This pump is about as loud as a new lawn mower. If you put a deflector wall around it, it would help some. It is a great pump.

Not close to house unless you like to listen to a lawn mower running.. would be OK if only run once in awhile.

It creates less noise than the larger machines.It is similar to a lawnmower, in noise level.

The motor is not loud at all. I've not cleaned the motor itself, I just rinse everything out every week. The sound of the water trickling is obvious but not offensive.

seems to have been answered already, but this is louder than my old pumpmaster 760 or my daisy powerline 880. so loud, in fact, that i do not shoot it in the backyard. bummer too, cuz that is why i got it.

It's def louder than a portable generator. If you start it up and don't hear it, you better go check on it. Having said that tho, I don't mean to say that it is distractingly noisy, just that you're going to hear it running.

A lot louder than a (good) sump pump. It's a small impeller that has to spin really fast to move the fluid. Not so loud that you need earplugs, but not the type of thing you'd want running in the next room if you were trying to sleep.

the pump noise varies on surface and what diameter hose you have on it as that seems to conduct noise also (pump is louder with bigger tubbing I have noticed. I personally have is outside under a bucket so its pretty quiet in that case :) I know several people that could sleep through it, I could not, and I would think it would be too loud for a bedroom, this is a great pump but its definitely better a ways away from sleeping areas.

I have not noticed a loud motor. However, my son only turns it on every so often.

It's open design, so the motor is right in front of you. I would say it's above 100 db when it's running. Louder than my Bosch 4100 for sure.

It's pretty loud - you're not going to want to inflate this with other people sleeping. But it's not as loud as some I've heard. I had one with an external pump and that was like a jet engine. This is more like a blow dryer.

It is as loud as any lawnmower would be. If you want quiet get a Honda. I usually set mine up behind my garage so when I'm in the house with the door closed I don't really notice it. But, I couldn't tell you what my neighbors think.

Noise is different to each person; however I find it to have a normal motor sound which is not that loud. I run mine in an enclosed garage, checking on it periodically.

Yes it is noisy because of the pump type. I sold it and bought the Kendal 898D+ and it is quiet.

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.

The sound of the motor is not loud or annoying...not in my estimation. It's performance outweighs the sound it makes. It's well worth the money.

No, should not be that loud (but mine is louder than I would like). Mine reminds me of my old fish tank air pump in loudness. Sounds like yours may be vibrating inside of the unit.

I have it in my bedroom about 6 ft. from where I sleep. No problems. One warning. I have baught several pumps through the years and just because one is quiet does not mean the next one of the same kind will be also.
