Could someone tell me how loud the boiling is? And does this unit whistle? Thanks!

You definitely hear the water work up to a boil. There's no whistle. The unit shuts itself off automatocally with a loud click after the water reaches a boil.

The boiling is not loud at all and it does not whistle. We are VERY happy with the unit.

The sound from the boiling kettle is not very loud. You can hear it from another room but it is not annoying. There is no whistle but you can hear the kettle click off when the water has reached a boil. Hope this info helps!

It's considerably quieter than any other Electric Kettle that I've used. I bought this after coming from a Hamilton Beach Kettle which was supposed to be the quietest, but couldn't compare. This unit does not whistle.

The boiling is audible, but it is literally the sound of water boiling, the unit itself is almost silent. The unit does not whistle. There is an LED light that is illuminated a purple color when the unit is working, and it turns off when the water is at boiling point.

Does not whistle, just a click when it turns off automatically. You can hear it boiling but it is not very loud and that lasts for only about 15 sec.

Our current one did not whistle loudly at first. However, after a few weeks it became much louder and now will drive you out of the house. We buy a new one every couple of years because our hard water eventually silts them up and they are hard to decalcify.

I just bought the same one, and it doesn't whistle either, after two tries with two water levels, with water at full rolling boil. Will exchange to see whether another one works better.

I can't tell you how many decibels, but is no louder than water boiling on the stove. I am very pleased with mine.

No it's pretty quiet - doesn't whistle or anything like that. It's definitely quieter than my last kettle and boils quicker, too.

The short scientific answer is around 45 dB I think. When it gets closer to boiling point, the noise is normal and doesnt last long. All electrical boilers have inherent noise inside, it is a trade off though, the more quiet an electrical boilers is, the slowest it would be. I personally compared it with one other brand, it is a little bit louder but functionality, ease of use, lightness and the kettle geometry itself worth.

It does not whistle, it turns off automatically and you can hear the click when it's done. It's not too loud but you can definitely hear it. Boiling is not too loud either. This tea pot is perfect! We use it everyday. Would highly recommend.

It is not noisy in itself but the water does make boiling sounds after a while. Keeping the lid on, its pretty quiet.

It beeps when you plug it in / turn it on, and when you're flipping through to get to the temperature you want. It also beeps when it reaches that temperature. The beeps are not loud & obnoxious, though...they're very quiet. The only other sound you'll hear is the sound of the water beginning to boil.

I don't think you can change the whistle. It is just not very loud, but loud enough to know it's boiling.

It is pretty noisy. I have returned a second one- stopped brewing all together.

Loud is relative, but it does make a noise not unlike a non whistling teapot. However, it soon shuts off. Love this kettle for its looks and function; it boils really quickly.

The pots definitely whistle. I've never boiled water in the pans, but since the pans have the identical lid handle I imagine that they would if you were boiling water in them.

Not really .. there is a little noise when it first starts to heat but it gets quieter and quieter as it comes to the boil.. nice Kettle..

If you are standing right at the unit when you turn the power on it starts a raspy noise. That is the heater heating up the water. Kind of like when you boil water, it's the water bubbles. Then when you press the button to start the brew process there is a whiring sound that is not loud at all. If you step away from the machine you can barely hear it. When I step back about 8 feet I hardly hear it at all. From the time you turn the power on until you can sip the coffee it's a little less than 3 minutes. I feel that the coffee is just right temperature wise. I'm glad i bought mine. It is so easy to use and there is no mess.

hello Vanda,it is very quiet. But does beep once boiled. it has a useful keep warm function and heats water to 4 different temperatures. I have not read the instructions so have no idea if the beeps can be disactivated

It is quite loud, especially as it boils and goes into second stage whistle. I live in a condo, and I always rush to the stove because I am worried neighbors will think it is a fire alarm when it whistles. I suspect the whistle is about as loud as you will find on a tea kettle.
