Hi, i am looking for the quietest filtration system. Anyone experience the sound levels for the Grizzly g9956 or the Jet 1000? Both are in my budget.

Hard to say. Grizzly has three speeds. Usually my furnace is going and it is louder than this. This is in my shop. Table saw or other louder machines running. If you are seeking quiet is it for another area? If so You may want to go with a different type of unit.

The Grizzly is 1/3 HP and the Jet is 1/4 HP. The grizzly will move a lot more air but will make more noise. Either way, when running will be loud enough to drowned out all but the loudest of radios so be ready. You want dust in your lungs or music? Good luck.

Hi! Being 1.25" was one of the reasons why I went with Fleck. Works great (10 months since it was installed). The filter could be a bottleneck....Have a nice day!

Jet provides decibel ratings for this unit on their webpage. I think the noise produced by this unit will depend of the acoustics in your shop. I own 2 of these units in my shop, they run in a circular motion one on a west wall one on a east wall. Like the other post I agree on low seems to get the job done for my shop too. If you have AC in your shop just make sure the outlet side of this unit does not face the AC unit. I give both my units 4 stars they seem to work great and a 12x24 furnace filter seems to catch most of the dust on the inlet side too before it reaches the secondary filter. Hope this helps!

I have had numerous Remington shavers including this one. Sorry to report that all of them have the same amount of noise. I also have a Norelco and it is much quieter.

I had a 306 on my 40 gallon breeder and it completely cleared up the sand and dirt that would go everywhere when u messed with the tank. There is an adjustable control if you want less watee flow. But I just got a 90 gallon and I have to get a g6. The price of the g6 is not pleasing lol.

Yes it is noisy because of the pump type. I sold it and bought the Kendal 898D+ and it is quiet.

Yes it is. Does a much better job than the round ones (went thru several of those) and it is significantly quieter while it does it. The Blueair on its highest speed is about equal to low on the round ones. At one speed down from the top, it is barely noticeable. It's been running non-stop since we got it with no problems. Filter changes are quick and easy and mess-free. The "pre-filter" is the metal intake grill. Just wipe a Swiffer over it every week or so.

Honestly I'd go with the Rolls solid state pre-amp filter and not the passive like I have - I'm going to have to call Rolls and to see what's the best device to boost the input signal into the passive filter - I'm getting excellent sound but I want more volume when using the G5 - for most people it would be more than loud enough - it's really a simple fix of having a good pre-amp - I see what your doing - all I can say is I'm not having your problem with my set up - you need to make sure your signal is clean

Hi Kara, The Spectra 9 is an amazing little pump! It will fit anywhere and has so many features! But, because of it's size, I wouldn't say it is the quietest of pumps and it isn't the loudest of pumps. You will be able to hear it but it definitely isn't obtrusive! If you want complete silence with your pump, I highly recommend the Spectra Dew 350 or the Spectra S2. These are hospital grade pumps and, although they are a bit bigger(not TOO much), they are really efficient and quiet. Hope that helps. Let us know if you have any more questions. THANKS!

I have no noise really to speak of. I've used K&N; open oil type and did get some whistle.The good thing about the filter is no oil, no oil can get in your intake which I have read can happen.I've read a lot before I bought this and most, not all, say this is best way to go, gives you better air flow but not to much like open oil type and w/o oil. The closed oiled system is cheaper and will do fine, that fact that it's closed makes it quite. Either one is very good.

Mine came w/a filter. I would expect based on use that I will then purchase them from now on. Very Quiet, BTW. Wishing You The Best!

Thanks everyone for your answer. It does seem to be one specific, and newer, model that makes the running water sound. We have noticed the noise most definitely attracts other birds besides our normal residents (maybe ones that would have kept flying by without noticing?) I'd strongly recommend the version that makes the running water noise, which, I've learned, is apparently the 6WW. We're only in need of another because some raccoons took exception to our ownership of the agitator arm (that spins the water) and stole it. :( Anyway... Thanks again, everyone.

Do not buy this unit. I did not give it a good review. Buy the Whisperpure 510 by Whirlpool. It is more expensive, but worth every penny of it. Keeps the air clean and is very quiet. My daughter has had one for several years and is still working.

Anything above level 3 is noisy and sounds ugly. I have Winix WAC9500 and it gives smoother white noise on level HIGH that helps me to sleep. This one sounds like turbulence inside due to the design. The air hits the ceiling of the filter tower. However, this machine is much stronger than Winix.

Honestly I dont know. I will just say that I love my unit, very quiet and does the job well. Filters can be pricey (~$70 every 3 months) but well worth it...

How you plan to use it would make the difference, it is designed to be used on boat bilges. in almost all circumstances boat bilge blowers are loud, due to size and volume of air delivery requirements. This one is substantially quieter, smoother than the Attwood and other cheap models. Also has a thicker shell construction making it possible to utilize an "insulated" flex tube both too, and from, with at least one slow bend to dampen actual motor noise. To answer he "Q", DB wise I have Two in my bilge (07 Sea Ray, twin 5.0 liter MPI V-8's and 5.0 KW Kohler generator) at a real calm Idle entering or leaving the slip I can easily hear the blowers over the engines and genny. By them selves they put out around 68 DB at the helm, hatch closed venting out both sides at rear approx. 8 ft away. In the engine room, about 72DB +/-, Anything over an absolute idle, they cannot be heard over engines, even with the engine room hatch open. This depends on which direction the intake hose is pointed in relation to the meter/mic. Also note the more and tighter the bends to reduce noise the less efficient the air flow Hope this helps.

Easy to clean. I think you could put a filter in, there's room. However I don'tknow how a filter will effect performance. I can say this fan is called Whisper! It is noisy!!
