Hello... I was just wondering about how much more or less noisier this 8220 model is compared to some of the other models... Thanks !

I don't notice a marked difference in noise at all compared with other versions I've used. Normally the tool you're using in the Dremel make more noise than the Dremel itself, i.e. when grinding, cutting, sawing, etc. This Dremel is a very well designed and engineered machine. Extremely handy, versatile and at times irreplaceable for certain tasks.

The noise level is negligible.I had a 9.6 volt and I thought it was sweet until I got the 8220 it is super smooth and rotate 5000 RPMs Faster than my previous model and might even have less operational noise. I really love it.

I have four dremil rotary tools. The 8220 is the quitest yet. And is quite handy.I,m an avid modelrailroader and i use it a lot. mark blake

My only comparison is the wired Model 395 Dremel I have had for years. Would rate them pretty close, quieter at low speeds and noisier at higher speeds. The 8220 might be a little louder at the highest speeds.

Unfortunately, I have never owned one before to compare to. However, based on ones I've heard on TV, I would say at full speed its about the same. Te variable speed switch cuts down on noise dramatically at lower speeds.

Jeff, I live in a mid size college area in a townhouse style apartment with two other townhouse units directly attached and houses on both sides of the complex. The noise level was a chief concern of mine as well. I can say that the .22 cal model of this gun is slightly quieter than the .177 that my roommate has. So far, I have not gotten any complaints. However, if you dry fire the gun, it is loud enough to warrant a complaint, but loaded with a pellet, it seems to be a "suburb friendly" toy in regards to the noise level.

We had an older unit (maybe 10-15 years) it was quite loud. This one is comparably quieter. It is not silent though; it does make noise. I am very happy w our unit... bought another for a different room. I give it (both Friedriches actually) 5 stars.

Its not a consideration. It's not as loud as my himidifier, not as loud as the air circulating through my ductwork, not as loud as the AC. I might put it on par with, I dont know what. I actually didn't notice the noise so I can't recall. I guess it can't be that loud.

To be honest its a little on the noisier side. If u put it in an enclosed space or box it does eliminate some of the noise.

I don't know to what $60 model you refer? If it is those computer fans, they make way too much noise for a bedroom, and don't move that much air. I returned the one I tried. This is a squirrel cage, and relatively quiet. I like it.

It is quieter than my last treadmill (when I don't have my iPod plugged in to use the built in speakers and play my music loud). We have the treadmill in a bedroom which is near two other bedrooms and shut the door and it doesn't bother anyone. I will say we are a family that sleeps with fans running so maybe that is an added buffer to the treadmill sound. I do not think it is noisy. The only issue is a bad design where the cover is located at your feet - you step on it occassionally. We fixed this problem by adding a 1-1/4" wood dowelling that fits into the handles perfectly and hold onto the dowel instead of the built-in handle bars. I can send you a pic if interested if you give an email address. It is quieter than my last treadmill (when I don't have my iPod plugged in to use the built in speakers and play my music loud).

I think it is definitely quieter than other models. I have had 2 other machines and this one is decidedly quieter, not silent but more of a medium soft buzz.

Well, I think quiet is relative. It's a lot less noisy than some blow dryers I've owned, but it still makes noise...more like an air blowing "hum" than a loud gushing air sound. Hope that makes sense!

I have been using my Tassimo for over 3 months and honestly, have not noticed any abnormally loudness in its operation... I did read several reviews that referred to it being noisy, but mine is NOT. I suggest contacting Tassimo with your concerns.

Mine makes the same sound. It doesn't seem to affect performance. Love this machine!

For what it's worth, I just got the 605 model and there is no buzzing on mine. I think, like most issues with items, it effects a small minority. But of course when you spend $1,000+ if there is an issue you tend to be very vocal about it, which I understand.

Interesting. We have yet to install ours. From the demo I have used and tested it was very quiet. You might have a defective one. I wouldn't have even thought about purchasing it if was noisy

Not sure about the other models in requested comparison. My observations:- extremely effective. Moves huge volume of air.- Can be somewhat noisy. Low frequency buzz & "whoosh" of air- weak point is the angle adjustment which is governed by friction from a couple of washers and rubber grommets. Need to keep tight all the time. Suggest replacing with better/ larger fasteners

Sadly, yes. The v1.0 model that I have is whisper quiet, but my v2.0 unit has a loud whine, so much so that I can hum the precise pitch. <sigh>

The quiet edition fans are still a bit too loud for my tastes. It really is about silence or more air ventilation. Which the AF does better IMO.

I prefer Vornado over all other brands. They are made in my hometown in KS; the company's been in business since at least the 50s. This unit is noisy on high (it rattles), very disappointing, but I like the features and generally keep it on low which is quiet. I would heartily recommend the smaller Vornado unit. About 12 inches tall and whisper quiet. I use it in my large BR to supplement my furnace. I'm not finding a model number, but could be 3157428. TYPE SRTH 120VAC-900W-60Hz. I use on the floor or set on a table. I expect the output is higher for the ATH1 Tower. It's much smaller than other towers available and I liked that feature. I wouldn't buy it again, I'd buy one or two of the smaller heaters like I also have. Good Luck!
