Is this loud when turned on? For instance, can it be heard through thin walls?

It's pretty quiet. Your moaning is more likely to be heard, through the walls, than the buzzing noise from the vibrator.

It is not quiet per say but it isnt the loudest one I have had... I would not get it if you are trying to not let other hear you, if that makes sence.

You can hear it, esp at the highest setting, but the volume isn't bad. I usually just keep a blanket over me and it's fine.

(I have used this for years and I love it.) RE: noise factor, it seems like it could be loud enough on the higher 2 settings. Frankly, I haven't asked my neighbors!!

It has 3 settings the first one isn't loud but it gets louder,faster as you click through other settings.Reminds me of the sound of a electric razor kind of.

It is not bad but vibrator showroom has some more discreet and quiet vibrators. I love mine. As another said moaning would probably be louder.

We have it in our family room and personally, I can't hear it at all. When I concentrate on hearing it, it has a slight hum. The other people that describe it as "loud", either have a defective unit or the fan in their unit just runs a bit louder. Unless you place it in your bedroom, I'd be surprised if you hear it at all.

Mines not loud at all. You have to put it next to your ear to hear it. I bought it because it was supposed to be loud.

It's not 100% silent but it's not irritatingly loud either. I have it in my family room over our big-screen t.v. so we hardly notice it. But if it's for a bedroom and your son is a very light sleeper, he may be able to hear it, but just barely. Hope this helps.

Mine does make some noise when I move it from room to room, however I wouldn't say it is loud.

Barely noticeable! You turn it on and as the fan and element get going you dont hear anything loud and obnoxious just a faint hum.

It's not silent, but it's pretty quiet. I think it would be hard to hear in an active office, and I doubt you could hear it through a cubicle wall. But this definitely a slight hum.

It is not bad. We use it in a room with other ambient noise so we don't notice it at all. In a super quiet room you may hear it.

It's not very loud. I sleep with the ceiling fan on and this thing too, and sometimes I can't tell if it's on. The fan is basically what you would find in a computer tower so the noise is minimal. A slight humm if anything

Interesting question. The sound of mine opening is barely perceptible, so I would have to say no, it's not supposed to open loudly.

Hi Urbeautifl, I agree with Nancy it does have a clicking sound but it's not what I would consider loud. But you can hear it.

Mine is quiet but it depends on which setting you use. If it's on the lowest and is still very loud then there is an issue.

Mine is quiet. You should not have noise. Turn volume down. See instructions.

It's not loud for sure. I really like mine. It may have a little noise but it's soothing and honestly I don't notice it.

Charles, it's plenty loud enough for us. You can control the volume from your bluetooth device and from the speaker itself. We've had to turn it down, we can hear it throughout our fairly large house. Having said that, if you're trying to fill a large hall or something then it mightn't suit your needs. We're very happy with this purchase, it's been an absolute winner!

I don't think it is very quiet, making a sort of chugging/humming sound. I'm noise sensitive, so it would bother me if someone was near me while they were using it. If you were in another room, I don't think it could be heard, however.

It depends on how thick your walls are...but no it is not quiet, it's actually quite loud.
