Is it noisy? The last one I bought and noisy and my little timid cat would not use it. :(

The water was a bit "loud" as it came out of spout. Give the cat time if you just bought it, my boy took somw time getting used to it and he is scared of his own shadow, also mine eventually stopped working because its impossible to clean the hoses that connect to LED , if you unhook them to clean w/ q-tip it wont work like it did when was new, After 2 emails to manufacturer that got no respone I mailed it back to them and told them to try again, then I got the pioneer pet raindrop fountain which is very quiet compared tothe Uv fountain,

It was super quiet at first which I really liked. After a few months it got noiser unless you positioned it just right or put something heavy on top.

It can be when the water level gets low. I keep it pretty full and the sound is deadened, more like running water into the sink, which is exactly what it is!

It isn't noisy, but it does have a low hum to it. I absolutely cannot recommend purchasing this product. If kept plugged in for any extended length of time (longer than a few hours), the sterile light or the pump heats up the water. Since my cat doesn't care for water that's the same temperature as warm tea, he never uses it.

The trimmer made a slight humming noise, I used it on my cat and it worked amazingly well! She wasn't bothered by the noise at all which was previously a problem with other trimmers.

Hello, we (GrepRobbert Pet Supplies) have not had noise complaints with this item. It also is a popular product for us. Thank you for your inquiry.

Mine is noisy too, a high pitch whirring sound. I wondered if mine was broken as well but it has great suction so I think it's suppose to sound like that :)

It makes little or no noticeable noise when my cat goes through. I have it placed in an inside door that leads to basement where his cat litter is.

It is not silent, but not that noisy. My suspicious cat and I both adjusted to the motor and aren't bothered by it any more.

It's quiet. My cats love this toy. It's only real downfall is when they hold on to the caught toy for too long (which doesn't seem very long), it shuts off. I'm assuming that's to keep the motor from burning out.

They all buzz to some extent, this one is quiet by comparison. Just make sure it is sitting on its rubber feet and not touching anything such as up against a wall. If it still seems too noisy return it for another one.

My cat hears it from 2 rooms away and he takes off running. I usually don't hear it over the tv. The noise level is about the same as the food hitting the bowl.

I know they have videos out of it so I think it depends. My cat doesn't. She watches it but she doesn't like getting within two feet of it. She's afraid of the vacuum as well so I think it's the noise.

All my plugins are down low. I have one in the dining room / living room. I do have another plugin but that one seems to serve the purpose. I feel it really helps keep the cats calm, wouldn't be without it.

It's not quiet. I used a sound level meter to compare it to a couple other units and it's literally 10-20 times louder. The sound it makes is also particularly annoying.

I can not answered correctly, because I bought it for my doughter. But she never complaned about noisy.she told it works perfectly.

I've got two cats, the first time or two they were a tad cautious around it. After that they pretty much ignored it, I think its the higher frequency noise that standard vacuum makes that tend to freak cats out, the lower frequency of the neato doesn't seem to bother them. I noticed my larger cat stalking the neato earlier while it was cleaning, didn't stick around to watch, but, there were no indignent howls or screeches and the neato finished the room w/o mishap.

I think the noise is initially off putting. My cats walked away but I did not offer an alternative. The next day one by one each found their favorite spot on the fountain to drink. I can't say I notice them drinking more than before as yet. I do keep it full which slightly cuts down on noise. Hope this helps.

Not quite a mouse, but pretty quiet. I have an older cat that can be violent when it comes to grooming and he actually got used to it pretty quickly even rubbing his face on it (I do 5-10 minute sessions). I ordered a $60 one at the same time as this one and this one is a good amount quieter than it and my cat still prefers it over the spendier one.

Yes, I send it back. I have very nice and relaxed Main Coon cats. I turned the dryer on and the high pitch noise terrified them. They are not afraid of noises, vacuums etc, this was too much. Dryer was described as 'low noise level' - this was not true....
