How noisy is the vacuum? My old one sounded like it was rattling apart from day one!

It does not make any rattling noises, it is loud, but any vacuum that works very well and has a lot of power will do that.

To me, this one isn't as noisy as my previous Dirt Devil upright. Of course it is not super quiet either.

My answer may be different from other responders, but I don't think its too noisy.

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.

Lewis, I read an article about Dyson and his path to designing and marketing his vacuums some time ago that said the company actually increased the noise of the machine for the American market because we perceive loudness to be equivalent to power. In other words, if it were too quiet, Americans would consider it not powerful enough. Having said that, I find the machine no more noisy nor more quiet than comparable vacuums. It's about the same as an Oreck or a Bissel, in my opinion. Hope that helps.

This machine started off quiet, but soon after started squeaking at the handles. I live in a house so no neighbors to bother but I still use a mat under it. The main noise for me are the handles that squeak at random. Not a really big deal for me. I still love it. Good luck!!

Mine is pretty quiet compared to others I've had (Hoover, Dyson & Oreck). I've had all types of vacs and this is by far my favorite.

I would have to say that the squeal your Dyson is making is not normal. My reconditioned Animal makes nothing but the usual sound all vacuums make.

Hi, The one I had before this was a 12 amp "Dirt Devil." This one is slightly quieter but not by much. I guess I would say the noise level is average, but I haven't had much experience with a wide range of vacuums. My cat doesn't like it though and leaves the room while I use it.

traditional dryers can easily get rattling noise if something small gets sucked into the filtering process... but This one I doubt that is much of an issue, I've had mine about that long, and I don't have a rattling noise. Try slowly rotating the inner drum, and see if something 'moves' inside (aka... drops b/c it was ontop of the drum or something else, or something inside the inner 'bumps' that push the cloths)

Its pretty good, actually! Its not the MOST silent vacuum I've ever owned, but the power to noise ratio far surpasses previous vacuums. Usually with less noise comes a less powerful vacuum. And it has more of a low tone, so it's much less obnoxious. I definitely dont feel like Im disturbing my neighbors. Come to think of it, my roommate has told me, with his bedroom door closed, he can barely hear anything if Im vacuuming the living room.

I would say it makes an average vacuum cleaner noise. It does not have a really high (or whiny timbre) I do not currently have any pets...so I can't say for sure.

I have the newest model just delivered today. Nowhere near as noisy as the units in the videos. However mine is sitting on a concrete floor and not on wood.

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.

It definitely gets squeaky over time. I've had mine since January this year and it was so quiet at first, but the last two month it started getting loud and I can't find the source to quiet it down.

It's not noiseless but quieter than the Kenmore upright I had before this. There's less noise when using just the hose with cleaning attachments rather than the full vacuum.

Mine has a soft rattling sound when I shake it firmly (I just checked)--and it's brand new, working perfectly.

I would say that it is average. I'm sensitive to sound, and I don't ha e a problem with it for the time it takes for a cleaning, but it is by no means as quiet as some super deluxe models. I like the suction and the self propelled sweeper the most. Very worth every penny.

I don't feel it's too noisy at all. It's about the same as other vacuums, plus it works better.
