is the motor very loud?

not any louder than any other massager I have used. however, I didn't keep this massager as it was too small and didn't help my neck much. I ended up buying a professional massager instead. I bought a Homedics Model PA1100A which is a professional percussion massager that many chiropractors use. The new one gives me a better massage and gets the circulation going to my neck which has been injured in four whiplash injuries. Hope this helps.

only if you're in the fast mode, you'll hear some noises from the motor. I'm using off camera audio so it doesn't bother me much.

The sound of the motor is not loud or annoying...not in my estimation. It's performance outweighs the sound it makes. It's well worth the money.

It's noisy, less than say a lawnmower but more than my 5 hp wet dry vac. I use it in my driveway. It's not just the noise of the motors but the noise of the air hitting the car. I don't think enough noise to annoy neighbors but I would not use it at night due to noise.

Yes, even on low it is loud, from the fan blades pushing the air. It registers on my decibel meter at around 50 decibels at where I sleep. I use it to drown out the neighbors annoying yapping dog at 2am. As well as cats that fight outside my window. It moves tho a impressive amount of air.

I have not noticed a loud motor. However, my son only turns it on every so often.

Yes, it is loud. I was warned by one the reviews before buying it, but bought it anyway. I am happy with the machine overall, but the noise has got the biggest downside.

Not normal! No motor noise, maybe just a hum. Unless the motor is not stationed firmly and is maybe vibrating, I would return. Mine is so quiet, I sometimes forget it is there until I here running water!

Yeah i would say it's a tad loud. Especially if you use the vacuume. That being said, it's literally never crossed my mind before now.

The motor is practically silent, but the rushing air makes significant noise. On low it's not all that loud.

Our motor is very loud for about 5 minutes and then we can hit the unit and it goes back to it's normal quiet state. I think the motor is about to burn out, but hitting it seems to work for now. We were out of warranty when it began, so I never pursued a fix.

It is hardly noticeable. very quiet. If you have it set to the deepest massage you will hear the motor a little and the air , both are low noise.

I don't think it's particularly loud but you might. It's located in our basement. I can hear it when it runs but it's not like it disturbs us or we can't talk over it if u know what I mean. Let me put it this way: the washing machine is way louder. I expect it to get a work out this week with all the snow melt. Glad to have it. Worked like a champ last spring. Good luck.

It's loud, but it's not a problem. It's working just find, I think it's just the mechanism that makes it so you can't just pull it and it keeps going and going and going lol

I do NOT know why they requested I answer this question for you. I however have not had any motor trouble. Mine every once in a while will vibrate way to loud. But I don't run mine 247. I keep it off most days. It's on to allow the cat's or the kids that are over here to have a little fun & watch it but other than that I don't keep it on 247 it makes more noise than I prefer. I hope you are able to get your motor fixed.

I don't think it's loud. I live on the third floor of an apt and told the people below me to let me know if they can hear the rower. They said they couldn't the fan makes some noise, but not more than a tv set on a normal volume! Hope this helps!

Extremely acceptable noise level. Of course there is a motor noise, but it certainly doesn't 'scream at you', if that's what you mean.
