How loud is it? Will it disrupt my coworkers if I keep it at my desk?

Hi, had to go brew a cup of tea to answer this question. I can't say if this would be anoying, I guess it depends on how quiet your office is, if you can hear a pin drop, then most definitely. If it is an active office, maybe not. Of course you can hear the water boiling, much like the level of an home expresso machine dispensing. But what I find annoying is the loud click as it steps through it stages. Easily heard in the next room.

It does make a loud Click when it begins and there is a noise when the water heats. But if you are in an office setting where there is other ambient noise I don't think it would be that disruptive. However, it is pretty large for a desk. It is about the same size as a regular coffee make but taller.

Hm. Haven't used it during the summer, so am relying on memory. There is a loud "clunk" at the beginning of the process, and then some water sounds, but other than that it's quiet. It wouldn't be anything like the constant sound of an espresso machine.

It makes a click noise when you turn it on, click when it drops the water to the glass pitcher & I think it has one more click when it turns over to the warmer. It is very tall. I love it!! It makes the best brewed tea ever !!!! I don't think it will bother your c-workers once they know what the click is...lol !!

It may work very well in an office. It has a single very loud sound that does not stop until you turn it off.

On the low setting it will be pretty quiet. On high there will be a noticeable sound. I like it on my desk because it muffles out other conversations sort of like a white noise. I like this fan a lot.

I have a home office, but do need to participate in teleconferences, and I have asked people whether they can hear it; they say 'no'. a cubicle can be a little different that this, however. it makes the same swooshing noise that any treadmill makes as the belt moves, and your stepping noise would still be heard also. probably depends on your office's overall noise level.

Well I wouldn't say this mouse is quiet, but, I don't think it is any noisier than the Dell and Microsoft mice that I have used before. I would say in an office environment you would probably be ok, unless it is unusually quiet where you work.

We recommend using the BLSTPB-WBL on your desk, the noise level is not as bad as most, but loud enough none the less.

It's not silent, but it's pretty quiet. I think it would be hard to hear in an active office, and I doubt you could hear it through a cubicle wall. But this definitely a slight hum.

It's quite quiet, no problem for next door cubicles, the loudest sound is your feet. The beeps are pretty loud, but only occur when you start and when you change the speed. It does not beep when set up and running.

Very good noise canceling. You can still hear really loud sounds here and there if your music is soft enough. But a person would certainly need to raise their voice from their normal "indoor" voice in order to get your attention. If your music is loud enough, there's no chance you'll hear any outside noises really. Would not advise for office use...

It's loud enough that I wouldn't put it in an open space where people are working. With the door shut on our server closet, I can still hear it a little bit (I sit about 20' from it) because of the vent duct between the office and the closet.

Not extremely loud. I work as a contractor and it is good enough for the jobsite. We have The bigger bosch radio also and it gets really loud. I am very happy with this little one though.

I use it at work twice a day. It makes a thumping noise which I can hear, but I just had a co-worker step outside my cubicle & she couldn't hear it. I've talked to people on the phone a few times while it's been on & haven't heard any comments. Other than the thumping it's really very quiet.

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.

I think it gets pretty loud. I bought it for work and really like it. Love it being Bluetooth and we play from our phones and iPads

not loud at all. I used it in an office setting and it didn't disturb anyone.

It is about the same noise level as most blenders. Depending on your own office environment, it might be disruptive to co- workers even if you only use it once a day for a few minutes.

Oh no. This sets on my desk in an open cube and it is very quiet. You'll be amazed. Hope this helps.
