How quiet or silent is it when idling or just browsing the web? Thanks

Extremely quiet. And if you're going to use it for gaming like I am then you should get a cooling pad for it.

It is pretty quiet when just doing basic tasks(surfing the web basic games). The fans will kick on when under heavy gaming and evet then it's not loud at all. Overall the MSI is one of the best laptops I have owned. Hope this helps.....

Completely silent when set to not oscillate. If it is oscillating it has a quiet hum.

I don't think it is very quiet, making a sort of chugging/humming sound. I'm noise sensitive, so it would bother me if someone was near me while they were using it. If you were in another room, I don't think it could be heard, however.

Agree- not totally silent but relatively quiet as mice go. You can't beat it for the price.

I would call it pretty quiet. There is a little sound as the rubber/silicon key membrane slips in and out of the plastic case but nothing like a keypad that was specifically designed to make a sound. That said, if you need absolute silence, this may not be the best product for your use case.

The drive is very quiet. I haven't had any issues with noise from my drive.

The clicking is silent. The scrolling makes a little noise, probably similar to typing on a non-clicking keyboard.

it's not totally silent. there is a slight click sound when you push the buttons.

No noise or hum - I forget it's even there unless it's doing it's self test (about 5 seconds) then it's quiet again. South Florida.. we have lots of power interruptions and it's been a blessing.. I know it has saved my computer time and again.

It's moderate in noise. Probably less than MS kb but not by much. Edit: After sitting down and using it I would say it's just a tad quieter than the MS keyboards, not as loud as the old (and well loved by me) IBM keyboards from the early 90's. It certainly would be annoying still in a library if you're a quick typist, say 60+ wpm. Also, I can confirm I have to move it between USB ports when it goes missing, about 2x a month as other people have mentioned in reviews.

The clicking isn't silent, but after testing against an old Dell RP962 / PY777 and a new E-3lue Cobra this Amazon Basic mouse clicks more muted than both. As others have said scrolling quickly produces a slightly more noticeable sound, but scrolling slowly is stealth compared to the ambient noise I normally hear in my office.

relatively quiet. it come on so infrequently that i do not notice it. and where i have it installed minimizes the sound.

It is quiet. Don't buy if you plan on using it on surfaces other than a table or desk.

It isn't noiseless, but the scrolling is a lot quieter than the Logitech M110 that I have. I would say about half as quiet. The clicks are not loud, I would say equal with the before mentioned Logitech.

I think that it is very quiet. I only use it to backup my system and it is not on all of the time. I have not noticed any noise.

Is quiet enough. I usually used it while I watch TV and there is no problem at all.

It DOSE make a little noise. You can feel it click as it scrolls, and it makes a FAINT sound, like a baseball card on a bike wheel. That being said, slow scrollign is barely audible.
