How loud is the scroll wheel?

Not too bad, still very quite but probably the loudest part of the mouse compared to the button clicks... but still very quiet. It's hard to quantify "loudness" for you but hopefully this context will help. I play video games late a night when my wife sleeps (the only time I can) and she used to always yell at me for the mouse being so load as she was a light sleeper. I bought and use this mouse now (which requires scroll wheel use too) for months and she sleeps through the night without waking up... so it passes the "angry wife" test for me. I hope this helps.

I can feel the detents but not necessarily hear the scroll wheel in movement. The real issue is the this mouse is not silent. Instead of a high frequency click, the Bornd makes a lower frequency sound that is clearly audible.

I've never had a problem with the scroll wheel. The button that makes it a free wheeled scroll is awesome. This is the best mouse I've ever owned. I don't do any gaming so not sure how well it would work for games.

Yes, the wheel clicks softly during scrolling. Most mice I have used have a harder click than this.

It's quite loud~ much louder than my previous laptop. I'm not sure about the quality... It's good for me~

Yes, scroll wheel is silent too. Has some texture on the wheel for traction, but you can't feel lines with your finger.

The keyboard is not loud, I would say just a normal click sound, perhaps the same as a laptop.

Not very loud at all. There are tiny beads in the little flaps inside the wheel but that's the only part that makes a noise. It would be fine at a restaurant in my opinion.

I'd say couple notches louder than a hamster running in a wheel, depending how hard you run it.

It's loud enough to be annoying in a room with no other noise. I would advise choosing a new mouse or new wife. The quality of this mouse is fairly high...

The scroll is not perfectly smooth - there are "notches", but it is quiet. Personally, next to a $60+ Logitech game mouse, this is an excellent mouse, and the low cost is awesome. I will definitely be buying these again. I have several.

No I don't think it's overly loud. I use it alot and the hum doesn't bother me. In NYC I have more noise with the windows open. I am very happy with this model.

It's not silent, but you could do much worse. If you're looking for a quiet mouse, I probably would not recommend this one but if you don't mind a little sound, then this one is the way to go.

Although it is not 100% noiseless the left and right mouse buttons sound similar to almost any other computer mouse when clicking to make a selection. When using the silver scroll pad, the mouse provides an audible, but very low decibel, feedback "pulse" to simulate the sound you would hear when using the scroll wheel on a standard computer mouse.

The mouse buttons are exceptionally quiet compared to a regular mouse, BUT the scroll wheel is horribly imprecise. I got rid of mine for just that reason, I would've kept it if not for that. Also the button beneath the scroll wheel itself takes a relatively large amount of pressure to click.

I think Alex's answer is probably fairly accurate. If you consider the volume of full sized keyboards (think the ones that used to come with desktops), that's probably a 4 while most modern laptops with the island keys (think like those on the Apple keyboards) are closer to a 2 or even a 1 if you type softly. This keyboard is definitely louder, but not especially so. It is more of a solid click than a clack, if that makes any sense. I personally use mine in an open office setting and haven't had any complaints. Hopefully this helps answer your question!

Yes, but its no where near as loud as a mechanical keyboard. *MUCH*? not really, but it is louder.

It isn't a whoosh or a whine, it is more like a breeze. It is slightly louder than the PC fan. Mine is in the main part of my living space, and I don't really hear it unless I am trying to.
