How noisy is it? Think about using this in an office with cubicles and folks working for picking up light popcorn machine 'litter' during the day...

Hmmm, well I guess it depends how thick the carpet is. When I use it on the hardwood floor, it is quieter. I think it would be a bit loud for an office. The motor works harder when the carpet is thicker

While we are delighted with the Quick Lite and it's "As Advertised" performance, it's noise level as it goes about it's business may be a little high for the environment described. On the other hand, you're doing the work, so let 'em live with it!

In my opinion it'd be a little loud for an office with people actively working in it. I can't hear the TV in my fairly small living room over it very well.

I would like to compare the noise with some thing you would relate to but that's dependant on many factors. My opinion is that it would not interrupt conversation. We usually command it to clean when we leave for work or close it in a room alone it's perfect for under the bed you will be amazed with all the dust she comes back with I love it....

We recommend using the BLSTPB-WBL on your desk, the noise level is not as bad as most, but loud enough none the less.

Its not too noisy at all. I was living on the second floor in my building. No complaints from the neighbors.

Can you tell me how loud the noise is or if it makes any noise at all? I need a really quiet one that on one will be able to hear because I'll be using it at work and don't want to irritate my coworkers with a header or fan noise.

We use it in an enclosed basement and it is certainly tolerable for the amount of time it is on. Rough comparison I would say it is about as loud as a vacuum cleaner or a noisy hair dryer.

Hello. It is not noisy at all. In fact it is the sturdiest you will find in the market. The wheels are strong and don't fall apart, unlike many other similar models I have bought from other stores (online and not online). I have had mine for quite some time, we do a lot of laundry every day, and it is still sturdy as when we first mounted. Believe me, no one is pickier than my neighbors. G'd forbid you whistle and you will feel pummeled. I have not had one single complaint. Two neighbors from other floors saw it, liked it and bought it. I hope this helps. Good luck.

Neighbors would definitely would not complain. It is not very loud. I always run at 2/3 capacity and find it is at a very tolerable level. I can imagine putting a towel under it and you almost wouldn't hear it. hope this helps/ i am very happy with this machine.

So I've owned it for almost a year, I think it's more than loud enough but I also bought it mainly for its durability. Depending on what kind of work you do, it should be fine. But I will say if you're using power tools or something loud along those lines, it will not but loud enough to overpower the noise from those. Like when my gf vacuums it can no longer be heard.

No, its not noisy. but you can hear it, its a soft sound maybe like a small fan, its not an annoying sound.

Noise is not excessive, vacuum is great for pet hair removal. I have three cats and they don't mind, however I make sure they are not too close when I use it because they don't like it much.

It is pretty loud, but it moves a ton of air! I use it in my workout room and the noise is fine. If you plan on using it near a TV or while sleeping, it might be a little too loud.

How close are your coworkers? What is the background noise like in the office? This is not a quiet keyboard, but if you have a reasonable level of white noise, or reasonably sized cubes, it won't be an issue.I love this keyboard and would make my coworkers deal even if I sat right next to one.

Definitely. I have owned it for... several months now (6 maybe) and it is excellent. It is quiet enough that I have perhaps used it to catch up some some Minecraft (click-click-click!) at the campus library.I've never tested in a truly noiseless environment (a/c, coworkers, etc...), but for me it's effectively silent.

Not noisy at all. I use mine at 5am while my husband and two children sleep. Very quiet.

Fairly noisy. I would not recommend this machine. Mine is 4 months old and going back to the shop for the 3rd time.
