The proxxon is quieter then the competition that I have used but I haven't used the one you mention. Also, you mention cordless...there is a big difference between cordless and A/C corded units.

It is a lot quieter than a shopvac, and about aas loud as a cordless drill. It is not loud at all. No winch can be used for hours on end without stopping, it is not meant for that.

It makes a lot less noise than a typical Contractor-type generator however it makes more noise than my wife's sewing machine. Seriously when I take it camping I just set the generator up at the front of my truck and run a cord to the back of the truck and I hardly hear it.

it isn't very quiet when running. however, I plan on using it mainly for power outages, so the loudness won't be a problem. And it will be running a ways from the house. If you are concerned about loudness, such as for a campsite where it would be run daily, you might want to check the data on several before purchasing one. hope this helps you.

It's not silent, obviously, and I don't have any other generators to compare it to, but to me it seems relatively quiet. When I run it out on the driveway about 8 feet from the garage with the exhaust pointed away, I can't hear it in my house unless I go upstairs to the room directly over the garage. Even then, it's not particularly loud. I certainly don't need ear protection when I'm standing next to it. There are some videos on youtube you can listen to, such as: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqIPeDCumrY

Not too bad. It's not quiet as Miele but neither as loud as dirty devil or Hoover vacuum. I even find eureka Mughty mite or the boss much louder than this one. But if you're looking for something quiet it's either Electrolux or Miele. But that's more money so for the price I'd say: go for it. But remember to wash the filter every few months for best results. Good luck.

Does it make a loud noise (roar, whirl, etc) when in use? Also, I am interested in the cord length?

It's loud. I love how tough it is and it can double as a battery charger. It's a little louder than my other one

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.

Quite a bit quieter than my old one. On the high setting you can still hear it, but I generally use the middle setting and it is much more efficient and WAY quieter. Remember you are getting about 80% of the flow for 50% of the electricity, and about half the noise.

I love ours we had it at our camp site running our big motorhome with 4 other people and I ran it all night and it didn't bother no one we even had a small bear come and laid by it so I would say it doesn't run loud and it runs a long time when it shuts off by it self make sure you check the oil right away over all me and my husband would recommend it to any one

Hi, The one I had before this was a 12 amp "Dirt Devil." This one is slightly quieter but not by much. I guess I would say the noise level is average, but I haven't had much experience with a wide range of vacuums. My cat doesn't like it though and leaves the room while I use it.

It's fairly quiet, but there is a low hum. If you need total silence this will not do for you. However, this is the quietest battery-operated fan that I found.

It is surprisingly quiet. The one on my wood stove is more quiet than the original 4c447 blower. I do not find it annoying while watching TV and it is only a few feet away.

We had an older unit (maybe 10-15 years) it was quite loud. This one is comparably quieter. It is not silent though; it does make noise. I am very happy w our unit... bought another for a different room. I give it (both Friedriches actually) 5 stars.
