How loud is the vent running on the different settings? My current microwave leaves everyone in the kitchen yelling when the vent comes on.

You can hear it, but it's not too loud. Nobody should be yelling with it on. We have normal conversations in the kitchen with it running.

Its not very loud at all, I wish I had a decibel meter to answer you properly, but I will say you hear more of a "whoosh" from the air moving than anything. It also depends on the setting because while none of the settings are loud by OTR vent standards, the lowest setting is very soft. We've never had to yell to converse with one another even on the highest (loudest) setting. I hope this helps.

Yes. There is a multi-speed fan on my unit. The vent feature was one of the things that influenced my purchase. I don't believe it makes any difference, but the model number on my microwave has a 1 after the DR (DR1WW). So far it has worked very well.

Have you read my review of this microwave? It's a loud piece of crap that barely lasted us a year!! If you've not bought it yet....don't! If you have, good luck with that! All I have for you...

Your typical microwave is over 60Db. How quiet do you expect it to be? Usually you can barely hear it. Try the noise of a TV set, typically set at 65 Db.

I don't think it's loud especially when compared to other types of heaters. I've had several heaters of different types over the years & this one is definitely a lot quieter than any other I've owned with the exception of a dish type which didn't have any kind of fan. The only thing that's loud on this is after it cycles down it does make a distinct "pop" when it shuts itself completely off. Any heater with a fan is going to make some noise but this is by far much quieter than most.

Looks like you can't eliminate the audible signal in this model. Also there is nothing about that in the manual. I tried a few button combinations but that didn't work (in some, maybe all Samsung microwaves you simultaneously hold Start and Stop buttons for a few seconds to eliminate the signal).

Loudest microwave i ever heard. Wouldnt stop running the other day unless unplugged. Dont buy. Keep shopping.

I have this unit and the only time I've noticed the fan running is when it goes through a periodic self-test, then you can hear the fan kick in. I just got down and put my ear aside the fan vent and could hear a fan but very low volume. My tower is near and the fans in there are much louder, and they are "quiet" fans.

This microwave is not loud. I am sensitive to noises, so if it were annoying I would notice! The door is easily opened. You simply pull the handle.

The noise level is about average for a microwave. You hear it, but it's not obnoxious. The thing to be concerned about with this model is the latch on the door. Once that goes, the microwave won't work.

Compared to what? The noise level is not a problem for us. However, while there is a light inside the oven, it is not that bright anddoes not go on while the oven is operating. That is one point that is not mentioned in the description and we didn't think about whenwe ordered the oven. But it's not worth returning the oven for another unit. We'll live with it until it croaks and get's replaced.

Compared to other microwaves I've owned, I would not say it is noisy. The thumping and bumping you normally hear as the magnetron cycles on and off is actually less noticeable, IMO.

No. And that was quite annoying to me because it was very loud. I was comparing lots of microwaves, and I thought this one had that feature. I was disappointed to find out it doesn't. I think it's the only one of their models that does not.

I'd say a 2 to 3, average loudness for a Microwave. There is a fan, that is somewhat noticeable, no other noises.

It beeps when you're pushing the buttons to set it, when it gets to the temperature set and then when it shuts off. You can not adjust to sound level but I don't find it to be too loud. My microwave is louder.

The fan is loud enough to be slightly bothersome. I have a small t.v. in my kitchen and the burner is near the t.v. I do have to turn up the t.v. slightly when the burner is on. However, I don't think it would have an impact on normal converstation in the kitchen. Overall, I love the way induction works and my next stove cooktop will be induction.

Yes. If you are hard of hearing, this is the one for you! I will also add that the next microwave is going to have a door handle instead of that sorry push button in the lower right corner!
