Is this sander loud?

While it's not excessively loud, it does make a little humming sound. In fact, because it vibrates so rapidly, you may not think that it's working until you start sanding something, then watch the sawdust fly!

Yes. It is pretty loud. I drive a heavy machine at work and can hear it over the engine when not accelerating.

It is quieter than a lot of shredders I have used. The noise level does vary with what is being shredded.

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

Not really! It's plastic and the hopper acts as a resonator. I push it down the curb in the street after I mow. It does a great job, but yes, it is loud. You might try adjusting the height to see if that makes a difference. I noticed that the bottom was dragging a little when I had it set too high

No really quiet or loud.... If you want power it makes noise, but less than a vacuum cleaner !!!

ok you got two possibility's hear # 1 you got a bad motor and yes iv heard of this happening because the sander's are not made in the USA \ # 2 you have got the adjustment tension for the belt wayyyy to tight with the sanding belt on so it put's wicked strain on the motor # 3 you may want to try a heaver belt grit

No, it is not loud. My only complaint is that it is somewhat hard to align where you want the staples to go. My secretary routinely staples too far over on the page.

Fairly noisy. I would not recommend this machine. Mine is 4 months old and going back to the shop for the 3rd time.

Yes, this is a pretty good sander. It is built fairly good runs with no vibration. If you buy one make sure you take the belt drive cover off and check it to make sure the belt is tight . I had to tighten mine. The table for the disc sander is useless because you can't square it with the disc. I hardly ever use this I do use the belt and it does a good job. I put a vacuum hose on it and it works very good removing dust. I would buy this again but it would be the 6x48 model. Steve Bailey

No. mine is not loud at all. The suction is very strong so you have to be careful when vacuuming.

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

It did not when I ordered. Guessing it still does not. But it has been a good sander. Tracks nice and plenty of power.

I do not find the saw noisy as it is only a fractional HP. The motor appear to be brushless since there are no brush caps visible and there are no brushes listed in the parts breakdown. It has performed well for me as long as it is not forced into the material being cut., in my case exclusively brass cartridge cases.

It's not terribly loud. My shop vac is noisier. Most all of the tools it would be used with are going to be noisier. Good hearing protection should be used regardless of what dust collector is used I have owned mine for two years now and it is performing very well. Much less dust than my previous unit which is why I upgraded. It handles a couple tools at the same time very well. I recommend it. Might cost a bit more than others but worth it.

Yes, it is fairly quiet....my problem with this dryer is that it literally fell apart in less than a year...the plastic cracked around the nozzle and became dangerous to use...I buy Solano hair dryers..they are the only dryer that I know of that will be repaired by the manufacturer for life. I was very disappointed in the TOOLS hair dryer.

It looks the same as the one I have. I dont' think it is any louder than a hair dryer. Be sure to line up the tool with the base or it will come flying off. Took me a while to figure that out.
