Well it does make some sounds, the water as it is heating it up and when it reaches the end of the water makes a hissing sound the sane as water landing on a red hot coil. Nothing that I would call annoying at all but certainly signaling the end of the brewing. The whole process is only about 2 to 3 minutes. I hope this helps. I enjoy my coffee maker 3 or 4 times a day.

Not loud but could be annoying in an office space. It spurts out hot water to a cup and could some people might consider it loud.

I am returning it. It did not brew a good cup of coffee with either ground or k cups. It also hissed and splattered all around. Sorry, it looks good but does not work well.

it's just like a keurig when it gets to the end of the brewing process and pushes out the last of the hot water it can be loud in a very quiet environment. it's only a few seconds, but could be disturbing to some folks, I suppose.

My K-Cup coffee maker is very quiet and the coffee it makes is very good.All though the K-Cups that you buy in the store are expensive.I've bought an after market plastic K-Cup(Walmart) that fits this coffee maker fine.I fill it with the rite amount of coffee,close the top and push the on button.This after market k- cup makes a mug of coffee.The K-Cup coffee you buy in the store will only make a six ounce cup of coffee.It's a good cup of coffee but not enough of it.I hope this will help you out some what.

The brewing on this is quiet, however when it is done it lets out about 2-3 burts of steam which is loud.

It's a little loud, but no louder than any other coffee grinder. Fortunately, it's super portable - I have two roommates, so if I'm up early, I pour the beans in there and take it into the bathroom, grind, then take it back to the kitchen and put in coffee maker. No one hears it from the bathroom...

No. This is actually a pretty quiet brewer other than the normal perculating noise. I hope this helps. And it is a gorgeous machine:)

It is quieter than my last treadmill (when I don't have my iPod plugged in to use the built in speakers and play my music loud). We have the treadmill in a bedroom which is near two other bedrooms and shut the door and it doesn't bother anyone. I will say we are a family that sleeps with fans running so maybe that is an added buffer to the treadmill sound. I do not think it is noisy. The only issue is a bad design where the cover is located at your feet - you step on it occassionally. We fixed this problem by adding a 1-1/4" wood dowelling that fits into the handles perfectly and hold onto the dowel instead of the built-in handle bars. I can send you a pic if interested if you give an email address. It is quieter than my last treadmill (when I don't have my iPod plugged in to use the built in speakers and play my music loud).

My wife says: The machine does not make any more or less noise than any other machine she uses. It does make a peculiar noise when powered up to "rehome" the needle to exact center if it is not already there. This is normal, but there is noting in the user manual about this. In general, she thinks that it IS pretty quiet and adds that it is a very good machine. Mike

On a scale from 1 to 10, the noise is a 3. I dont think you can hear it in another room with a door closed; however, you have to constantly hold the milk dispenser as it comes out, therefore, causing the machine to stop. I would actually exchange it but being a coffee addict, i cannnot afford to be without a cup of coffee even a day :) the machine makes super delicious lattes an cappuccinos :)

Yes -That's what mine sounds like as well...much quieter than a traditional espresso machine... Enjoy!

I had this in an office next to a Keurig. The Verismo was much louder than the Keurig, but not so loud as to be a distraction to our office environment which is fairly quiet. The Verismo makes a vibrating/hum type noise as it draws water from the tank to heat. Hope that helps!

This machine started off quiet, but soon after started squeaking at the handles. I live in a house so no neighbors to bother but I still use a mat under it. The main noise for me are the handles that squeak at random. Not a really big deal for me. I still love it. Good luck!!

I do not think it is that loud. No more than any other. We make two loaves of French bread a week, it does work the machine, but mixes well and the bowl is big enough to keep the dough inside. I tried this machine for the price and I am pleased with it. I use it about every other day with something and I would purchase it again when I wear this one out.

It is pretty loud when it is brewing but does not make any noise after that. It takes about an hour to brew 100 cups and then it is quiet. It makes random thud noises while brewing.

Ours doesn't make loud and noisy sounds when brewing. You can sometimes hear the water reheating in the reservoir if you are close to the kitchen when it cycles, but that is about the noisiest it gets.

It's not quiet. I used a sound level meter to compare it to a couple other units and it's literally 10-20 times louder. The sound it makes is also particularly annoying.

We have the noise problem as well with the B60. It's jarring and is indicative of engineering scrimping to save a few bucks in the design of the machine. It's a disconnect I don't understand -- make a world-class coffee maker that's handicapped by its extraordinary noise whenever the pump is in use. As for "instantly," well, I can wait the whole 60 seconds while the machine warms up after it's turned on. If I were drinking coffee throughout the day, I might do differently, but since I only drink it in the morning, I only turn it on in the morning.

It is loud but not so you can hear it on a different floor. If it was that loud I would not want it. When I go to an area that is far away I TAKE IT WITH ME TO THAT AREA. The unit is light so there is no problem. It beeps for about 30 seconds before it shuts off.

yes - it is loud and it does vibrate. But in my experience, this is generally the case with all high pressure espresso machines.
