is it annoyingly loud?

No... no louder than any other blender, and it works great with the ice, I love it.

No, it is not. It's pretty quiet. That's why I returned a Black and Decker mixer to Macy's.

it's loud but I wouldn't call it annoying. I guess that's just a personal thing. Doesn't bother me because I look forward to the final product it's going to give me, like my great morning smoothies. Hubby finds it a little annoying, first thing in the morning, but it does the job pretty quickly

At the three or g Four highest speeds -Yes. Other speeds are bearable. I run it on the third from highest speed and cannot hear the phone ring.

It is loud, of course. But not 'annoyingly loud' to me. The sound of my 'healthy cocktail' mixing up in the morning and/or afternoon is music to my ears. Power / Horsepower makes a powerful sound. Just like a new 600+ HP C7 Corvette Z06. That baby purrs / roars, and that's music to my ears, too. So you can't have it both ways. Power = a powerful sound. And it's not as if one is going to leave the blender on a long time. It get's the job done in a respectable time, depending on what you are 'blending / mixing / concocting.' Don't worry, the neighbors won't call the cops and complain about the noise. I think anyone would enjoy this Wave Crusher Blender, as I do. And it's a lot of bang for the buck. It is loud, of course.

It's noisy. high pitch sound, but not unbearable. It's noticeable for sure, so try to place it far away from where you'll be sitting.

Yes, even on low it is loud, from the fan blades pushing the air. It registers on my decibel meter at around 50 decibels at where I sleep. I use it to drown out the neighbors annoying yapping dog at 2am. As well as cats that fight outside my window. It moves tho a impressive amount of air.

It's terribly loud. It's a great looking fan, but very annoying! Keep shopping unless you will be using the fan very little.

It's pretty loud. I run it at night and it acts like white noise so it never bothers me. It does an excellent job though.

It's about as loud as a floor box fan or portable fan. You do have to talk over it if you're standing right there. But it makes your house smell great so it's a tolerable nuisance!

It's quite a bit louder, not extremely loud though. I recommend it though. Sounds pretty good. I've gotten many compliments, and you can't beat that price.

It is still fairly loud. The lower setting isn't too loud but if you really want to move things, you'll probably need it on the higher setting and it's noticeably louder.

Not super loud. More like annoying. I've only heard mine up close. Haven't tried to see what it sounds like from a distance. Anybody checked to see if the sound can be heard from a distance?

I think it is somewhat loud, but it is significantly less loud if you hold it in your hands rather than have it sitting on the counter. If you need it really quiet, you can always put a towel around it (I've done this when grinding coffee at night).

Yes, but it is very loud! We've only use it twice but definitely turned it off during quiet hours.

It's not loud for sure. I really like mine. It may have a little noise but it's soothing and honestly I don't notice it.

I haven't used it in almost a year...but I do not recall it being loud at all. It lasted the entire time of my daughter's party until we turned it off.

No, it is not LOUD. It is barely adequate. But it is clear enough. I would never buy it again, not at half the price.

No. mine is not loud at all. The suction is very strong so you have to be careful when vacuuming.

Yes, I find mine a little noisy too, but I thinks it's a great piece of equipment for the price !

Yes, it is loud! But I thought that was part of the process. Does not bot her me at all.
