How loud is this vacuum?

It is quieter than my normal floor vacuum and quite a bit quieter than a shop vac. The cats run away of course but that's not a surprise!

its as loud as most commercial vacuums - it hits right in the range of the hearing damage i have so i do wear ear plugs with plungers(better than the squish ones) and ear muffs. then its ok for me. it has the power equal to a commercial back pack. we were janitors for 12 years.my experience is start protecting your hearing as often as possible. damage is a cumulative thing don't let it even start.

I can't say what the decibels is but can say that it is loud. I wear ear plugs and it seems to take care of the problem for me. I feel that the suction and cleaning power of this vacuumdefinitely off set the negative sound.

It's pretty loud. I'd compare the sound level to a vaccuum cleaner or a dust buster maybe.

No. This vacuum cleaner is fairly quiet. I've had other hoovers, Eureka's, etc. This one is quietest of all. No vacuum is quiet so to say-but this was is pleasant to operate. Works great. I bought one for Mom also.

This vacuum is around 80 db. With the roller not moving 75db. If you want a great vacuum that is around 65 db it gonna cost with some reduction. Electrolux ultra silencer is a good low level noise at about 63. It's a cannister. For an upright, check out the Hoover wind tunnel S3670. It was quite but I didn't feel the umph! I wish I could tell you more but I am limited to my shopping experiences and research I did. Wish I could test them all. Hope that helps! Dennis

The owners manual does not list a noise level. About the best I could say is that it's about the same noise level as a typical shop vac. It is far and away, much quieter than my friend's DeWalt of similar capacity, and it's possible to carry on a conversation in close proximity to the compressor while it's running. Hope this helps.

I don't find it to be any louder than my shop vac. My dog is even ok with it when used for drying.

It's about as loud as a vacuum. But being on the countertop puts it closer to your ears and kitchens are mostly hard surfaces. I find it uncomfortably loud so I keep a pair of inexpensive ear muffs in the cabinet over my Versa. Otherwise I am very happy with its performance as a smoothie maker.

This vacuum is made of plastic so yes, it is a loud machine. In general, vacuum research has shown that the use of plastic body casings creates new noise problems, since the lightweight plastic vibrates more noisily than the older metal casings.

Not louder at all. Of course you won't use a vacuum while somebody is sleeping. ;)

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 sounds like a normal vacuum to me, it is not what I would call a quiet machine.

No, I have not experienced a noisy vacuum. Vacuum on the soldering iron is basically silent. I used the vacuum parts picker in the past, and my recollection is that it was louder than the vacuum on the iron, but not by much.Make certain that you have removed the red screw from the bottom of the unit. It makes all kinds of odd (and wrong!) sounds unless that is removed.

Hi Jeff The voice is loud. As per the manufacturer, it is set at the same level as the beeps (85db). It is part of the audible warning system. As a comparison, a typical household vacuum cleaner emits 70db. Hope this helps. Regards Mark

It's normal, for a smaller vac. It's certainly not loud like a Kirby or anything

Not quiet for sure but probably no noisier than other vacuum cleaners I've had other past 20 years. I definitely would not use it late at night or early morning so as not to disturb apartment neighbors.
