How loud is it when running? I work from home and can close my door for phone calls. How distracting when you are in the same room with it?

It is definitely quieter than regular vaccums. I think it's better when supervised if you have many obstacles, that could be distracting but no more than just watching it and maybe use the remote to adjust the trajectory.

Quieter than several Roomba's that I have had and worn out. Not clear how long this one will last either. Probably won't be happy trying to talk on phone with one of these in same room. Behind a closed door s/b reasonable.

It does make noise but it is not that annoying. I am not sure that talking on the telephone while running it would be a good idea. I have become used to the noise now and can ignore it.

I think it is Loud. I close the door to my bedroom and leave it. It is hard to talk over unless you have a large room. I still like it however

It's not super noisy but it's not whisper quiet either. I have mine in the living room, I don't know that it'd be good for running overnight in a bedroom. Also, I live in NYC and probably have a higher noise tolerance than people who live in rural or suburban areas.

It is not loud. It;s very quiet. You can hear it while using it but it would to disturb others in an office.

I have a home office, but do need to participate in teleconferences, and I have asked people whether they can hear it; they say 'no'. a cubicle can be a little different that this, however. it makes the same swooshing noise that any treadmill makes as the belt moves, and your stepping noise would still be heard also. probably depends on your office's overall noise level.

I'm curious about the noise level in a quiet office environment too. I'm sure it wouldn't interrupt anyone, but would everyone in the vicinity hear the sounds it makes while operating?

It is not silent and it is not noisy. You can easily hold a conversation while standing next to it. It is quieter than window air conditioners I've been around. If it is running next to the head of the bed while you are trying to sleep, there is no doubt you will know it is there. Will it annoy you? My wife is phonophobic and on low speed it didn't bother her: she described it as a white noise she could overlook.

How quiet is this treadmill? I want to use it in an open plan office I share with 3 other people.

It's loud enough in a quiet room. I use it on the loudest setting for my daughter while I'm in the shower. Anything louder than a shower running, you may need headphones.

Mine isn't loud, I was able to leave it running in the kitchen and hear the tv in that room without turning it up.

I wouldn't say it is loud - I can hear it snap shut from other rooms in the house.

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 is very loud. Can't be used in a room where conversations take place. The fan runs continuously (which is unnecessary in my opinion) & the compressor kicks in when it needs to (& then it gets louder).

I don't know about compared to others because it's the only one I've owned, but you can hear it in the other room. I won't use mine while others are still sleeping, but if they are awake, I don't think it's loud enough to be a distraction.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I work nights and sleep most of the day. Mine sits outside about 15' away from the house and while inside watching tv, you can here it but not loud enough to need to turn up the tv. I have a PVC fence, so the sound does carry a bit more for others but not enough to interfere with their going ons. I kind of like hearing the little noise I get from it, so I also know which of my appliances is giving it a load when it ramps up.

it is fairly loud. We use it in a server room with the door closed. I would say it is like a loudish window unit. which i find too much for normal conversation. The other thing to consider is it throws off lots of heat. Of course you have to vent it but in close quarters you can feel the heat from the pipe if you are not on the cool side.

I find the volume to be just right to be able to hear it all through the house. There is a mute button if you are close to the receiver when it sounds. If you think this is too loud you could put it inside your coat closet.

It's the quietest model I've found, although you can still hear a slight buzz from it. I don't find it annoying but there is some noise. We have it in our office and it doesn't disturb me while working.
