How loud is it? Can you run it without waking the family up?

It's not as loud as something like a vitamix, but it's not quiet either. You could probably put a towel over the grinder and muffle the sound.

it isn't very quiet when running. however, I plan on using it mainly for power outages, so the loudness won't be a problem. And it will be running a ways from the house. If you are concerned about loudness, such as for a campsite where it would be run daily, you might want to check the data on several before purchasing one. hope this helps you.

No it won't wake the neighbors but it's pretty loud especially on high. It works so fast though you won't have to run it very long. I have owned mine for about 15 months and I use it everyday. The best appliance I have ever owned.

It is fairly loud... The tv could drown it out if it was turned up a bit. Totally worth it if you can cover up the noise.

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

It's pretty loud. I run it at night and it acts like white noise so it never bothers me. It does an excellent job though.

It is not loud at all. About the same volume as a regular room heater or fan.

I don't find that this unit is loud. We do not even notice it running. We have had other issues as my original review states but fortunately the loudness was not one of them.

It is loud but I don't think it is too bad. My 7 sleep up against a wall with my twins on the other side and they are not disturbed by the sound.

It's still slightly noisy. Definitely okay to play if others are around the house doing their own thing, but it's not like can play it while others are sleeping.

It's loud but not obnoxious, we use it in the bedroom and it does not effect the rest of the house.

Not louder at all. Of course you won't use a vacuum while somebody is sleeping. ;)

Mine isn't loud, I was able to leave it running in the kitchen and hear the tv in that room without turning it up.

I don't know the exact decibel level. It makes noise but I have not found it terribly loud. You wouldn't want to use it near when anyone nearby was sleeping.

I can't hear it running in the house with the windows closed. I have no problem carrying on a conversation, without screaming, standing right next to it when it is running . It is quieter than my lawn mower, pressure washer and snow blower. It's quieter then I expected it to be.

It is much louder than average. I have a 15 yr old son that sleeps through must alarms but not this because it can be turned up really high. Hope this help with your choice!

Comfortably loud. I usually run it in another room and shut the door. Works real well!!
