Quiet is a relative term but it seems pretty quiet to me and I know my wife is very happy with it.

quiet enough, but it is a FAN, if you can not expect total silence. The motor needs to turn:)

I have a small shop and the dust collector is very much in the open. I is not as loud as I expected. Not quiet, but significantly less noise than my shop vac, table saw, etc.

No. mine is not loud at all. The suction is very strong so you have to be careful when vacuuming.

I have had many vacuums in my lifetime. I think the Miele is the quietest one by far. You can hear it kick up a notch when it changes from the sound of the motor using the attachments to the brush roller going into gear = but neither is loud. I love my vacuum.

I have not found this to be so. In fact, this model replaces an older Oreck that is now assigned garage duty. It is definitely quieter. It is also much quieter than the hoover wind tunnel that I just threw out because of faulty hosing. All vacuums make noise. At least this one is not deafening and it is a breeze to use. Go to an Oreck store and try it first if you still have doubts. However, if you decide to buy, Amazon's pricing is much better. Hope this helps.

Yeah i would say it's a tad loud. Especially if you use the vacuume. That being said, it's literally never crossed my mind before now.

It's not terribly loud. My shop vac is noisier. Most all of the tools it would be used with are going to be noisier. Good hearing protection should be used regardless of what dust collector is used I have owned mine for two years now and it is performing very well. Much less dust than my previous unit which is why I upgraded. It handles a couple tools at the same time very well. I recommend it. Might cost a bit more than others but worth it.

No really quiet or loud.... If you want power it makes noise, but less than a vacuum cleaner !!!

I Guess as garbage disposals go it's fairly quiet. It's not excessively noisy. I'm satisfied with my purchase. Hope this helps.

It's pretty quiet. I have it in my TV room and don't notice any noise...I don't have air conditioning anywhere in my house. I only use this portable one in one room and love it.

It is quiet next to a jet propelled vacuumed cleaner, it doesn't wake my grand daughter from her naps. I love it

SLS: I don't recall any sound rating for the unit; however, it's quieter than all of my shop vacs. It does produce ambient noise while in use, but if you're using it with machines, the machines are generally going to be louder than the unit. The unit is pulling a lot of air, which in my experience is the source of most of the noise (air flow, not motor noise). I've had mine for almost 7 years now, and I am happy with it.

None of these answers seemed very clear to me. The noise level is quite impressive. It is very decently quiet on the lowest setting and yet you still get very strong suction out it. On the highest setting, it is about as loud as most any vacuum. (which is still not bad). If I had a decibel reader, I would give you a more detailed and accurate answer.

Not as quiet as you would hope, but much more quiet than any vacuum we've ever owned.

No. I don't think it is noisy nor do I think it is noiseless. I didn't really think of the sound it produces until you posted this. It makes a reasonable amount of noise. The brushes are turned by the rotation of the wheels and do make some noise, but nothing I would consider out of the ordinary for its type of mechanism. (It is quieter than my Dyson ...)

It's no louder than any other vacuum I've had the pleasure of using, so I guess it would be a 3. I live in an apartment and fairly certain it doesn't disturb my neighbors
