How is the noise factor? Does is have a sound suppressing coating?

Yes, it has a sound suppressing coating on the bottom surfaces, but not on the side surfaces. Still, I would say that the sink is pretty quiet. I used to have a SS sink that didn't have any sound suppressing coating, and it was so loud that I would have to shut the water off in order to maintain a conversation. Maintaining a conversation is not a problem with this sink.

My sink has been installed for a couple of months now. I have no issues concerning sound. When I place large pots down or am doing dishes there are some thumps here and there. However, its a normal solid sound not hollow and loud. I am very happy with the look and quality of my sink so far. I believe I made a good choice selecting this sink.

Not sure about those noises. The seem to block white noise and reduce loud music best. At a rock concert I could hear my wife talking to me clearly.

It greatly muffles it. I forgot to mention that initially in my review. Volume maxed out you can hear somewhat clearly but it's much quieter since it's covered.

Noise reduction. I just want to add that for the price, these are excellent. I have several sets.

It reduces the noise somewhat. I only covered a door but I figure it you use it over a larger area you will have silence

There is some slight wind noise through the mic but I installed the Vega speaker pads I found on Amazon from Orange Choppers in Florida and it helped tremendously. There is a noise cancellation setting in the Sena that you can also use and it helps.

Its not noise cancelling the way you think, there is just layers of filters that will filter out background noise. Like the foam piece around most microphones except even better. The mic is the highest quality you can buy on a headset and you wont need to worry about that at all.

Until you asked, I never considered noise to be a factor, because this unit is virtually silent. Highly recommended!

They form a pretty good seal. I would put their passive noise reduction at somewhere around 20 dB.

I don't know the noise reduction is, just that they work really well for me but then I wear hearing aids and these are the best ones I've tried.

There not noise cancelling. However, the base is such that it renders noise cancelling irrelevant. And after all, that's all noise cancelling is- exaggerated base.

I also read somewhere that there is a version with better noise reduction, but the newer one I got from new egg (made 1-07) didn't sound as good as a mid 06 made one I test-flew from a local retailer. The noise reduction tinkering may lead to a more "muffled "sound for those on the other end.

You can't completely filter out noise if you're going to move air. I sprang $300 on an Oransi, and it's only marginally quieter, but it is. This one seems to produce a lower white noise, i suspect from the fan/motor. We (9-year-old ears) can't detect any stand-out pitches.

The noise level is moderate. I use it only occasionally for rabbit, possum etc and its fine.

I have a pretty loud air-purifier and computer as well, and the AT2020 does a good job of not picking up those ambient noises quite well! Most of my recordings are whisper quiet in the background. Hope this helps!

Noise pollution is very small. I can have volume on my Samsung S3 on max level and if I'm on bus, my neighbour can't hear. If the bus were to stop he might hear something but on normal listening level, which is 2 hits below the max, people around usually can't hear anything. Isolation isn't perfect but I is good and I sure was surprised by it.
