How loud is this? I want to use it in my office without it being too distracting.

It would likely be noticed in an office unless you're far away with the door closed. It's not whisper quiet... I do not consider it too loud, but I use it at home where it's not a bother.

It makes about the same amout of noise as my microwave makes. Since you wouldn't be using it for an extended period of time, unless your office is very small and very quiet, it probably wouldn't bother anyone.

I find it remarkably quiet. In an office setting I am sure others would hear it, but only faintly.

It isn't that loud on the lowest setting. It is actually easy to hear anything going on in the room. It is about as noisy as a light rainstorm.

Not really, I have it at my desk and it gives off a light pishhh noise but I doubt others would hear it.

it is fairly loud. We use it in a server room with the door closed. I would say it is like a loudish window unit. which i find too much for normal conversation. The other thing to consider is it throws off lots of heat. Of course you have to vent it but in close quarters you can feel the heat from the pipe if you are not on the cool side.

It's not whisper quiet. I have it in my living room and am able to hear it in my bedroom with the door open (not a huge house). We run it off and on throughout the day and continuously through the night. It doesn't make an annoying noise but it would say it is as loud as a box fan.

How quiet is this treadmill? I want to use it in an open plan office I share with 3 other people.

It's loud enough that I wouldn't put it in an open space where people are working. With the door shut on our server closet, I can still hear it a little bit (I sit about 20' from it) because of the vent duct between the office and the closet.

I have it in an office waiting area setting. It does not seem to make much noise, its actually pretty quiet. Hope it helps

It makes a little bit of noise. Nothing overly obnoxious, which is a great thing, as I work in an office environment.

It's no louder or quieter than any other PC workstation. I only really notice the sound when I log into the unit, reboot it, or access files on it.

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

About average PC noise. Definitely not quiet. It is best to put it in a remote place where you won't hear it. It's quiet enough for an office but not for a media/TV room.

It's the quietest model I've found, although you can still hear a slight buzz from it. I don't find it annoying but there is some noise. We have it in our office and it doesn't disturb me while working.

How close are your coworkers? What is the background noise like in the office? This is not a quiet keyboard, but if you have a reasonable level of white noise, or reasonably sized cubes, it won't be an issue.I love this keyboard and would make my coworkers deal even if I sat right next to one.

It is not too noisy. On the other hand I used it in a kitchen where the noise level is higher then in an office. Good luck.

It's not noisy but not perfectly quiet. Just a low humming sound. I have used it in my bedroom and it did not keep my awake but some people are more sensitive to sounds than others.

Not loud. You have to be within a few feet to hear it. If you install it on a different floor or in a location you don't frequent you probably will not hear it. Look elsewhere.
