Its not loud but its not as effective air pressure wise as in hospital. I returned it. Quality is not same as in hospital.

Mine is not quiet, but it's certainly not offensive. Sounds like most any pump machine.

I have the external pump attached to mine and it has a noticeable tick sound. Mine is under the sink in the cabinet and I still hear it. You get used to it after a while.

In my opinion it is not too loud, of course it sounds like any electric pump but in a normal volume. I've tried medella swing and Avent and by far Spectra is the Best pump... Just in 5 to 10 minutes I get 5 ounces from one breast.

Yes, it is loud. I was warned by one the reviews before buying it, but bought it anyway. I am happy with the machine overall, but the noise has got the biggest downside.

Noise is not an issue of concern. These electric induction motors are very quiet and the pumps generate some noise but really annoying.

The pump is not that loud. Mine is in the garage, so the sound is not an issue for us. It does make a clicking sound every few seconds while it is refilling the tank after you use water and also while it fills the tank. Otherwise, it does not make noise unless it is in use. Hope that helps!

Yes, there is noise as it pumps the water. It's not deafeningly loud, but it's loud.

even a little bicycle pump is loud, just the nature of the beast- but all and all, I'd call it "normal" for an air compressor, not overly loud, but your neighbor will know oyu are using it.

Mine is just a little louder than a factory pump. I did mount it with rubber isolators though.

Not too loud. With cork underlayment flooring I can barely hear it, and I have very good ears. Pump is in the crawl in space.

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

It is no louder than other filters. The main noises are the bubbles and the pump. If your pump is quiet the filter will be quiet. I keep mine in my bedroom and the noise does not bother me.

This is a question that might be very personal. I consider the sound loud, but certainly not annoying. The machine works very well, so you have to consider if another machine that is quieter will work as well. Hopefully this answered your question.

I have this pump installed in a building that is insulated ..some times it runs 24 hours a day only run as I need it...I don't have a measure device to tell how loud it is when running. In order to hear it running you have to be with in appox 30 feet from out side of building to hear it running..It is very quite for this type of pump.

Noisy is a difficult term to define. Not more noisier than other pumps like it. You can definitely hear pump running. Suggest you have some barrier (wall or floorboard) between you and the pump if you want a quiet environment. Noise resembles a humming sound but does get louder as pressure builds up.

It has abit of noise if you haven't had a waterer before - but it is alot quieter than any others I have had. pump does have slight vibration but I have 2 cats & 2 dogs & it took them no time to get used to it after being scared of it at first. give it a few days & neither you nor your animals will even hear it anymore!
