I have ours installed in the basement and I do occasionally hear a very faint humming sound, but it's never loud enough that my wife or son hear it. As for the tube, I don't remember how much came with it, but if you need more Home Depot, lowes, or Ace has the tubing and it isn't very expensive.

Not noisy at all. Should have the power to run 21 feet just as long it's not much of a vertical lift.

Very quiet. Only on for a few seconds. Yes it will push water 21'. There is a limit on how high you need to lift the water though.

i doubt if you will be able to hear it. i have a hard time hearing it standing a few feet from it while the furnace is running. 21 feet should be ok. mine runs up 8 feet and out 15 feet no problem. the elevation is the limiting factor. you should be able to go to the manufacturer web site and look at the installation instructions and specs.

It is not noisy at all. You probably will not hear it in your living room. Yes, it can easily push moisture 21 feet to a sink.

Mine is in a utility closest in my mother-in-law suite which is under my living room. I can hear it from the room with the closest, but not from the adjoining bedroom or living room unless the house is very quiet. The run from my pump goes up about a 7 foot rise through about 2 feet of plastic tubing and about 25 feet of copper to get to a PVC drain.

It is very quiet and you will barely hear it. Yes you can I had mine run up 8 feet straight up and then over 13 feet to the sink.

It's not quiet if that's your question; it has run very well for me and usually starts with first or second pull with half choke; if you set the unit 20 feet away from your work area it will be fine...

Ours is extremely noisy when running. We have a basement home theater in the room adjoining the utility room where the pump is located, and it's extremely unpleasant if the pump is running and we're trying to watch a movie. And that is with the utility room door closed.

We have not had trouble with noise. I am particular about this so I can tell you it is quiet! Our finished basement is approximately 1000 square feet. We can watch Tv, play games without really noticing the machine. Ours runs continuously. I do have to empty it more often than our last machine but maybe this one is just better at removing moisture? Our basement stays at a comfortable humidity level. (&lt;50%)

the pump noise varies on surface and what diameter hose you have on it as that seems to conduct noise also (pump is louder with bigger tubbing I have noticed. I personally have is outside under a bucket so its pretty quiet in that case :) I know several people that could sleep through it, I could not, and I would think it would be too loud for a bedroom, this is a great pump but its definitely better a ways away from sleeping areas.

It's not super noisy but it's not whisper quiet either. I have mine in the living room, I don't know that it'd be good for running overnight in a bedroom. Also, I live in NYC and probably have a higher noise tolerance than people who live in rural or suburban areas.

It is not too bad from a noise perspective. Mine runs in the basement almost constantly and is OK. If you spend a lot of time next to it the noise could be of concern. The unit is energy start rated but my electrical consumption has significantly jumped this year. Mainly because I have the drain hose connected to it so it runs much more than my old unit where I would forget to empty the bucket on a regular basis.

I have mine in the basement. I can hear it from the top of the basement stairs but do not hear it in the living room above the basement. There shouldn't be any problem with adjacent apartments.

It is loud but not bothersome. We have it in our basement and my kids love it.

This is a relatively quiet pipe, rated at 98db's. However, if you want it quieter, there is a Vortex Quiet insert (not included) available here:Big Gun Quiet Insert Vortex 41-E0053

I use mine in my basement while I am working in the same room. It is not noisy in my opinion. I doubt anyone could hear it through a wall. Set it on a piece of short napped indoor/outdoor carpet or something.

standing 3 feet away from this pump you can only hear a very soft hum which is unavoidable,and my tank has water falling in it which completely covers the sound,definitely far from noisy,hope this helps...

IF you have to use an extension cord get a GOOD contractor heavy one. (It says not to use one at all) As for the Noise.. Not bad at all. It does have a sound but the thing is the air being dry makes it worth that sound to me. I am running it in the basement of a home that had some major water problems and I am very happy with it.

I have had this unit for 2 years. I am very satisfied with it in regards to noise and heat distribution. I have it in my basement covering approx. 300 square feet. The unit is quiet and does not get hot on the outside. I would recommend.

Yes it has to run the whole time you want it up it it will go flat. We have it in the basement. It's not that noisy.

My husband installed ours, and he said he doesn't see why the unit couldn't be mounted in the basement. Ours is not installed under the sink (which I think is the norm), but about approx. 20 feet from kitchen sink. The only thing is that it would require longer lines. We love ours!

Hi, I live in a one story home...but I do the tread climber at 4 am and no one in my house has complained about the noise. We put foam puzzle mats under it so that it would not damage the floor so this may be helping too. Note: we keep our house pretty cool about 63 degrees. It takes the shocks a few minutes to warm up so it is a little bit clunky at first. Also this thing has wheels but is extremely heavy once it is put together so moving it up and downstairs if you move will take two grown strong men. But this is not a bad thing because it feels sturdy when supporting the weight of my 300 lb husband, some machine we have had in the past feel flimsy.
