Is it loud? Can I use in my office?

Not loud at all. Use it in the office, just don't let them catch you smiling! My wife has foot surgery and uses it every day. I love it because I don't need to do the foot rubs! This machine is the best thing out there for foot relief. V

It is quiet. Just a quiet low hum so you could have it under your desk and would probably hardly hear it.

It is not loud. It;s very quiet. You can hear it while using it but it would to disturb others in an office.

First of all, I have a hearing problem - so please take that into consideration. I do not find this machine loud. Will someone coming into your office hear it? Yes. But will they have to talk louder to overcome it, absolutely not. To me, the sound it makes is similar to the someone using a paper shredder, but not nearly as loud. It won't disturb the people in the office next to you, if this is your concern. This machine will relax your feet and I find a 15 minute session gives great foot relief.

Ours is in an office laboratory with other noises as well so I can't really say if it's noisy. The only time I really hear it is when I open the door. Hopefully this helps with your decision.

Sure, why not? I would recommend it in a smaller room due to its cfm rating. Just remember it is louder than most reviews state. The noise has not been a problem for me, I wanted something with style, not all white plastic.

It is not loud, but there is a little fan noise that goes along with it, so it is kind of a quiet white noise. Larger units may be a bit louder.

It is not too noisy. On the other hand I used it in a kitchen where the noise level is higher then in an office. Good luck.

Neither loud nor quiet. It's not as noisy as a Model M or as soft as a laptop keyboard. I think it is appropriate for shared offices (I use it in one).

I did not find it to be loud at all, but I was always using it at home on a soft surface. I can see how it would sound much louder if placed on a hard surface like a desk.

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.

It's very quiet. I've had it in my office for several years now and have had no problems.

About average PC noise. Definitely not quiet. It is best to put it in a remote place where you won't hear it. It's quiet enough for an office but not for a media/TV room.

It is loud for a small room (although I have used it in my living room and was actually able to talk on the phone but it was just a lot of background noise), but I used it indoors during a party at a rental hall in a firehouse and it was fine.

Not loud. You have to be within a few feet to hear it. If you install it on a different floor or in a location you don't frequent you probably will not hear it. Look elsewhere.

This would depend on many variables of the building such as size of building, openness, how sound proof, etc. I will say that it is quite loud and I can hear it over the printer in my office which is at least 35 feet from the outer office and front door. I am very pleased with this product.

Absolutely. I use it at work in my cubicle And it runs silent. It does not disturb anyone.

It's not loud at all I own 4 of them and they are all in my computers at home. They work great. U should buy one and try it out.

It depends on people using it. It is quite enough for me. You can lower the noise by setting the heat under "Hi"

I use them at my office...you may have to find the optimal volume...but I didn't receive any complaints.
