How loud is this massager? Could I use it under my desk at work without others noticing?

It is hardly noticeable. very quiet. If you have it set to the deepest massage you will hear the motor a little and the air , both are low noise.

It does make a little noise. But I use it while watching TV & don't have to turn the TV up. Others may or may not hear it. I don't think it would be bothersome if they did. It automatically runs for 15 minutes but you can turn it off at anytime.

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.

I wouldn't say its the loudest mouse but its not silent either. It's less noisy than the cheap Logitech one I have but its a slight bit louder than my standard Ibuypower mouse that came with my computer. On a scale of one to ten it would be a solid 6/10.

I use it at work twice a day. It makes a thumping noise which I can hear, but I just had a co-worker step outside my cubicle & she couldn't hear it. I've talked to people on the phone a few times while it's been on & haven't heard any comments. Other than the thumping it's really very quiet.

It wont disturb anyone it isnt loud per se but it does make a buzzing sound pretty much what you would expect....will people notice...yes but not because of the noise

Yes, it's quite audible. While I love the mouse, I work late at night sometimes and I worry that it may wake my wife. Probably the loudest mouse I've ever owned.

It is quiet. Just a quiet low hum so you could have it under your desk and would probably hardly hear it.

It isnt extremely noisy but after a lot of use it starts to get louder. I wouldn't use it at the office because it gives off a whirling sound that some people find annoying. I like to use it at home when I'm watching tv where the only people around who I can bother are my roommates. Try it out though and see if anyone has a problem with it.

It's super loud. My office building has a Nursing Mothers Room that has three chairs with curtains around them and I've been in there when it's full and my pump is by far the loudest one. I don't mind since we're in a separate room, but if you were planning on doing it in an area where there's no sealed doors or full walls, I'm guessing people will be able to hear it. ...I've tried burying the pump in the bottom of the bag and covering it with my coat and it's still loud...

I would not use it under a desk as heat rises and may cause some concerns. It is quiet indeed. I use mine along a wall and it does a terrific job.

Not loud at all. Use it in the office, just don't let them catch you smiling! My wife has foot surgery and uses it every day. I love it because I don't need to do the foot rubs! This machine is the best thing out there for foot relief. V

It's not very loud at all but is quite soothing. I have to keep it near my head to drown out external noises so I'd say it probably won't do the trick.

It's not completely silent, but I don't believe it's loud. It doesn't squeeze pretty tight, so you do have to get used to that!

Hmmm, well I guess it depends how thick the carpet is. When I use it on the hardwood floor, it is quieter. I think it would be a bit loud for an office. The motor works harder when the carpet is thicker

I guess it depends on how quiet your office is. I just asked my coworker who is about 15 feet away and she said that she could barely hear it.

I do not use it in an office setting and think it would be distracting to others around, but I have used it at times when I had a few minutes to spare before going out on a date dressed in tie and jacket. I just took it easy. Hope this helps. It is a nice sturdy device and a big help in my weight control program (I know exactly where my weight is at all times. Am 72 now and currently a 230 pound tubbo with a well nurtured beer belly type tummy.) John

I would say 'yes' to both questions. But, know that although it has snaps to hold it on, it will not stay put if you make extensive movements, like bending and reaching for things. Otherwise, it should.stay in place. Also, depending where your office is the massager is louder on higher settings,which may bother co-workers, if you have them. On the mid to lower settings it is not too loud. And, the cord is 7 feet so it's adequate for general moving around.

About as loud as a soft clap of the hands. Yes, it can be silenced if you find it offensive, but doubt it's necessary
