What is the noise level of this air system (in decibels)?

Hello, according to a review I read in "Fine Woodworking" magazine, the rated noise level is 83 db. I have owned this dust collector for almost 3 years. The noise level is much less than my large craftsman shop vacuum. I do run the Delta in another section of the garage/shop though so much of the noise is behind a wall. If you do opt to purchase this or a similar system, I recommend placing it behind a wall and not directly in your shop space if that is possible. You can get a remote on/off switch if it is out of sight and reach. Another tip is to get an Oneida "Super Dust Deputy" cyclonic dust separator to run with the machine. This keeps almost all dust and chips out of the dust collector, keeping the filter bag cleaner so the machine runs more efficiently for a longer period of time between cleaning or replacing bags. Good luck! This machine gets with the program and gets the job done in a small shop like mine.

Don't know about the decibels but it is not very loud. I target shoot in the yard and no one notices. It is louder with a fresh CO2 cartridege but quiets down after a few shots.

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.

We can't give you an exact decibel level, but the noise level is equivalent to a small table fan running on low, at least to us.

I don't know the exact decibels. However I can say it's not nearly as loud as the ones you'll find at Home Depot or pepboys. During sandy u could hears the humming of generators in every direction around me from as far as a half mile away. This thing I couldn't hear on the other side of my house outside let alone inside

I would say the noise level is about the same as others. Maybe just ever so slightly quieter. I bought it because it is very light in weight.

I can't give you a decibels answer, but I can tell you that had it been in my bedroom at night, I would have used earplugs. It's not terribly loud, but if you're a light sleeper, it might be annoying. It worked relatively well in the 11x12 soap- curing room I used it in, but wouldn't do more than that. A window air conditioner worked better.

I have no idea about the decibel level, but I do know this is the quietest compressor I've ever owned. I'm a remodel contractor and have owned many compressors. This compressor is great, I own two of them. For a small compressor, it has a big compressor feel. Meaning, it does more work than any other small compressor I have seen. I bought the first one and knew right away to buy the second.

I don't know the exact noise level, scientifically speaking, but I find it loud enough to be quite disruptive.The level of noise it makes is the main reason I am currently replacing it. I'm tired of yelling over this thing. Also, since it doesn't have an energy save mode, the fan stays on even when it's not cooling, so the loudness is constant.

NOT REALLY NOISY.. YOU CAN HEAR THE AIR FLOW BECAUSE IT MOVES A GREAT DEAL OF AIR. I LOVE IT!!!not sure what noise reduction is?

On high it is probably around 45 - 50 decibels. Loud, but not as loud as other units I have been around. We typically run it at the middle setting unless it's a really hot and muggy day and it is tolerable. I don't need to turn the tv up.

On a noise level from 1-10 this would be between 4-5. ~Thank you for shopping with Vert Delivery!

I don't know the decibels, but not that loud. No louder than a forced air heating system, as with an oil furnace. Takes up very little space and is safe; whereas, a quiet radiant heater with no fan is large and gets very hot, so you must keep away from other items in the room.

You will have no issues with noise with this unit. It is a very quite motor and especially at the speed of 1.5 you will barely hear anything

I don't agree with the other two answers. This air conditioner is the quietest one I have ever own. I had it installed about 15" from the ceiling, I also have a ceiling fan that we use. I give it 5 stars.

I don't know the decibels but it is super quiet. You can talk when it is running right next to you.
