How quite is this or is it noisey? We need it for a training room and cannot have a loud machine in there.

I have it in an office waiting area setting. It does not seem to make much noise, its actually pretty quiet. Hope it helps

It isn't that loud on the lowest setting. It is actually easy to hear anything going on in the room. It is about as noisy as a light rainstorm.

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 noisy but not perfectly quiet. Just a low humming sound. I have used it in my bedroom and it did not keep my awake but some people are more sensitive to sounds than others.

The robots we have, (five of them), are not noisy at all compared to a regular vacuum. We can have one running in the same room with us while watching television with just a slight increase in volume. If I sleep late, my wife can run one in another room without disturbing me. (Provided the door is shut). I would judge that the db level is just a little above that of a dishwasher. For the value received, the robot sound is very tolerable

It's quite loud. If you are looking for a quiet model this may not be for you.

It is quieter than my last treadmill (when I don't have my iPod plugged in to use the built in speakers and play my music loud). We have the treadmill in a bedroom which is near two other bedrooms and shut the door and it doesn't bother anyone. I will say we are a family that sleeps with fans running so maybe that is an added buffer to the treadmill sound. I do not think it is noisy. The only issue is a bad design where the cover is located at your feet - you step on it occassionally. We fixed this problem by adding a 1-1/4" wood dowelling that fits into the handles perfectly and hold onto the dowel instead of the built-in handle bars. I can send you a pic if interested if you give an email address.

It is powerful so it is louder. But it is a lower sound of machine noise. Well worth the price.

It is pretty loud, but it moves a ton of air! I use it in my workout room and the noise is fine. If you plan on using it near a TV or while sleeping, it might be a little too loud.

It is a washing machine, but it is not obnoxiously noisy. Do not put it in the babies room.

It's actually not bad. Yes, it's vibrating so it generates noise but I've had compressors that are so loud you have to raise your voice to talk while standing next to them. This one, however, is not that loud

We run ours on low & it's in the far corner of the room, so in ours is very quiet. It depends on what speed you run it on & how far you are from it.

It's not terribly loud. My shop vac is noisier. Most all of the tools it would be used with are going to be noisier. Good hearing protection should be used regardless of what dust collector is used I have owned mine for two years now and it is performing very well. Much less dust than my previous unit which is why I upgraded. It handles a couple tools at the same time very well. I recommend it. Might cost a bit more than others but worth it.

I use the machine on the lower levels and the noise is minimal; conversation or TV no problem. But the dinging between each pause of the session is quite distracting, and it disturbs my husband if he is trying to sleep 2 rooms away. My husband uses the upper levels and they are noisy. The top level really rumbles; talking is out and you can "watch" TV but you can't hear it. Like another reviewer said, this is not like an hour on a tread mill. And one can live without chatting or the TV for 10 minutes. We really like this machine and use it almost daily.

I do not find it to be noisy at all...when you plug it in, there is a startup noise similar to a computer starting...that is all. I love this machine!!!

Fairly noisy. I would not recommend this machine. Mine is 4 months old and going back to the shop for the 3rd time.
