how loud is this grinder (new baby)?
1987965
The grinder runs at a lower speed than normal grinders, but it still makes noise when it runs. Additionally, the abrasive pads make there own noise when working the concrete. That said, the noise isn't high pitched and is more of a constant drone. If the new baby is in a different room, it may act as a white noise and help the baby sleep.

This grinder is not nearly as loud as a new baby. If you can stand the volume of a new baby, this grinder shouldn't give you any trouble. The one thing I'd suggest though before you go out and get a new baby is to check and see if the new baby will be able to grind concrete as well as this grinder, because it's a pretty good grinder, and I don't know of many new babies that I'd feel comfortable recommending over it for grinding masonry. If you've ever used a regular angle grinder to cut stone or metal, as I recall this grinder is a little quieter than that by itself, but if you're going to be using a shop-vac with it to keep the water spray manageable, it's not a quiet process.

At low speed quiet enough that I can remove at 6:00AM the slurry coat I've applied the day before. Not much power at low speed though. At high speed it is quite powerful but very noisy.

I've used Zassenhaus peppermills and other of their grinders for >20 years. I've never noticed any unusual noises or high decibels. I have had a couple of failures, one that was replaced for no cost (within 10 years, through Penzey's Spices who don't sell them anymore). I like them because I prefer crank mills that don't aggravate carpel tunnel. I recently replaced a baby peppermill for traveling.

I have the larger model. I have cooked White and GABA brown on this. It is not very loud. There is a low hum while it is cooking/prepping from the internal fan, which sounds like my laptop when it isn't working very hard.If yours sounds like a grinding noise I would suspect that either something is in your fan causing it to grind, or you otherwise have a faulty fan. I don't think there are other components in there which are capable of making loud noises. Unless there is some process of induction cooking for which I am unaware that might cause this.

It is loud, of course. But not 'annoyingly loud' to me. The sound of my 'healthy cocktail' mixing up in the morning and/or afternoon is music to my ears. Power / Horsepower makes a powerful sound. Just like a new 600+ HP C7 Corvette Z06. That baby purrs / roars, and that's music to my ears, too. So you can't have it both ways. Power = a powerful sound. And it's not as if one is going to leave the blender on a long time. It get's the job done in a respectable time, depending on what you are 'blending / mixing / concocting.' Don't worry, the neighbors won't call the cops and complain about the noise. I think anyone would enjoy this Wave Crusher Blender, as I do. And it's a lot of bang for the buck. It is loud, of course.

yes - it is loud and it does vibrate. But in my experience, this is generally the case with all high pressure espresso machines.

Sorry, seems like you got the lemon in otherwise great appliance. I have use it everyday and have not experienced this kind of problem. I set the timer at night and wake up to the aroma of coffee wafting through my apartment. The only noise it makes is the burr of the grinder. I suggest you return your unit as defective and request an exchange. Companies are usually very good about this since they don't want to lose customers due to bad publicity.

Yes, it is loud. I was warned by one the reviews before buying it, but bought it anyway. I am happy with the machine overall, but the noise has got the biggest downside.

Mine isn't that loud, besides it brews the coffee so fast i don't even notice it! I mean that's like asking Why is the microwave so loud..

Ours has been noisy from Day 1, approx 6 months ago. Even half as noisy would be welcomed, but it works perfectly and makes excellent lattes & espresso, so we tolerate it. I believe the loud noise is part of its design, not a symptom of something wrong. Hope this was helpful. Happy holidays!

Not loud at all. This is part of the reason I bought it as well. Probably quieter than a typical coffee pot.

pretty loud. It is crushing ice so that has to be taken into account. I'd say normal conversation can't be heard over it if you are running it in the kitchen around an island or something.

I don't remember it being loud, just a little motorized noise. You should return it and have it replaced if it's loud! Good luck!:)

Mine is about as loud as the beep from our microwave oven. The description on the Amazon page sez 90 to 105 DB,maybe you could google that for a reference.

Ring is fairly loud. It is a metal striker against a metal cup. Of course, I have the stainless timer so the metal cup is mounted in a metal frame and that undoubtedly makes it a little louder. Good luck.

It's quite loud. If you are looking for a quiet model this may not be for you.

Not loud at all. My son loves its. He has a lot of nerf guns and enjoy everyone of them.
