Is the pump noisy when it's running?

Not really, but I don't use it inside a room so the open air somehow muffles the sound of the pump. There is a hum that I hear when it's running

I use about 10 of these and they are all in utility closets. When the sun is bright and no cloud there is a humming noise - no real disturbance

Not very noisy at all. We use the pumps for a race car driver's cool suit (circulates coolant through a vest to keep the driver cools in a 150 degree environment) so we don't care about noise. But it is almost impossible to tell if the pump is running without touching it.

I have two of these pumps. Both are used to circulate hot water in a boiler operated RV heating system. Both are very quiet.

A little bit but not bad and since it is only during the sunlight hours it doesn't matter to me.

No, it is so quite you need to touch it to feel the vibration to know it is running

Mine does make some noise when the water circulates through the pipes but not excessive. It may have something to do with how much water pressure you have when the valve opens and closes.

Mine is noisy too, but I have it in a closed utility room. With the utility room door closed, it is not objectionable. Love the pressure boost!

Im not sure..I brought for my boyfriend for his work van. The pump works. He did say pump is a lil noisy.

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.

Not normal! No motor noise, maybe just a hum. Unless the motor is not stationed firmly and is maybe vibrating, I would return. Mine is so quiet, I sometimes forget it is there until I here running water!

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.

I use it as a submerged pump. Very little noise because it's under the water. Good luck.

Make sure the tube going into the pump isn't kinked and fits nicely in the out spout. I don't think my is noisy. My dog and my two cats use it just fine.

Fairly noisy but it only makes noise as you fill it...like when you plug it in and silent until you initiate the air flow.

The pump does make a humming sound. The pump only runs when increasing the pressure. Not while sleeping.

I find it to be very quiet except when the reservoir is running low, which is good because it alerts me to refill the reservoir. I have it sitting on a rubber mat and the noise is almost nothing.

No it isn't noisy at all. Mine leaked badly at first. I contacted the company and was told a few things about the importance of placing it on a level surface. Because it was dripping, I had put a towel under it. I followed the instructions and it has worked great!

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

Actually it's pretty quiet. The pump is located in the bottom of the unit so it's not by your ear.

No, it is not one of the quieter ones. Personally I think it is fairly loud, especially for one very good reason.That reason is...this pump needs vent holes in the pipe section between the pump and valve. The holes cause water to stream out as the pump is working and after it turns off. This stream is fairly loud.Better to get a pump that specifically doesn't need these vent holes, such as a Wayne unit.

I don't believe it is, there is no sound of continuously running water that I always heard on my old Kitchen Aid ice machine. It is much quieter than my old machine.
