Is the machine noisy

It's very quiet but after 2,000 strokes in two days the hinges on the arms began to squeak ... it was very aggravating but disappeared after I applied a little oil.

No. There is a low sound of the rollers along the track, and after 10,000+ strokes the main bushings will wear and will cause a dull "clunk". A call to customer service got me replacement bushings and corrected that. So, at it's worst ,the machine is not noisy.

The rowing part is silent. The only thing that makes noise is the seat that slides back and forth on the bar. It is not very loud.

I have not had any problem w loud noises. Probably the only nice thing I can say about the machine.

Yes, noise is like white noise...very quiet. I believe the value of running the machine is increased by 1) keeping the filter clean and 2) isolating the room by keeping that door closed all the time.

I have had this appliance for about 3 weeks and it seems to work very well and the noise level is reasonable. I would not say it is quiet but it's not noisy either.

Only noise it makes is when it froths the milk. But I do feel like it's not that bad to be honest. I've had espresso makers that have been much louder! They're all going to make noise but this one is by far the best machine I've ever owned. It does everything and quickly too! :-D

Ours is in an office laboratory with other noises as well so I can't really say if it's noisy. The only time I really hear it is when I open the door. Hopefully this helps with your decision.

yes - it is loud and it does vibrate. But in my experience, this is generally the case with all high pressure espresso machines.

ours are not really very noisy, I mean I had louder ones before. I guess this one is medium noisy if that makes any sense...we are happy

It is not quiet, but it is not overly noisey. The sound is not disturbing...seems rather normal sound a juicer should make.

The machine is fairly quiet, but probably would annoy someone trying to make a phone call. It depends how strong you are as a rower. Strong rowers make noise, but weaker rowers are almost silent. Sorry that this answer isn't definitive - it depends on both the rower and the other person in the room as to whether it's going to be annoying or not.

It is so quiet you really can't hear it. Don't let that keep you from buying it though. It is an awesome machine.

No, this machine is whisper quiet. You'll be surprised at how little noise it makes.

The refrigerator is no more noisy than comparable machines. You will hear the compressor when it cycles on, but I do not find it intrusive.

The machine has a fan type noise and a sound from the chain. I don't find them very loud. I watch T.V. and don't have to turn the volume up. Unless the other person is very bothered by any noise ,I would think the activities mentioned would not be a problem.

It does make noise but its not that loud. I have it right next to my desk. when its not running it is silent.

My machine has developed the same noise. The old machine I had also had a rubbing noise at the flywheel. I have used this machine heavily for the last six months.It still runs fine. I use music to mask the noise. Its not noticable.

It's def louder than a portable generator. If you start it up and don't hear it, you better go check on it. Having said that tho, I don't mean to say that it is distractingly noisy, just that you're going to hear it running.
