How loud is it? I'm looking for something quieter than my Shark vacuum that I can use after the kids are asleep in the hallway outside of their rooms.

It isnt that loud. It depends on how light of sleepers your kids are. Wouldnt bother my daughter, but would wake my son.

Not gonna lie, it's pretty loud in my opinion however I have high ceilings & an open floor plan. If your kids are light sleepers you might want to explore other options. My 2 year old son can sleep through it but he's always been a sound sleeper.

It's not very loud. The vacuum just doesn't pick up much of anything. Don't waste your money.

Not too loud....about the noise of a hand held vac, but the life of the battery stinks....and then you throw away because the battery is not replaceable! Waste of money!

It has a high pitched noise (similar to a hand held portable car vacuum) but because it is battery powered it is definitely quieter than a regular vacuum with a much more powerful motor. Be advised though that the manuafacturer recommends that once started that you let the battery run down (roughly 12-15 minutes) rather than turning off. This extends the life of the battery. I clean approximately 1,000 square feet of hardwood, tile and lenolium floors and it is still running for 2-4 more miuntes afterwards.

The shark is not very noisy and it has attachments for furniture. Using the vaccum as an upright is not very good on bare floors. The bare floor attachment works but I don't like taking the time to switch it all the time

Hi Rachel~sorry for the delay in answering~computer has been out for several weeks and just got a new one!! The Dyson is certainly quieter than my last one and I really haven't noticed much noise because I am so amazed with the machine~it is WONDERFUL!!! Thanks for your interest!! Merry Christmas!!!

Yeah i would say it's a tad loud. Especially if you use the vacuume. That being said, it's literally never crossed my mind before now.

I don't know exactly, but it is loud. Not ear-splitting loud though. I wouldn't let the noise level deter me from buying this vacuum. Like most of the smaller vacuums, it runs a bit hot, but it doesn't bother me as I usually stop before doing all of my vacuuming.

Yeah, it is KINDA noisy... 7,8? You would prob wake someone up in another room without closing the door if they are a touchy person about that kind of thing. But I think this hair dryer is average in noise. I don't think you're going to find quieter. Dryers are loud.

It sounds like a vacuum cleaner. It's maybe a little noisier than some hand-held vacs because it is more powerful, but I don't think it's dramatically louder.

The robots we have, (five of them), are not noisy at all compared to a regular vacuum. We can have one running in the same room with us while watching television with just a slight increase in volume. If I sleep late, my wife can run one in another room without disturbing me. (Provided the door is shut). I would judge that the db level is just a little above that of a dishwasher. For the value received, the robot sound is very tolerable

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.

Needs to be plugged in, In terms of noise as others responded it does get quite loud, It's about as loud as a regular vacuum cleaner.

I'm not sure how it compares with other vacuums, but it seems loud to me. Definitely loud enough to scare my baby daughter.

Is the area you're using it in large enough that you could move it to another room, or behind furniture? I don't notice the high-pitch noise so much but the growling motor is pretty loud to me, and so I use it in a central g room where it's not such a nuisance. The low setting volume is better but then it takes longer to dry the room(s). I hope you find a satisfactory solution!

The motor is loud. But u can cover it while using the motor which does decrease noise...I did that when I did not want to wake grandchild.

It's a bit loud and it doesn't have a retractable cord - but it's a great little vacuum with good suction power! I use it as an extra vacuum for my small studio downstairs and for cleaning my car and patio. ;-)

On carpet it is a little noisier than my last vaccuum ( which wasn't a Hoover) but it isn't terrible. The vaccuum works SO incredibly well that I'm ok with the noise, but again it isn't substantially noisier than any other vaccuum I have used. The one situation where this vaccuum is very noisy, is when you vaccuum bare floor with the rollers. If you click off the rollers (with a simple foot press) and use suction only on the bare floor , that makes the noise drop significantly. I use suction only on my bare floors and it picks up everything. Hope this helps.

Yes it is very quiet. I am up early and like to "vacuum" before I leave. My downstairs neighbors never even hear it.

This is very quiet.....about the same noise level as a steam iron. I don't think you should have a problem using while baby sleeping---your footsteps will be louder than this mop!
