We are considering buying this product, but I see no comments on the noise level emitted by these vacuum cleaners. Could someone please speak to that

I have found the noise level to be consistent with the Kenmore versions of the same.
2084943
It's not noiseless but quieter than the Kenmore upright I had before this. There's less noise when using just the hose with cleaning attachments rather than the full vacuum.

Great vacuum, no more noise than any other, all the attachments are in the canister, lighter than uprights, picks up well, just remember to check the bag.

I don't have a problem with the vacuum canister's motor, but something seems to be wrong with the powerhead. It has a deafening roar. I will be taking it in for repair.

I don't know if this helps but we had a similar Kenmore model prior to the Panasonic and it was much noisier. With an expectation that louder is more powerful we were concerned that this one may not do the job but have not been disappointed at all. Overall we have been very happy with it and bags and belts are readily available (have not needed a belt).

We find the Panasonic moderately noisy when the rug-beater brushes are whirling. Not enough to be a deal breaker but that would depend on the buyer's hearing sensitivity.

It's tough to compare it to anything because the noise it makes is unlike any other shop machine. It's on the low pitched side and way, way less than a shop vac. It turns into a background noise and isn't objectionable, at least to me. You can listen to music while it's on though you'll need to crank up the volume another notch or two.

Mine is pretty quiet compared to others I've had (Hoover, Dyson & Oreck). I've had all types of vacs and this is by far my favorite.

If you find a vacuum that's not loud, please let me know. I've never been able to find one.

That would be pretty difficult to answer, since your question is subjective. I had an older wind tunnel that replaced me new one, but I don't notice any difference in the decibel level. It has been a top rated vacuum for years in Consumer Reports, way about more expensive Dysons and Rainbows, and it does much better cleaning that those high priced machines.

In my opinion, I find this vacuum to be no louder than a standard household upright model. The noise is about "average".

The robots we have, (five of them), are not noisy at all compared to a regular vacuum. We can have one running in the same room with us while watching television with just a slight increase in volume. If I sleep late, my wife can run one in another room without disturbing me. (Provided the door is shut). I would judge that the db level is just a little above that of a dishwasher. For the value received, the robot sound is very tolerable

I totally understand your concerns about noise. I bought 3 and one of them does make noise. The other two are silent. However the one that does make noise is still quieter than other brands I have.

The scent is freshair it is not a strong scent at all.As far as them being safe for your vacuum I have not had any problems at all.As for the noise I have not notice any.I use my vacuum every day.I hope that I could help.

I would say it makes an average vacuum cleaner noise. It does not have a really high (or whiny timbre) I do not currently have any pets...so I can't say for sure.

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.

I don't know, but it certainly isn't any louder than any other vacuum I've used.

Hi Jeff The voice is loud. As per the manufacturer, it is set at the same level as the beeps (85db). It is part of the audible warning system. As a comparison, a typical household vacuum cleaner emits 70db. Hope this helps. Regards Mark

Hello, according to a review I read in "Fine Woodworking" magazine, the rated noise level is 83 db. I have owned this dust collector for almost 3 years. The noise level is much less than my large craftsman shop vacuum. I do run the Delta in another section of the garage/shop though so much of the noise is behind a wall. If you do opt to purchase this or a similar system, I recommend placing it behind a wall and not directly in your shop space if that is possible. You can get a remote on/off switch if it is out of sight and reach. Another tip is to get an Oneida "Super Dust Deputy" cyclonic dust separator to run with the machine. This keeps almost all dust and chips out of the dust collector, keeping the filter bag cleaner so the machine runs more efficiently for a longer period of time between cleaning or replacing bags. Good luck! This machine gets with the program and gets the job done in a small shop like mine.

It sounds like a vacuum cleaner. It's maybe a little noisier than some hand-held vacs because it is more powerful, but I don't think it's dramatically louder.

I can't say what the decibels is but can say that it is loud. I wear ear plugs and it seems to take care of the problem for me. I feel that the suction and cleaning power of this vacuumdefinitely off set the negative sound.

I've owned 5-10 vacuums over the years. This is by far the noisiest. When I vacuum my half bath and want to vacuum behind the door (which entails closing the door), I brace myself for the deafening sound, then quickly finish to get the door back open. I also make sure I turn the vacuum on after I unclick it from upright position (and opposite when turning it off) - the decibel level coming out of the top of the tube seems borderline dangerous to me.
