any weeds or the furry end can get tangled up and stop moving. it's not a powerful motor inside, doesn't really need to be, to save on battery life.

It does! But only at the first a few seconds when you try to star it. I consider it as how the swing works. At first I was worried that it might wake baby up, but it turns out that he doesn't really care. So it works perfect to us.if you use it at night, it does make some noise, but it matters more to adults who can only sleep in a very quite environment than baby. Since my baby likes kitchen fans noise, the swing noise really doesnt matter.wish my explanation will be use for you. Good luck.

I would say it's definitely not quiet. And for me, has gotten louder after a season of use (I now have vibration noises).

I found it quite noisy but I'm not sure if that is indicative of the product itself or just an issue with the swing I purchased. I ended up returning the swing b/c for some reason it would slow down and stop rocking and then speed back up and during that transition it was so loud it woke up my newborn.

It ofcourse makes noise, but less than a lawn mower. You run it outside and I can hear it in the house, but it doesn't bother us.

It is quiet but it is not without any noise. There may be a clicking sound if you push it too hard when it begins swinging but it quiets quickly. There is a soft clicking sound when it swings but it isn't annoying and my child has no problem with it. You can always turn on the sounds. It is a very good swing and I would absolutely buy it again.

It's def louder than a portable generator. If you start it up and don't hear it, you better go check on it. Having said that tho, I don't mean to say that it is distractingly noisy, just that you're going to hear it running.

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 .

Not normal! No motor noise, maybe just a hum. Unless the motor is not stationed firmly and is maybe vibrating, I would return. Mine is so quiet, I sometimes forget it is there until I here running water!

I would also suspect defective. I can't remember anything about the setup that I would suspect could lead to squeaking. If anything, I think improper set up would lead to an unbalanced swing or poor range of motion but not squeaking. Have you tried to turn the motor on without the other parts attached? If it still makes the sound that would help confirm a defective motor.

It is not a quiet generator - when running it we have it located outside of the garage. It is the normal sound of a generator. With that being said, we are extremely happy with it and have had to use it a few times already since we purchased it. It's easy to use and does the job!

If it makes a clacking noise, its because the plastic posts that hold the motor down have cracked. Mine failed and I tore it apart to find out why. Its poorly engineered and won't last more than a year or so through normal daily use. I took a hot glue gun and fixed mine but its poor engineering and design on the manufacturer's part.

I don't find it quiet at all but I've never had a generator before this one so I couldn't tell you if it's worse or better than others. I can tell you the noise from it is just like a lawnmower. It sounds like you've left the lawnmower running just outside the house. It's loud when I'm outside and right next to it but from inside the house with doors and windows closed it's not intrusive at all.

The deck and motor are very quiet, but there is an audible beep when you interact with the console, or if it shuts itself down due to a timeout (if you get off, etc.). I haven't investigated to see if there's a way to adjust the beep volume or silence it.

A very quiet motor noise. our bedroom is directly next to the baby room and cannot hear it. I think it helps the baby sleep more than disturb. My twins love the swing and fall asleep pretty quickly. A MUST have for any mom of multiples.

The motor is not quiet by any means. It's not too bad when idling but when you run the dough through to compress it, it is the loudest sound in the world. My neighbor runs a gear mfg company and said the motor would be quieter if larger.
