Is this vacuum noisy or did I get a bad one? The brush roller goes so fast it appears to scream.

I don't have a problem with my vaccum being too noisy and the brush goes normal

I think you might have received a faulty one. Mine isn't too loud...I would say it is a little quieter than my hairdryer

Mine is very noisy with a high pitched whine. It cleans like a dream though!

Mine is noisy too, a high pitch whirring sound. I wondered if mine was broken as well but it has great suction so I think it's suppose to sound like that :)

I don't think it is louder than my last vacuum but yes, it does have a higher pitched tone when the brush roller is moving.

I just returned a Eureka that was LOUD! This is 10x quieter... Depends on what u consider loud.

It makes noise but not a vacuum sound. The noise is made by the "roller that pics up stuff"

It's very loud. Can't do anything else while its on. But its a great dust collector and very efficient. Just not quiet. Louder than a shop vac.

I wouldn't recommend this vacuum for anyone. It was cheap, and I got what I paid for. The motor runs fine on mine, as well. but the brush will not rotate. I've had this problem with it from the beginning.

Dear Anne,I have yet to find a vacuum cleaner which is quiet. I do not think that this model is any noisier than any other but, of course, you may disagree.I recommend that you do what my wife and I do: use ear plugs while vacuuming. Yes, this can be annoying, but it is better than possibly damaging your hearing. (My wife wears ear plugs when using a blow-dryer too.)Meanwhile, this vacuum cleans like a champ. Don't you agree?I hope this answer helps you.Lawrence H. Bulk

Well it is noisey but I can't tell how noisey her's is. It's not as noisey as my old vacuum but it's definitely not quiet. I wouldn't recommend you buying this vacuum either way. It's not very good and is overpriced.

I love my sprite for the way I can maneuver it around my house. As for the noise, I am not the best one to ask as I am sort of deaf. It bothers my dog when I vacuum, but she's spoiled and resents my doing something that doesn't involve her. She is the reason I got the vac in the first place. Sorry I couldn't be of help.

After moving the purifier several times while vacuuming, mine has also developed a louder whirring noise. It is obvious at all levels. Level one used to be very quiet, an almost unnoticeable hum, but now it sounds like the motor is grinding and working overtime. As it's been less than a year, maybe less than half a year, I am planning on speaking to the manufacturer about it.

Not sure, I returned the vacuum, because it suddenly revved up and thumped when the vacuum was set for low speed and the thumps occurred at about every 10 seconds.. No one could explain the thumps, but its the vacuum shaking the dust from its filters. Very odd behavior for a high end vacuum, Makita generally makes 1st class tools, but this vacuum proved to be an exception to the rule..

I don't feel it's too noisy at all. It's about the same as other vacuums, plus it works better.

Noise is not excessive, vacuum is great for pet hair removal. I have three cats and they don't mind, however I make sure they are not too close when I use it because they don't like it much.

I have had many vacuums in my lifetime. I think the Miele is the quietest one by far. You can hear it kick up a notch when it changes from the sound of the motor using the attachments to the brush roller going into gear = but neither is loud. I love my vacuum.

It is sounds like an average vacuum cleaner. It is hard to create a good vacuum quietly.

No. I don't think it is noisy nor do I think it is noiseless. I didn't really think of the sound it produces until you posted this. It makes a reasonable amount of noise. The brushes are turned by the rotation of the wheels and do make some noise, but nothing I would consider out of the ordinary for its type of mechanism. (It is quieter than my Dyson ...)

It sounds like any other vacuum I have ever had. It does a great job tho, and has very powerful suction. I love it.

Yes, i would say it sounds like a little powerful vacuum so if u are trying to be quiet it won't happen...but the power is amazing of its cleaning & does its job very well...

I don't think it's as loud as a normal full-size vacuum cleaner, but it's not quiet either. I'd say it's noise level is pretty standard for dust busters.
