What's the noise level? The comparable Makita advertises that it's quiet but I see no mention of this in the product description or in the comments.

I'm using both saws on this addition today. They both have the same noise. I have f-18 jets fly over all the time. Noise doesn't bother me far as these saws I have. This is a easy handling saw. I would buy another one but I already have 3 other ones

The Dewalt DWE575SB is very smooth and quiet. I think that the blade you use and the material that you are cutting plays a part in the noise level you experience. I have a 40 tooth carbide tipped Diablo blade and primarily cut softer wood like pine or poplar. This is the quietest circular saw I have ever used. Hope this helps.

Noise level not too bad, but should wear earplugs when using it for extended periods.

The only comparison I can make is to the large, regular size circular saws, which I have always found aggravatingly noisy. The DeWalt 7 1/4 didn't seem loud at all. I love this saw! I can handle it, unlike those regular sized saws.

You cut so fast and clean the noise is unnoticed. I've used it inside my home for floor repair and it didnt bother anyone.

All circular saws make noise, and the difference between one brand over the other...is minimal, at best. What really determines the sound level [while cutting], is the substrate that you're sawing/cutting, and the particular blade that you're using. The cutting surface acts like a diaphragm, and will transmit the noise at different decibels. That said, it's always a good practice to put on a pair of earmuffs [looks like big head phones], or ear plugs [at the least].

Hi, since I don't have either a decibel meter or a Makita to compare it too, I can not answer the question very precisely. I found the noise level very tolerable when working out side and did not feel the need for ear protection like I do with my chain saw. I really appreciate the fact it is definately lighter than the Makita and since I was doing a lot of precise notch cutting on posts for a post and beam building. And the Dewalt left hand handle worked much better (fit my hand better for control) than the Makita. Note that I have several Makita tools that I really like.

In the times I have used it noise seems the same as any other skill saw I have used. No louder than my table saw

This saw has met my expectations in every way. I do not feel that the noise level is high. I guess that I never really thought about it. I do not know how you could make a circular saw be really quiet due to the nature of what it does. I do like this saw very much and would recommend it.

It's not noiseless but quieter than the Kenmore upright I had before this. There's less noise when using just the hose with cleaning attachments rather than the full vacuum.

Its not a consideration. It's not as loud as my himidifier, not as loud as the air circulating through my ductwork, not as loud as the AC. I might put it on par with, I dont know what. I actually didn't notice the noise so I can't recall. I guess it can't be that loud.

this saw is quiet but of course depending on type of wood speed of cut and thickness can increase or decrease chatter. it isnt loud enough to hurt anyones ears and the neighbors will never hear a sound. a hegner and an excalibur are a bit quieter but cost twice the price. if your not on a slab or you are in an apt. it will vibrate the floors and the neighbors or people in other areas of the house will notice. being on the 1st floor of an apt with a slab would still work.

Lewis, I read an article about Dyson and his path to designing and marketing his vacuums some time ago that said the company actually increased the noise of the machine for the American market because we perceive loudness to be equivalent to power. In other words, if it were too quiet, Americans would consider it not powerful enough. Having said that, I find the machine no more noisy nor more quiet than comparable vacuums. It's about the same as an Oreck or a Bissel, in my opinion. Hope that helps.

SLS: I don't recall any sound rating for the unit; however, it's quieter than all of my shop vacs. It does produce ambient noise while in use, but if you're using it with machines, the machines are generally going to be louder than the unit. The unit is pulling a lot of air, which in my experience is the source of most of the noise (air flow, not motor noise). I've had mine for almost 7 years now, and I am happy with it.

It is a lot quieter than a shopvac, and about aas loud as a cordless drill. It is not loud at all. No winch can be used for hours on end without stopping, it is not meant for that.

Obviously it it carving into wood, so there is going to be both noise and sawdust. My experience is that the noise is equivalent to running a regular drill, and the sawdust is mostly staying on the piece during the carving and easy to vacuum up when the job is done. I'm very impressed with the noise level, I'd seen youtube videos and expected much worse than what I actually see is normal.

I find mine to be fairly quiet, but it can depend on the size of blade or the type of wood being cut and how thick it is. I have no problem with noise and not to mention if the saw is not bolted down it could be loud also. I never bolt mine down and I find it to be quiet. Not too loud but then I'm a bit deaf too... Thanks Fay

When it's on the lowest setting it makes a low motor sound. On medium and high it is definitely louder. High is almost too noisy for me.

If you ask me I would say that there isn't much compressor noise. However the ice maker and catch tray is quite load I bought mine in January but I'm still getting used to it..... Hope this helps!

Its not bad. Much quieter than the Cuisinart that we bought this to replace. Electric motors are nearly noiseless. The noise comes from the gears that step down the speed of the motor. The big powerful blenders from Blendtech and Vitamix don't have to step down the speed as much. I'm guessing they are quieter. Even still, this isn't offensive..

It is VERY quiet. Obviously the cutting action creates some noise. However, I have been attaching a shop vac to the unit. You will want to do the same in order to limit the sawdust. The vacuum makes the process loud. I hope you don't plan to watch TV or try to carry on a conversation instead of concentrating on your work! The machine is so quiet you can easily forget where the blade is and take off a few fingertips.

I don't know the actual number, but I will say it's the quietest compressor I've ever heard. I use mine in the garage with all the doors closed and can still have a normal conversation or listen to the shop radio. That, honestly, was the main reason I bought it. I had a Craftsman that could shake the dishes off their shelves in the kitchen when running and it would walk across the shop floor to where it could almost unplug itself. The Makita stays put. Most of my shop tools are Makita and I have never been disappointed. My cordless drill/screw gun I bought in 1986 and it still works every day. I think you will be very happy with this compressor.

It's no louder than any other blender. I just use it to make smoothies so I can't comment on nut butter.

None of these answers seemed very clear to me. The noise level is quite impressive. It is very decently quiet on the lowest setting and yet you still get very strong suction out it. On the highest setting, it is about as loud as most any vacuum. (which is still not bad). If I had a decibel reader, I would give you a more detailed and accurate answer.

I don't notice a marked difference in noise at all compared with other versions I've used. Normally the tool you're using in the Dremel make more noise than the Dremel itself, i.e. when grinding, cutting, sawing, etc. This Dremel is a very well designed and engineered machine. Extremely handy, versatile and at times irreplaceable for certain tasks.
