This is not a silent printer. It is not excessively noisy, and would not disturb a neighbor in an adjoining apartment, but it would probably wake someone sleeping in the same room.

C. Willems - It's not whisper quiet, I don't think any are. But unless you are a light sleeper or the printer is in the same room as you sleep, I don't think you would hear it. As printers go, it's not bad at all as far as noise goes. Mine is in the alcove with big doorway to the living room where our tv is located & I do not have to turn up the tv to hear it when printing. Hope this helps you...

I do not think the printer is excessively noisy,quieter than my last printer, but that does not tell you a whole lot. Noisy,no.

Never experienced any noise. My machine works very quietly. I have to check the blue light to make sure it is working.

30-45 seconds - and it does NOT automatically "wake up" from sleep mode. You have to manually press the "power save" button. This is especially inconvenient for networked computers that aren't in the same room as the printer.

To save on ink, I leave the printer on all the time so have not had a problem powering up. It does, however, go into sleep mode because of it being an energy saver and so I push the power button and it returns to ready to print.

I turn mine off and only use it when I need to print. I don't print alot of pictures, probably about 2-3 max when I do use it. So far the only problem I have had is that it dropped off my internet. I was able to get it back on quickly.

No noise with mine other than paper feeding through it. Mine doesn't get hot at all! Only problem I have is getting pages to feed straight.

Mine does not make any sounds when depressing the key or totaling the sale. The only noise mine makes is the noise the printer makes when it's printing the receipt/journal although it does beep if an error is made.

The printer is very fast, but not quiet. When the printer begins to print, there is a fairly loud buzz indicating printing has begun. That said, I am very happy with this printer's performance and would highly recommend it.

This printer is actually pretty quiet, especially compared to some of the older models. I don't know what you consider loud, though! There is certainly some noise, but I find it very acceptable. Plus, it's so quick that the noise is only for a short period of time anyway.

I need absolute quiet when I fall asleep. That being said, it is noisy for me; however, I learned if I turn it on prior to bed time, it won't make as much noise. I turn it on 30 mins before bedtime to get the machine warmed up.

It's pretty loud when it's printing but once it goes back into standby mine's pretty quiet. Sometimes startles me when it starts to print though - it's pretty loud then!

it does a lot of clicking--it does make a clicking sound after it prints--mine is not very loud

When my printer takes a nap and goes into the energy saving mode, I just print whatever I am printing and it wakes up and starts printing. If you want to scan or fax, just tap on the glass of the LCD screen and it will come alive.

My printer sits right behind me and it's certainly not silent but it's not overly noisy, either. It makes the most noise when it starts up.

It's not very quiet, but it's not as loud as my window unit. My son uses this New Air portable unit in his room and he said it doesn't really bother him while he's sleeping.

You need to do that in the printer controls in your computer. Or you can always just turn the printer off, but it will continue when you turn it on again.

Mine is quiet until it is under load. I use it as an alarm clock to wake the kids for school. Can't use it on weekends until after 9am.
