How loud is this hair dryer?

I don't think it's too bad. I've had a lot worse. I am prone to migraines and the high pitch tone some make will hurt me but this one doesn't have that. It's a deeper sound. The black rubber coating is wonderful because you don't have to worry about it sliding around on the counter. Makes it easier to grip too.

I would say that it is just as loud as any other hair dryer that I have had.

I don't think its very loud at all. A quiet whir. I wish I knew what to compare it to. The rinse cycle on a dishwasher? Low setting on a hair dryer?

It's pretty loud. I wouldn't use it when anyone else is sleeping because it would wake them. It's not quite as loud as hair dryer but it's still pretty loud.

Hot Tools HT1074 is one of the finest drying/curling tools I have ever used. It's two steps of hair care rolled into one. On the issue of the dryer being too "loud", relatively speaking, it is no louder than hair salon dryers.

It's pretty quiet compared to other dryers. I mostly got it because of how light weight it is. And I'm sure that with a smaller motor, that helps with the sound.

Yes, it is much quieter than those big professional hair dryers and the air comes out more softly instead of a big blast like those other hair dryers. Both of these qualities are exactly why I love this hair dryer.

I believe it was 2400 watts. It only has three settings, high, medium and low, but it also had temperature settings as well. It was quiet in comparison to most hair dryers.

From the outside, it's very quiet. Inside, it's a tad less than a blow dryer. It depends on the speed.

It's loud. The kids don't mind... And it isn't to horrible once it's fully inflated.... Sounds like a hair dryer on a low setting.

I don't think it's loud at all. I've had it running 24/7 in my bedroom since I got it and it's pretty quiet. It's about the same noise as a window a/c or quieter. Hope that helps!

We use it in an enclosed basement and it is certainly tolerable for the amount of time it is on. Rough comparison I would say it is about as loud as a vacuum cleaner or a noisy hair dryer.

In my tests, the average hair dryer was much louder than 80dBs on High: many were over 100dBs on high when measured 4 inches from the motor. This Centrix was the quietest one I tested, when on the Low setting (78.93 dBs), and the 3rd quietest when on High (88.77 dBs). But it was the weakest one of them all -- only 1500 watts. I tested two other models that were quieter on High, and they were both 1600 watts.

It's not quiet. I used a sound level meter to compare it to a couple other units and it's literally 10-20 times louder. The sound it makes is also particularly annoying.

I really don't find them to be loud. I've tried different types of dryer balls in the past- most the plastic-y type balls and they were much louder.

Actually it is not that loud. The best description is a little louder than a blow dryer and not as loud as a leaf blower. I use it in my house. Hope this helps

I always use my hairdryer on the highest settings and to me it is a tad louder but not much more than on the low setting.

I've tested the noise levels of 9 models of hair dryers so far and this was the quietest one on the High setting (88 dBs) and the third quietest on Low (82.2 dBs). I found a website that said this was a 1600 watt dryer, so it's not as powerful as the 1875 watt-ers that I've tested, but it's certainly quieter. You end up using it longer, though, so I'm not sure it's any better for your hearing.
