Is it noisy? Small rooms, thin walls. Can one person vacuum in one room and another have a conversation in adjoining room?

We find the Panasonic moderately noisy when the rug-beater brushes are whirling. Not enough to be a deal breaker but that would depend on the buyer's hearing sensitivity.

No. mine is not loud at all. The suction is very strong so you have to be careful when vacuuming.

I think it is louder then a full size vacuum cleaner. It's pretty loud. Haha.

On carpet it is a little noisier than my last vaccuum ( which wasn't a Hoover) but it isn't terrible. The vaccuum works SO incredibly well that I'm ok with the noise, but again it isn't substantially noisier than any other vaccuum I have used. The one situation where this vaccuum is very noisy, is when you vaccuum bare floor with the rollers. If you click off the rollers (with a simple foot press) and use suction only on the bare floor , that makes the noise drop significantly. I use suction only on my bare floors and it picks up everything. Hope this helps.

I have a small shop and the dust collector is very much in the open. I is not as loud as I expected. Not quiet, but significantly less noise than my shop vac, table saw, etc.

Ive only ever had german vacuums, SEBO (which I think is much better to be honest) and the MIELE. However, MIELE do claim to be one of the quietest. There are a number of You tube videos showing it in action so that will give you a better idea of the sound.

Its pretty good, actually! Its not the MOST silent vacuum I've ever owned, but the power to noise ratio far surpasses previous vacuums. Usually with less noise comes a less powerful vacuum. And it has more of a low tone, so it's much less obnoxious. I definitely dont feel like Im disturbing my neighbors. Come to think of it, my roommate has told me, with his bedroom door closed, he can barely hear anything if Im vacuuming the living room.

I can tell a difference when the vacuum is on, but it is not very loud. I would say it adds a little but not a whole lot of noise. Make sure the red screw that is there for shipping is removed...if your system is very noisey you may want to contact support.

I would compare it to the sound of two blow dryers going at once. We have ours in our spare room upstairs and I can sit right next to it and talk on the phone without the other person even knowing it's on!

No, it's super quiet. No one would know what you were doing. The only noise it makes is a soft suction noise, but only you and maybe the person next to you would be able to hear it.

It quieter that a vacuum cleaner. It should be quiet enough considering the restaurant noise level.

No, I have not experienced a noisy vacuum. Vacuum on the soldering iron is basically silent. I used the vacuum parts picker in the past, and my recollection is that it was louder than the vacuum on the iron, but not by much. Make certain that you have removed the red screw from the bottom of the unit. It makes all kinds of odd (and wrong!) sounds unless that is removed.

Yeah i would say it's a tad loud. Especially if you use the vacuume. That being said, it's literally never crossed my mind before now.

It's noisy, but the sound itself it's from the air passing through the vents.... I could survive on a smaller room.... the unit could cold the environment quickly.

Yes it is very quiet. I am up early and like to "vacuum" before I leave. My downstairs neighbors never even hear it.

Not really very noisy. If it's a cubicle they could probably hear, but if in an office with the full wall I doubt it.
