One of the reviews said it is noisy, I'm wondering about that. Does it just make noise during the time it is brewing or all the time? Also how noisy i

I don't think it is very noisy at all - you can definitely hear it perking while making coffee, but no noise at all when it is done.

Purchased to make coffee for group at club pancake breakfast fund raiser. Room noisy with conversations but did not notice any undue noise and no comments about it were made. Coffee was good.

It is pretty loud when it is brewing but does not make any noise after that. It takes about an hour to brew 100 cups and then it is quiet. It makes random thud noises while brewing.

You can hear it while brewing, but it is not especially noisy. Nothing unusual.

no noise what so ever when it is done. It sounds like a regular coffee maker then silence

My wife and I have a B60 and I bought a B40 for my mother. The B40 is much noisier than our B60. The pump on the inside of the units are vibrator diaphragm pumps and are going to make noise to some degree. Try making sure that your water reservoir is fully seated in the base and then try removing the reservoir cover while brewing; we found that the vibration of the pump is transmitted to the cover and it sounds like the unit is going to come apart.

Mine isn't that loud, besides it brews the coffee so fast i don't even notice it! I mean that's like asking Why is the microwave so loud..

I think it is somewhat loud, but it is significantly less loud if you hold it in your hands rather than have it sitting on the counter. If you need it really quiet, you can always put a towel around it (I've done this when grinding coffee at night).

Yes it is noisy! So far I've only made cakes & buttercream in it and I had to keep stopping and scraping the bottom and sides as it didn't seem to reach them very well, much more so than other mixers I've tried/owned. Hope this helps!

I find that remove from heat immediately after finished brewing (as soon as you hear gurgling noise) helps. I brew mine on high heat... Don't know if that helps. It could also be the coffee. I use a Phil's

Not noisy at all...when it's cooling water you can hardly tell its on...but when it's drawing water from the bottle below its more noisy then.....but that doesn't take too long.Be wary of the plastic pins that the door pivots on...one broke quickly and makes the door not stable when closed. Walmart carries this exact model, so check price there as well

I can't hear it at all - I would say it is silent. We had ours about 6 months and we just use it on special occasions like when we are drinking on Saturday nights but I imagine it would last at least a few years if you don't leave it on all the time. I think it has auto shut off anyway. Have fun with that cause its pretty trippy! The worst thing was paying the extra duty coming into Canada cause I couldn't find one here...

It is kind of noisy, yes. Not incredibly disruptive, but definitely louder than boiling water on the stove.

Well it does make some sounds, the water as it is heating it up and when it reaches the end of the water makes a hissing sound the sane as water landing on a red hot coil. Nothing that I would call annoying at all but certainly signaling the end of the brewing. The whole process is only about 2 to 3 minutes. I hope this helps. I enjoy my coffee maker 3 or 4 times a day.

I don't think that it is noisy. There is a ticking timer that goes tick-tock tick-tock when I twist the timer to turn it on, and once the water is boiling it's about as loud as a covered pot of boiling water, but that's about it.

Yes. I have had it a little over two months and I use it every day sometimes three times a day and have had no problems with it not working. I followed the manufactor's instruction re: cleaning and have had no problems. It is what it says it is, A ONE CUP BREWER. It you intend to make several cups back-to-back than this coffee brewer is not for you. I love it.

The brewing on this is quiet, however when it is done it lets out about 2-3 burts of steam which is loud.

Mine isn't noisy at all. And mine works awesome and is well worth the price. Just bought mine used do I didn't spend the money a new one would be. Maybe it's clogged ?

yes, it's noisy. Mine started growling at me and I discovered that I needed to oil the bobbin case. I took the plate off, lifted out the black bobbin case, turned it over and oiled the edge where it makes contact with metal (that would be the top of the bobbin case) Oil it lightly and wipe off excess oil. I sew many hours so I have to oil it about once a week. Hope this helps. Also, it's a mechanical machine rather than electronic so it will be a bit noisier.

There is no audio or visual signal to the end of the brewing cycle...at least not in my model. I just wait until I don't hear it brewing anymore, then wait a minute for the last of the water to filter through the grounds.
