Do you notice sound of this running in the kitchen?

We have ours in the bar behind closed doors. It is a soft him. Not too loud.

I don't hear it at all. It's quieter than the fridge & that's barely audible.

I do not own one of these. I own the Wine Enthusiast wine refrigerator & it is very quiet

This is a very high quality, quiet unit but you can hear the fan running at times. We actually have it in our pantry, so, we don't notice it, but I believe if you had it in a small kitchen, you would hear a low hum.

We have ours in the dining room and I only notice the sound when it is really quiet like early morning.

I did not keep mine because of the size. Horizontally it was too wide. Would have preferred it in the opposite direction.

There is a slight hum, intermittently, when it kicks on to maintain temperature. Not much, however.

I don't hear it at all, but I'm sure it makes some small noise like water flowing, but it's not noticeable, unless I get down under the counter.

I forget mine is in the room. It is in our dining room though and not in a really quiet area. I never hear it.

It isn't quiet, but it isn't as loud as my dishwasher. Maybe about the same as a fan above your stove (not one of those Whisper quiet fans).

Somewhat loud. I leave it in the kitchen and close the door. Wouldn't leave it in the room next to where you spend time. Another thing to consider is smell. Which is normal when you dry food. Except the room smell like the food that you dry. Kitchen is the best place in the winter. I run it outside int eh summer. Hope this helps.

I've never heard it make any noise. It's not in our bedroom though it's in a living room controlling a fish tank light.

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.

I can hear it over the televission. Also, if I am upstairs, I can hear it in the kitchen. I have bought several of these throughout the years.

Yes, I love mine! It puts out a lot of sound! It will fill your kitchen very well. You will enjoy it!

It does have a motor, so it does make noise, but, not any louder than any other kitchen appliance. About 16 inches tall. You'll want to store it away in the box somewhere.

There is a small motor inside to move the deadbolt in and out. So that makes some sound. Also It does make a small chirp sound when operating.

You can hear it, but it's not too loud. Nobody should be yelling with it on. We have normal conversations in the kitchen with it running.

it sounds like a coffee maker when running, after a while it became white noise to me. but my co-workers notice it and always ask "what is that?"

It's def louder than a portable generator. If you start it up and don't hear it, you better go check on it. Having said that tho, I don't mean to say that it is distractingly noisy, just that you're going to hear it running.

Yes it does have melody or beep sound when rice start to cook and end of cooking.

Not constantly. When it is running the noise doesn't really bother me - I keep it in the kitchen and it's not much different than a refrigerator/freezer in my opinion.
