How noisy, or loud is it?

93 dB like a vacuum cleaner. If used for long period of time you could use ear plugs that can attenuate the noise.

Fairly noisy but it only makes noise as you fill it...like when you plug it in and silent until you initiate the air flow.

It's really not too bad. It is so worth buying if you are filling balloons. I would buy it again!

Maybe there is some variance? I don't know. Others say it's soft, some say it's loud. I think it's just slightly above average at about 6. If you dislike the sound I can imagine it would be annoying.

Not very noisy at all. Since I use it outside, what little sound it produces is not a problem.

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 .

One other comment to add. I read where one person said it was loud. Mine is relatively quiet...much quieter than an up right.

It is quite average. It is certainly not extra quiet but it also is not annoyingly loud.

We use it in an enclosed basement and it is certainly tolerable for the amount of time it is on. Rough comparison I would say it is about as loud as a vacuum cleaner or a noisy hair dryer.

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

Yes, I'd say it is about as loud as it gets based on my white noise experience over the past ten years. I use one in my young daughters room.

It is somewhat loud. The higher the setting, the louder. I use it in my garage and it works well.

Relatively. I use it in an outdoor office, so I'm not very sensitive to its sound, but I haven't noticed it being overly loud when it's running.

For the size that it is, I think it is fairly loud. I use it for my excerise room and bathroom and it's loud enough that I can hear it clearly. The sound carries out well.

Well, it is noisy but not enough to bother people. Maybe as noisy as an electric can opener?

It's relatively quiet. It's not a mechanical keyboard so it's not that loud. It's average I'd say.

It is a little loud. But I have it in my garage and watch tv. I just turn it up a lil louder than normal �

Yes, I find it fairly loud. On my machine, anyway, which is older and ready to be replaced because it leaks.
