It is no bad, but I only run it for a few seconds each time, anyway. At those short time periods, it isn't a problem for me.

it is noisy, yes. you will have little more little less that kind of noise with all high speed (rpm) machine.

It's not as noisy as other blenders I've had, for example, I can talk on the phone 5 ft away and hear fine

I had an Oster blender that lasted a few years (only 2 because it was dropped and broken) but it made smoothies like a dream. Also, blended up flax seeds/dry rice/oats/etc. to make various flours within a minute. I got a Ninja Professional BL500 and was sorely disappointed as, like the other reviewer said, the smoothies were chunky and gross. Also, with the 6-blade thing its hard to fit anything in it to blend! My husband is currently returning it and I am looking for another lower-than-Blendtec or VitaMix-priced blender. Tempted to try Kitchenaid or Oster this time...hmm...

What's the rubber issue? I have owned my blender for a number of months, use it almost daily and have no issues. I'm extremely happy.

Honestly, it's pretty loud. But I don't have anything else to compare it to, I bought this after spending 5 years without a blender.

It is noisy. I have to turn it as low as I can to sleep but I still love it. It works well.

You can tell the rotisserie is turning but it is not noisy. If your's is overly loud I would consider returning it for a replacement. I love my rotisserie and how quick clean up is.

The machine is not that loud when turned on, its soft. But crushing ice makes half the sound as your blender when you blend fruits.

Definitely less quiet than a blender. You can have a conversation while the unit is one - but may need to raise your voice just a little.

I think it's too noisy for an open office environment. It makes a whirring sound that gets louder as you get it up to speed, and it makes clicking sounds as it slips into and out of smooth rotation.

All blenders are loud, so is the Blendtec. This one does the job in half the time though.

I've not had that experience either. I do know that the instructions said not to run the blender continuously for more than 5 minutes (I think). Maybe you're running it for too long?

It's just the normal blender. The noise made by it as I use it has never bothered me as it does its job so quickly. A great blender!

I love mine. As far as noise goes, it does make some noise but it does not bother me. And I guess it depends on what you are using it for. I have only used mine for smoothies with frozen fruit do it is going to make noise grinding frozen fruit. Hope this helps. It is the only one I have used. But Blendtec really stands behind their products.

Mine does the same thing, makes a loud clicking noise when mixing bread or thick cookie dough. Kitchenaid's response was: "The clicking noise is normal, especially under a heavy load." so it is a known problem. Personally, I would call this a design defect. No other motorized appliance I have ever used made noises unless it was broken. I may opt for a smaller model or a different brand.

Mine has noise which I think its due to the fact that the mixer requires 120v power outlet and where am from one can only have 110v or 220v. I believe thats what causing the noise, again its my conclusion...no promises

Yes it is pretty loud. not as loud as crushing ice in a blender but far from quiet. To work properly you need about a tray of ice. It's a pretty situational appliance but it does come in very handy when unexpected guests stop by and you have no chilled ice. how well it works 8/10, how practical it is 5/10. very cool item over though.

It makes the normal blender sounds. It would depend on what you are blending. Adding crunch veggies would make it sound louder.Really you are only blending for no more than a minute right? It is portable I suggest when using it in an open work environment take it to the break room to blend if you think people will complain.
