How loud is the noise when the darts hit the board? I am afraid it may annoy my co-worker in an adjacent office.

Well, I've never even noticed the noise. So I'm thinking not loud at all! It's magnetic so maybe a "ping" sound. There's no added electronic sound effects.

You can place it on the wall or on the floor and then either throw it at the wall [which does make some "tonk" sound when it hits, but it's not too loud. I like throwing it into the air and see if I can hit it while it is on the ground, kind-of like horse shoes. Very fun. They stick really well.

The noise made sounds like someone is clapping - big potential to annoy others in an office! So sorry - but great for kids on rainy days!

Not really very noisy. If it's a cubicle they could probably hear, but if in an office with the full wall I doubt it.

Not yet. I have been using my own darts with thick tips I got from a local bar. I have to hold the board every time I pull the darts out because they stick TOO MUCH but I have never had them bounce out consistantly on me.

No it does not. I think because it is a higher caliber board, they are thinking you already have darts. I was buying the board on another players recommendation. Again, I will say it is a superior board by far.

I've asked coffee friends about the 'puck' ... depends on how hard you hit it.I went out to hit my table...it is fairly solid, but does make a noise when struck.Louder as force increasesIt is not flimsy vibrating metal ---'snare-ish' Bottom of table top has crosspieces welded for added stability and rigidity. In a quite room this might be to much noise, but with normal background it might not be noticed.Sorry not much help ...

While gaming you can hear it, but its not loud like a jet turbine at 40%, 50% to 90% (max, sound like a turbine and dont recommend it. Blades gets some flex and might brake off. Blades was hitting my sound card on the soldered tips and it was loud "tatatata". I just wanted to hear how loud it gets and never doing it again) I use earbuds for gaming so i dont hear it and have my pc behind the monitor

It makes about the same amout of noise as my microwave makes. Since you wouldn't be using it for an extended period of time, unless your office is very small and very quiet, it probably wouldn't bother anyone.

I don't have anything as noisy in my shop as a planer to test, but if you turn the mic volume down they act as regular sound supressors. With shooting and then standing around while the instructor talked, there were a few times I forgot I still had them on.

Jim I have the same board and these darts. Highly recommend you get the snub nosed tips NOT the standard long ones. And buy the big bag....you'll go through them. Once the tips get a bit soft....the darts don't stay in the board well. Sorry I'm mobile and don't have a link to post.

I have a dimmer switch on mind. As for the dart board, let's be sensible, I personally would NEVER throw a dart at something that had a device above it that required an exposed electrical cord to light it.

It makes a little bit of noise. Nothing overly obnoxious, which is a great thing, as I work in an office environment.

Yes I've used it at work. It's just a little loud with all the pounding it does.

I would recommend maybe a piece of wooden paneling $5 - $10. The darts have plastic tips, so they really don't penetrate a wall. I supposed they might leave a dent in plaster board if you really, really threw one hard enough...

The speaker is not very loud. It is small. ( I am used to a LOUD speaker at work, so I might expect too much. )

It is more of a loud whine. People on all sides of my cubicle could hear it, even the ones that sit diagonal. Fan only worked for 2 hours. Might want t try something different.

pretty loud. It is crushing ice so that has to be taken into account. I'd say normal conversation can't be heard over it if you are running it in the kitchen around an island or something.

I'm using it at work at the moment -if you have your own office and can close the door, it's fine (or even if you can't close the door, probably fine). If in a cubicle setting, your immediate neighbors will likely hear it and want to know what cool new gadget you have. But it's not a bothersome sound - just a low rumbling.
