How loud is this guy ? In comparison to other household appliances,/to a normal vacuum or bathroom fan. ? Looking for something quiet as possible.

it sounds like a normal vacuum to me, it is not what I would call a quiet machine.

I have not tried to turn that off. I dont think it is that Loud at all especially when you close the Bathroom door. It probably sounds like the BATH FAn running outside. The Vacuum though allows for NO CLEAN UP which is so great. Never had one before with a Vacuum and I will never buy another one without it. My wife is most happy because she doesnt have to tell me to clean up my hair anymore haha....

The two I have are very quiet. Get a plumber, maybe you have a air vacuum issue.

I can't tell you in decibels, but my experience is that it is typical for a cordless vac. Quieter than a shop vac. Would buy this again in a heartbeat, the only thing I wish it had was a constant "on" switch in addition to the trigger switch.

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.

Ive only ever had german vacuums, SEBO (which I think is much better to be honest) and the MIELE. However, MIELE do claim to be one of the quietest. There are a number of You tube videos showing it in action so that will give you a better idea of the sound.

I would rate the noise level as medium. Not exactly noisy, but not whisper quiet. It's a great machine. Very efficient and worth the money. Great suction power.

This vacuum is around 80 db. With the roller not moving 75db. If you want a great vacuum that is around 65 db it gonna cost with some reduction. Electrolux ultra silencer is a good low level noise at about 63. It's a cannister. For an upright, check out the Hoover wind tunnel S3670. It was quite but I didn't feel the umph! I wish I could tell you more but I am limited to my shopping experiences and research I did. Wish I could test them all. Hope that helps! Dennis

It's normal, for a smaller vac. It's certainly not loud like a Kirby or anything

No really quiet or loud.... If you want power it makes noise, but less than a vacuum cleaner !!!

Dear Anne,I have yet to find a vacuum cleaner which is quiet. I do not think that this model is any noisier than any other but, of course, you may disagree.I recommend that you do what my wife and I do: use ear plugs while vacuuming. Yes, this can be annoying, but it is better than possibly damaging your hearing. (My wife wears ear plugs when using a blow-dryer too.)Meanwhile, this vacuum cleans like a champ. Don't you agree?I hope this answer helps you.Lawrence H. Bulk

No! I didn't really find it very noisy at all - not any noisier than a vacuum cleaner.

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

No more than any other one I have owned, I would not say its quiet, but on par with other low priced vacs:-)

I bought this for my old employer and haven't seen this unit for a long time. I think it had a fan, but I'm not sure. I don't remember it being especially loud. But it was in a temperature-controlled closet with a lot of other equipment, so the whole closet had a bit of a fan-hum to it. Sorry I can't give you more information. Good luck in your purchase.

One other comment to add. I read where one person said it was loud. Mine is relatively quiet...much quieter than an up right.

Mine is about half as loud as a regular, larger, corded 110 volt vacuum cleaner. If a phone were ringing nearby, you'd here it. If were ringer farther away (say 30 feet), you might not hear it.
