How noisy is this dryer? I'm guessing that depends on the speed, but how noisy at high end?

It's noisy about the same as most dryers. It's not one that advertises to be quiet.

I think it is lightweight compared to other dryers. Noise is about standard, I guess. I like this dryer because of the brush. It's very hard to find a dryer that has a brush and this brush is excellent. Some brushes only last a couple months -- this brush is indestructable. Sandra Hinton

It's pretty quiet compared to other dryers. I mostly got it because of how light weight it is. And I'm sure that with a smaller motor, that helps with the sound.

No, not a quiet dryer. It is just as loud as my other two full size dryers. Maybe even a bit louder than one of them.

It is the most quiet compressor I have ever heard...much quieter than a hair dryer...I am thrilled. It sounds like a compressor but really muffled like you're hearing it from way down the street.

Our dryer is pretty loud (a commercial unit in our building), and I can't hear them at all. I will say I've tried the plastic balls in the past, and they made a lot of noise.

The dryer has two speeds- high and low. Even the high setting is relatively gentle.

I would say that it is just as loud as any other hair dryer that I have had.

I would not say this one is a quiet hair dryer. It is not horribly loud but just not quiet. If you find that special "quiet" hair dryer, please update me. LOL

It's about average it's not real quiet but I have had dryers that were much louder. I don't believe there really is a quiet hair dryer out there no matter what the cost is. I don't think there is any hair dryer out there that can really be quiet, there has to be a motor and fan.

What has Watts got to do with this? I was seeking "quiet". I had a dryer that was labeled and was quiet. When I wanted to get a new dryer, I sought the quietest dryer I could find and one that was endorsed by those who had purchased the same dryer. I did buy it and it was the quietest dryer. Both dryers, regardless of wattage, dry hair the same and there is no noticeable difference, and they are both quiet, the newest one the more quiet than the older one. And that's why I bought "this one".

It's pretty loud. I wouldn't use it when anyone else is sleeping because it would wake them. It's not quite as loud as hair dryer but it's still pretty loud.

Absolutely. It is a wonderful dryer, especially with the attachment that makes the stream of air more narrow and strong. Blows out a lot of undercoat. A lot of people say the dryer is too loud and scares animals, but I've worked in a number of grooming salons where the dryers are even louder. Once an animal is used to the sound, they don't stress anymore.

I also bought this for my wife 2 years ago when our son was a infant. To avoid waking him up in the morning, I bought her this. It's not whisper quiet but it is substantially more quiet than her other two blow dryers. Especially at any distance. I'm commenting now because she accidentally broke it and now went back to using her old one and man is it loud... So now I am back looking for a replacement and seeing if this is still the best option.

It's pretty loud - you're not going to want to inflate this with other people sleeping. But it's not as loud as some I've heard. I had one with an external pump and that was like a jet engine. This is more like a blow dryer.
