How quiet or loud is it?

It's actually not bad. Yes, it's vibrating so it generates noise but I've had compressors that are so loud you have to raise your voice to talk while standing next to them. This one, however, is not that loud

Hmm... I would say it's certainly quieter than a full size air compressor or a lawnmower, and I don't feel like I need to wear ear protection with it, but it does make some noise. My wife can hear it in our living room which is adjacent to the garage when I use it there. Hope this answer helps.

The Compressor because of its small size isn't that noisy at all! It works efficiently with little noise.

Not noticeably different than other portable air compressers. Probably slightly louder than a hairdryer

I wouldn't run it near a sleeping baby but I don't find the noise (used outdoors) extreme.

It is a little loud for its size but the level is not bothersome to the ears. It is quieter than gas stations.

The compressor because of its small size doesn't make a lot of noise. The machine is efficient and runs smoothly with little noise.

It is not quiet but not too loud to be disturbing. I have compressor that are way louder. It is about the same sound level as your car engine.

Actually, no. It's quiet silent. I was surprised to hear it. I thought it would be way more noisy.

very quiet. i wear my headphones almost all the time, but no one in my house thinks its loud at all. my wife uses it , but you wouldnt know except shes heavy footed and the cushioned deck absorbs most of the sound.

Yes. Very quiet. I love mine. I have had it for about 5 months now and so far it has been worth the money I paid.

I've found it to be quiet. It's not noisless but the sound is more of a smooth hum than anything halting or harsh. The actual volume of the sound is pretty low.

It is quiet - it makes a swish sound. We use it while watching TV and do not have to turn the sound up.

this is the only unit i have ever had so it is hard for me to say. it is not loud, but you can tell it is on. the higher the setting the louder it is, but it is not annoyingly loud. sorry i could not be more helpful!

Sorry, it's not quiet at all. It's a very nice size and is great when it works, but truthfully, I've had about 6 of these. They break so easily. I've recently switched to a different brand.

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

It is quite average. It is certainly not extra quiet but it also is not annoyingly loud.

It isn't loud at all. There is a slight hum, but not one you really notice. If you ever heard a small fan, the ones you push the button and they blow in your face, it's kind of like that.

It is not completely silent. There is a little noise but it doesn't bother me even when running in bedroom through the night. I am a light sleeper. When it is on in the living room with other ambient noise you don't notice it. We are happy with it.

It is pretty darn quiet, I've never measured, but it isn't noticeable if it is running or not most of the time. I've got one in my shop and I hear a window unit from 2 rooms (masonary walls) over it.

It is very quiet! You can hear it but a white noise, not problematic at all.

it is very quiet. I think it should be quiet enough. I forget it's on it's so quite.

It's not very quiet, but it's not as loud as my window unit. My son uses this New Air portable unit in his room and he said it doesn't really bother him while he's sleeping.

Neither loud nor quiet. It's not as noisy as a Model M or as soft as a laptop keyboard. I think it is appropriate for shared offices (I use it in one).
