When you pan/tilt does the motor make audible noise? Enough to alert those in the room to its presence?

It does make some clicking sound but it's not that noticeable to me. If it is loud enough for you and it is bothersome you should really try to get a replacement as it may be defective and will soon fail.

No, the motors are nearly silent. You can actually control the speed at which pan/tilt operations occur, and the even the faster speeds have only the faintest whir, the slower speeds are undetectable.

The Hoo Too makes very little if any noise when panning and tilting. Of course, if the camera is mounted in clear view of the people in the room, they could see the camera panning. I have Hoo Too model 207 which is very similar to the 210, so that I believe that my comments would apply also to the 210.

It makes a slight noise... maybe if there was no TV/radio on and no one talking and you were sitting close to the camera you'd hear it.I've tried to get peoples attention in the past by moving panning the cam left and right- but they never notice it- so I guess it's pretty silent.

I use it in my garage. If I stop and focus on it, I can hear the fan, but 99% of the time I don't notice it. If you put it in a living space, the noise might be noticeable but it seems awful bright for a living space.

It makes a whirring noise, yes. It is not, in my opinion, as loud as a large fan and other, louder noises, like a TV can drown it out some. If you are using it with no other noise happening, like if you're in bed or at a play or movie theatre, it would sound like "white noise" and could probably annoy the people around you. As an aside, moving the base back and forth causes a pretty loud "ratcheting" sound as well. That one's unavoidable and loud.

Ours is in an office laboratory with other noises as well so I can't really say if it's noisy. The only time I really hear it is when I open the door. Hopefully this helps with your decision.

I haven't noticed the motor being loud at all. We use it in our church nursery, but we have been very happy with it.

No sound, just intermittent motion. As I also discovered, make sure it's clear of any weeds or the furry end can get tangled up and stop moving. it's not a powerful motor inside, doesn't really need to be, to save on battery life.

You can hear the motors running but it's not too loud I often used it when watching TV and the noise didn't interfere I was also able to fall asleep with it on

Mine is noisier than I would expect at times, but nothing that has caused me too much alarm. I thought I heard it click a few times, but so far nothing reproducible or any overheating.

It is about as "loud" as my desktop computer. All you hear is a slight "breeze" coming from the motor's fan. It isn't bothersome at all.

For me, it is just a normal sound of a running motor. I guess it just depends upon your sensitivity to sound.

quiet enough, but it is a FAN, if you can not expect total silence. The motor needs to turn:)

The sound of the motor is not loud or annoying...not in my estimation. It's performance outweighs the sound it makes. It's well worth the money.

only if you're in the fast mode, you'll hear some noises from the motor. I'm using off camera audio so it doesn't bother me much.

Yes, although it is not very loud. If you are in another room you should consider taking the timer with you because otherwise you may not notice it right away.

It is not real loud but is not quite. Our bedroom is right off the kitchen and we do not hear it. I will tell you it works great.

No, it doesn't make much noise. The unit is heavy enough to minimize vibration to the floor. My wife easily watches TV in the same room when I'm using it.

It is not a silent focus motor. It makes a moderate degree of noise. Unless you're in an very quiet space, it probably won't stand out that much.
