It's quiet on 1 or 2. I haven't tried the other settings yet. I just bought mine. My husband and I are able to talk over it.

I would definitely look for quieter fan. Scale of 1-10 . 10 being loudest. This fan would be a 7. You can insulate it and make it quieter. There is some really quiet fans out there. Most people use these in attics or in an insulated box. Google it and there is alot of info out there.

It's pretty loud that's for sure. I did see a reduced volume version of the Blendtec but it's over $1,000. If you got the dough, get that. However, even though it is loud the blender rocks. Very happy with it. I don't know the other brand you're talking about but it's like the Vitamix in loudness.

You might have to do this two or three times. This is not a food processor, which I couldn't afford 35 years ago, but it was wonderful for my girls. I know it's harder today with everyone working, but it's only a few minutes more time, and practically no clean up time!

We have not had trouble with noise. I am particular about this so I can tell you it is quiet! Our finished basement is approximately 1000 square feet. We can watch Tv, play games without really noticing the machine. Ours runs continuously. I do have to empty it more often than our last machine but maybe this one is just better at removing moisture? Our basement stays at a comfortable humidity level. (<50%)

Well, weird as it may seem, I am looking for a fan that actually makes a noticeable hum/sound. We use it as a sound conditioner and to drown out external noise when sleeping. Does anyone know of one that would meet that requirement? Ours is about to quit, and it is not the time of year to find one in a retail store. Thank you.

Ours is quiet. It doesn't run constantly. We do hear the fan kick on, hum and then wind down when it goes off, but it's not a problem, just like "white noise", which you get used to. The fridge is sitting on carpet, about 12 feet from our bed. So it is not loud enough to disturb us! Be sure to allow a couple inches of venting space behind the fridge when you put it against the wall. And do not overload the door shelves, like with heavy soda, the door will gradually shift lower if it is over weighted.

I totally understand your concerns about noise. I bought 3 and one of them does make noise. The other two are silent. However the one that does make noise is still quieter than other brands I have.

No, I didn't resolve it. I tried 3 different ones, and they all had the same noise. Let me know if you end up going with the same model from a different store, I'm interested to see whether this is a problem with Amazon's batch or the entire line. It's too bad everywhere else is so much more expensive than Amazon though...

Our is loud as well. It is not similar noise compared with our old one, but it is loud. Our kitchen is separated, so we don't mind.

I agree with Vincent...it's not quiet. I have mine in the restroom next to the bedroom and the echo(of kibbles hitting the bowl) from the tile is quite loud. It's a non-factor given that you no longer need to spend your time putting out food! Highly recommended!!!

This microwave is not loud at all. We just love it!! I read the other answer, and we have not had the same problems.

Interesting comment here. I have a Bunn grinder that my family says will "wake the dead" because it is so loud. I was looking for a grinder that is a lot quieter, and thought I may have found on in this KitchenAid model. From what you are saying here, it isn't much quieter than a Bunn, if any at all.

I bought this for my toddler, but when I saw all the reviews, people say that this clipper is low noise, I don't know if it´s a problem with mine, but my clipper actually make noise, maybe a little less than others, but my boy gets really stressed with this.

Yeah, it is KINDA noisy... 7,8? You would prob wake someone up in another room without closing the door if they are a touchy person about that kind of thing. But I think this hair dryer is average in noise. I don't think you're going to find quieter. Dryers are loud.

If you're trying not disturb anyone else that may be in the next room ain't gonna happen. It's a machine, it makes noise. Is it extreme? No. Would you be able to epilate and go un noticed? No. Slitely more noise than an electric face shaver but much less than a hair blow dryer. Does this help?
