I am primarily a bow hunter and very concerned about any game spooking noises. The low hum of the fan doesn't seem to be noticed by deer. I have had mature does within 20 yards of me & they don't seem to notice it. I have also used it in a box blind (venting out a window) and had 2 doe, a yearling and a buck approach from downwind of me and feed for 20 - 30 minutes without knowing I was there. The buck was too small to shoot. The noise isn't enough to spook game and it really doesn't seem to interfere with one's ability to hear game approaching especially when used out of box blind. Inside one it is noticeable and may be a draw back if relying on hearing a deer approach. I am primarily a bow hunter and very concerned about any game spooking noises.

i thought it was noisy when it's really still out ,but when it's windy it's not noticeable. it of course has a fan in it so it's gonna have some noise to it. ( i'm sending mine back) got busted a few time while bowhunting thinking it would do the job on downwind deer ....hard to beat a deers nose.

It is not really noisy. It makes a swoosh sounds as you walk or run on it -- but not noise.

It's not whisper quiet. I have it in my living room and am able to hear it in my bedroom with the door open (not a huge house). We run it off and on throughout the day and continuously through the night. It doesn't make an annoying noise but it would say it is as loud as a box fan.

No, it's not really noisy. It has a hum and vibrates a little.My 2 dogs let me use it on them without any problem.

Not noisy at all. It has a sound when it is close to finishing but the sound is very low.

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.

I don't think it is loud at all. I am very pleased with everything about it.

It is kind of noisy, yes. Not incredibly disruptive, but definitely louder than boiling water on the stove.

I wouldn't call it loud but it is not quiet. It's not a big deal, it only makes noise when you use it. We check and adjust our bed maybe once a month or so. It maintains it's pressure quite well. Adjusting the pressure takes seconds.

Yes, it is a little noisy but not unbearable. I have shredded for 45 minutes without being annoyed by the sound. It is micro and it is moderately fast.

In my opinion, it's not noisy. I think it's more quiet than a window AC. I really like the hum of the motor, and it doesn't bother me at all.

It is kind of noisy, but not in a loud way. We have it outside behind the shop and it pumps water to the front deck. When it's pumping, I can't hear it when I'm watering plants. It isn't an on-demand pump, it runs continuously.

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.

Not noticeably noisy. Have had a while and have been well satisfied. Works as well as the one I owned before.

It is pretty darn quiet, I've never measured, but it isn't noticeable if it is running or not most of the time. I've got one in my shop and I hear a window unit from 2 rooms (masonary walls) over it.
