Is it more quiet than others?

I would say a medium level of sound. I've had quieter and louder than this.

I had a Conair and another model Revlon. This Revlon Rdvdr 5029 is a lot quieter than those two.

I can't hear it running in the house with the windows closed. I have no problem carrying on a conversation, without screaming, standing right next to it when it is running . It is quieter than my lawn mower, pressure washer and snow blower. It's quieter then I expected it to be.

I have it in an office waiting area setting. It does not seem to make much noise, its actually pretty quiet. Hope it helps

I think that it is very quiet. I only use it to backup my system and it is not on all of the time. I have not noticed any noise.

No, it's absolutely quiet. It is surprisingly thin and consists of two layers -- cotton on the top and soft plastic on the bottom.

I would say the noise level is about the same as others. Maybe just ever so slightly quieter. I bought it because it is very light in weight.

Yes. Very quiet. I love mine. I have had it for about 5 months now and so far it has been worth the money I paid.

It's not too loud. Certainly much quieter than some of the larger HP units in our neighborhood.

It's the quietest model I've found, although you can still hear a slight buzz from it. I don't find it annoying but there is some noise. We have it in our office and it doesn't disturb me while working.

I don't think it is very quiet, making a sort of chugging/humming sound. I'm noise sensitive, so it would bother me if someone was near me while they were using it. If you were in another room, I don't think it could be heard, however.

Actually, no. It's quiet silent. I was surprised to hear it. I thought it would be way more noisy.

Yes it is quiet compared to other models I have had in the past. Works real well too!

It is a little louder than most other laptops I've dealt with, but it's not something many people would notice. It seems the more you use it the quieter it gets.

It's fairly quiet. It will not drown out normal conversation, but it's not silent.

I find it remarkably quiet. In an office setting I am sure others would hear it, but only faintly.

I'll add to the others who commented on the quietness of the keyboard. It's the only keyboard I've used that is at least as quiet as my Dell laptop's keyboard. Others have frequently commented on the sound of my typing on other keyboards (like the Logitech MK520, which is much louder), but I haven't heard anything at all with this one.

Considering its power, yes it is quiet. I live in an apt. and use it very early in the morning and some late nights --- and no one has ever complained.
