Would like to know how loud the machine is, dBa?

I don't know what the decibel rating is, but it is not excessively loud. Any of the machines you'd be collecting dust off of will be louder (Dewalt 12" bench top planer in my case) so you'd be wearing ear protection anyway. It does draw 15 amps so needs it's own circuit. I couldn't run both the planer and the dust collector off the same circuit without drawing down the voltage. Seems like a solid, well built machine. I've used the older version before with the bag on top which did a satisfactory job. This is definitely an improvement.

I have a small shop and the dust collector is very much in the open. I is not as loud as I expected. Not quiet, but significantly less noise than my shop vac, table saw, etc.

Dont have a dBa rating, but it is loud, similar to a running fan like 24 " in dia.

It's no louder than a Keurig Machine is. In an office break room or kitchen it would be fine. Just be aware it goes through water VERY quickly.

I have this same problem. It's loud and I can't for the life of me figure out why it started or how to stop it. I'll have to buy a new machine (not this one).

Yeah... they are loud. Sound like a plane taking off. The G7 servers are a little quieter. I tried to use a dl360 in my house for a file server. Its funny how much louder these servers are outside a noc.

50 dBA, set in a corner, and measured at a distance of 4ft from the machine when it is set on high. I measured it. I think that would be considered loud by most people if operated in a small or moderate size bedroom. However on the low setting it is whisper quiet. I operate it on the low and medium settings in my 190 sqft bedroom, sleeping 6 ft away, and have no trouble sleeping. I definitely hear it but the whir/hum is not disturbing to me at all. On high it would bother me. The trouble with the low setting is that it puts out a negligible amount of vapor, so the Medium setting works well for me. 50 dBA, set in a corner, and measured at a distance of 4ft from the machine when it is set on high.

The machine is quiet, but if you're walking on it, people will probably hear you.. especially if you break into a jog.. You may be able to cut down on the noise by purchasing a treadmill pad. The more padding you have, the less noise. It all really depends on how heavy you are, how loud you walk. ^_^

The machine is pretty quiet - I had it set up on a kitchen counter and is was not a problem, noise wise!

I personally do not know but it is quite loud. I have had it for a year and never felt it was not loud enough.

It is a little louder than most other laptops I've dealt with, but it's not something many people would notice. It seems the more you use it the quieter it gets.

It's relatively quiet. It's not a mechanical keyboard so it's not that loud. It's average I'd say.

not loud at all. I used it in an office setting and it didn't disturb anyone.

Yes, it is very loud when you print; otherwise it seems quiet. I actually like the printer, but I hate the runaround from the service dept., when they sold me a defective cartridge and won't do anything about it.

Don't have anything to measure the db, but I can tell you that I don't find the noise to be of any consequence. My tools make LOT's more noise than the collector. I can tell you it's quieter than a shop vac; gave up using my vac and now only use the collector. Does a great job of this as well as dust and chip control. Have probably had this unit 4 years now and am still using the original bags, and it gets used a lot; sometimes 6 hrs per day. Hope this helps

I have not measured the volume in dB, However it is much quieter than the case fans and CPU fans. I currently have it in my workshop in an open air environment, so I never hear the thing. The fan is 140mm I believe, and is controlled by temperature. The intelligent fan control keeps fan noise to a minimum below 45C. Which it never reached, even while mining in the summer. Regardless, it will be a very quiet unit for most applications. Look for the review at Johnny Guru for more info. -buzznut

Don't see answer to my question recapping loudness of machine. I am a customer. I just received my Ninja. It works fine but have to wear earplugs when operating it.

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.

The noise level is moderate and what would be expected for what the machine does. The noise has not been an issue for me.
