Is it really quiet? I bought a pet fountain with a pump and the noise was intrusive, much like a very noisy aquarium.

I find it to be very quiet except when the reservoir is running low, which is good because it alerts me to refill the reservoir. I have it sitting on a rubber mat and the noise is almost nothing.

It's quiet if you have it on something to catch the vibrating noise on the floor. I have a tile floor. It sits on a small carpet square in the kitchen. The water level must to full or you will hear the fountain. My small dogs and cat took to it right away. Keep in mind the replaceable filters are expensive. I stopped using the filters and it works fine without them. Also, the light no longer works. I bought this in March. Hope this info helps.

It is extremely quiet. I did however buy the pad that goes under the fountain which helps with the noise. It is very quiet you just hear the water running. Very pleased with it.

My cats love it. The pump is not noisy at all. The only noise I hear us the water splashing .

There was some splashing and a bit of a hum, but that didn't seem to bother our cats, and we sleep far removed from the location where we had the fountain. Unfortunately it also died despite the automatic shut off feature, which did work successfully one time. Not sure what killed it but that's the last fountain we are ever buying, despite the fact that our cat adores them.

I do not hear the pump at all. I only hear the very pleasant trickle of water unless the water level gets too low.

Not very noisy at all. We use the pumps for a race car driver's cool suit (circulates coolant through a vest to keep the driver cools in a 150 degree environment) so we don't care about noise. But it is almost impossible to tell if the pump is running without touching it.

I bought this as a gift to my sister. She states that it isn't whisper quiet and that it can be heard in the next room, but it is quieter than the Lactinosh pump she used prior to this one. Hope this helps.

I don't think it is noisy, I do have some aquariums in the house, they are much noisier. If the cat would lick of the side to drink from the top is twelve inches from the floor. Hope that helps.

NO not at all, infact if I could I would have it sent back, you have to turn it on, walk away, far away, shut the door, wait a few minutes and it gets the pressure up, then it will quiet down a little. But fish tank hum, no way. ! Ear plugs needed for sensitive ears and no Talking! Don't want to discourage you, from buying because for the price it does a simple job, but not quiet at all.

The pump is not that loud. Mine is in the garage, so the sound is not an issue for us. It does make a clicking sound every few seconds while it is refilling the tank after you use water and also while it fills the tank. Otherwise, it does not make noise unless it is in use. Hope that helps!

Hello,The pump is not very noisy. It is like a humming sound. I hope this helps. I really like the Leg wraps.

The pump doesn't appear to make any noise, at least I can't hear it over the fan. Than fan is changeable with one quieter as long as it is the same size.

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 ?

Mine does not seem to be any more noisy than the stock pump in my 29g Biocube. Make sure it is not touching the sides of your tank at all causing plastic or glass vibration.

It is no louder than other filters. The main noises are the bubbles and the pump. If your pump is quiet the filter will be quiet. I keep mine in my bedroom and the noise does not bother me.

Mine is super quiet. If you let the water get too low it's a little noisier, like the equivalent of your refrigerator humming, but you shouldn't let it get too low or your motor will burn out. I love this water dish. I have 4 cats and a 45 pound dog.

I have it installed under my desk where I work every day and I do not notice it. it does make some noise however, but not real significant to me. I do have an aquarium that makes some noise also in my office so perhaps that drowns it out

No, I would not purchase this fountain again because it's too loud. I would definitely change to another fountain.

I'm sorry you're having trouble. The first fountaini bought recommended you leave it unplugged for a few days when introducing it into your cat's environment so they can get used to it. Maybe that would help. If it's used it could be that the pump is a bit noisy but the sound has never bothered my cats. I hope it works out.

There is a significant amount of noise during operation, yes--particularly on the higher settings. This is in fact he reason I purchased this model over silent ones. Not only do I have several pets in my house, but I also need white noise in the background while I am sleeping, and this fit the bill for me. If you are looking for quiet operation, you'll probably want to consider another product.

very loud? well, mine is not silent, however it does hum a little (nothing louder than, lets say a refrigerator hum). besides the noise is it pumping water?
