How quiet/noisy is it? I wanted to buy a Dremel or some kind of rotary tool to keep my rabbit's teeth filed down. Recommendations?

It's not that loud to use. But not sure how an animal might react up close. There is not trigger or reverse, but a dial at the back to adjust speed.

It's quieter than any Dremel I own and I have several Dremels including 3 mini-mites - 2 old style and one new, one lithium dremel model 800 and several multi-pros over the years.

It is really quiet. I use mind on driftwood not to sure how the rabbit will like it. Give her a rock to chew on.

I use it to make jewelry and love it. I like the pistol grip handle which makes it easy to use. It is just as quite as any rotary tool

That's pretty subjective, but it's quieter than other shredders I've used - including much smaller ones. I don't find it to be terribly loud, but don't expect your dog not to bark at it!

Mine is very quiet and works perfectly. I love it,but,my kitties hate it. I did put a folded paper towel under the motor tho. Good luck. DI

This is a great feeder for any rabbit. However it is made of a resin type material and rabbits are known to chew and if they are not offered other chewing options and sometimes regardless if they do have other options they will chew this up and quickly. I would suggest a metal hay and food feeder.

Not near as noisy as my corded models. However, on high speed, my cats always leave the room. When I turn down the RPM to around 7 - 8, the frequency is such that they hang around.So I suspect that it is not so much the noise as the higher frequency that drives them crazy. These spin at very high RPM, 10,000 at top end. Also, the fact that your hand cradles the whole tool much more than the straight models, this helps also.

Maybe a bit quieter than the cheaper clippers. I couldn't call it "really quiet" though.I use this one on my cat, with no problems.

I am using one right now but it is under a nest box to keep the young in the nest warm. If you were to use it just on a cage floor you might want to watch closely to see that the rabbit didn't chew on it. I have not heard any pad owners say they chew on it just one did chew the coating off the metal ring that protects the cord.

Hello Sacha, usually a very quiet compressor is chosen for your purpose, and this is a very quiet unit. However, it should be placed in an adjoining room to save floor space, and minimize sound even more. I should tell you however, there is a type of compressor that is made specifically for your purpose. Although it usually cost much more, it is also even more quiet in operation. It is a compressor that is used for the Refrigeration industry as well, and you know how quiet your refrigerator is, right? I don't have a specific name or brand to suggest, but I know they are out there, if you look for them. Try looking for a Rotary type that may even be linked to dental equipment in Amazon's search engine. Now, if it were me, I would save the money and just put this Cal. Compressor in a closet, but you must decide for yourself. Good luck Sacha.

I wish I could give you more information, but I only use it to trim dog nails. I do know the bits are ridiculously difficult to change out. I've also tried the smallest electric (with cord) dremel available and found that changing bits is a lot easier with that one.

No it's VERY quiet. Not extremely powerful but will do nicely on small dogs. (4 Dobermans and 1 English Mastiff here!)

Quieter than I expected -- I grind beef and chicken for dog food. No louder than a blender, obviously meat with bones is louder but very reasonable. I hope this helps...

I've never used the corded model, but I'd say the noise is what I expect from this tool. I don't find it to be too loud at all, however I could see it bothering animals. It has a bit of a higher pitch to it, especially when it first starts up.

Difficult to say exactly and depending on the speed used. Generally speaking - it's much quieter than an electric hand drill. Good luck!

Since I use bedding, I plan to nail a wood floor panel with metal wheels to the bottom. It will give it extra stability as well as make it easier to move and clean. Maybe add some plastic tarp to avoid the rabbit urine from seeping into the wood.

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

I'm currently using it for a couple of pet rabbits. They chewed another brand up in a week. This one seems to have staying power. The 15 pound rabbit really loves his, he's hard to get off of it to even eat. Of course its been below 10 degrees here for days.
