It's not as loud as some i have heard (thinking of my dad's old shopsmith back in the day...that thing could wake up a dead stick). but its noticeable. I have it in my 2 car garage...i can turn it on, shut the door to the garage (it's a typical cheap thin interior door), walk to my bedroom on the opposite end of the house, and shut that door..and i can barely hear it (i could probably sleep with that level). my house has 50 yr old insulation in it's walls. it's reminiscent of a loud vacuum cleaner...no real tinny or metalic noise. hope that helps.

It's a table saw so don't think you'll get away with using it at the library. But, as table saws go. It's much quieter than the old delta 10" contractor saws.

It's quiet. Be aware the fence sucks and only small pieces of word cut well.

It's pretty loud. I'd compare the sound level to a vaccuum cleaner or a dust buster maybe.

Yes, I find it fairly loud. On my machine, anyway, which is older and ready to be replaced because it leaks.

Not loud at all. It's quieter than every regular stapler I've ever used. If you are comparing it to the big staplers that can handle 50+ pages, this is nowhere near that level of sound.

I don't think it's loud at all! It has a slight hum when the motor kicks on.

To be honest it's not really quiet but not annoyingly loud either. I have 3 of them in a rack mount in my 12 x 15 ft. living space and don't really notice them unless it's really quiet. Hope that helps! You'll love the power. The 4000 isn't much more cost wise if need a little xtra zing! I have 4 - 12" into 4 ohm drivers and that's what i use.

I can't tell you in decibels, but my experience is that it is typical for a cordless vac. Quieter than a shop vac. Would buy this again in a heartbeat, the only thing I wish it had was a constant "on" switch in addition to the trigger switch.

At low-medium it's almost silent. High is not too disruptive, turbo is loud enough it will interfere a bit.

Its not overly loud, direction of exaust matters. I've used with a circular saw, no issues.

It's quite loud. If you are looking for a quiet model this may not be for you.

Its fairly loud. But no real loud. If the individual is very hard of hearing I would not recommend it.

The noise level is moderate and what would be expected for what the machine does. The noise has not been an issue for me.

It is not loud at all. I use mine in the basement while my family is asleep. I use it to cut brass and it is about as loud as a box fan on high power. You should be fine.

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.

It's not as loud as the older models. Depends on how sensitive your neighbors are. I hardly notice it and it is right outside a window, but the window is closed.

I don't have a decibel meter, but it is substantially quieter than my former compressor. It's not magically quiet, so don't expect...magic. I've had no problem talking to others over it indoors without raising my voice.

Its about as loud a medium box frame fan. although this varies alot on how you have the exhaust set up.
