This is one of the best blower that I ever seen but it is pretty loud and I would recommend to wear ear plugs.

it is tolerably loud. the decibel rating is 69 and it does get up to 240mph. i did purchase ear plugs for my son and for myself. you could use it without earplugs, but i would not recommend it for the long haul. also if you have a lot of dry leaves; dirt and/or debris I would definitely recommend a face mask as well (nose and mouth guard). It is a powerful machine and I am extremely pleased with mine. we also got protective eyewear as a precaution.

Very "quiet" for it's size. NOT as noisy or loud as a Briggs & Stratton push or riding lawn mower. It is governed at a constant speed (noise level & pitch). I cannot hear mine (8,000 watts) in the house. I can hear it if I stand in the enclosed porch (which it is just outside of). Standing right in front of the exhaust you can carry-on a "normal" coversation. I would compare the noise level to that of my step-father's honda riding mower (very quiet mower). We are extreamly happy with this unit. No complaint what-so-ever. Installation is a snap, very basic and easy (using the transfer switch reccomended). Very "quiet" for it's size.

The specifications state that the noise level inside is 56 dBA. I can tell you that this unit seems to have a powerful blower which really delivers a lot of cool air which offsets the rather noisy sound of the blower fan as far as I am concerned. I have noticed that it is rather unusual to find a good air conditioner that really pumps out a lot of cool air to do the job you need it to do. So, you may have to sacrifice the sound level and just turn up the TV or stereo if it bothers you. As for me, I would rather have the cool air when I am hot. Love this little air conditioner!

Well it is noisey but I can't tell how noisey her's is. It's not as noisey as my old vacuum but it's definitely not quiet. I wouldn't recommend you buying this vacuum either way. It's not very good and is overpriced.

"Very loud"? I owned two of these after trying out three different brands/models in the last five years, and both were average noise level of a desktop computer fan. I would say if the noise you're hearing resembles something louder than a desktop computer running, then some thing is up. Good luck!

The noise level is negligible.I had a 9.6 volt and I thought it was sweet until I got the 8220 it is super smooth and rotate 5000 RPMs Faster than my previous model and might even have less operational noise. I really love it.

It's def louder than a portable generator. If you start it up and don't hear it, you better go check on it. Having said that tho, I don't mean to say that it is distractingly noisy, just that you're going to hear it running.

I would definitely look for quieter fan. Scale of 1-10 . 10 being loudest. This fan would be a 7. You can insulate it and make it quieter. There is some really quiet fans out there. Most people use these in attics or in an insulated box. Google it and there is alot of info out there.

Not sure what you mean by 'noise level'. You know this is not a generator, right? The only time it makes noise is when you use the compressor for air inflation. Other than that, you won't get noise complaints from neighbors if you use it to power a TV or computer.

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.

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.

It's not listed in the owner's manual, you should call the manufacturer. Click on the owners manual in the following link. I'm satisfied with the noise level on the MAC700 in comparison to other portable compressors. This is my fourth compressor and I wouldn't trade it for anything else. http://www.makita.com/en-us/Modules/Tools/ToolDetails.aspx?Name=MAC700

Hello, according to a review I read in "Fine Woodworking" magazine, the rated noise level is 83 db. I have owned this dust collector for almost 3 years. The noise level is much less than my large craftsman shop vacuum. I do run the Delta in another section of the garage/shop though so much of the noise is behind a wall. If you do opt to purchase this or a similar system, I recommend placing it behind a wall and not directly in your shop space if that is possible. You can get a remote on/off switch if it is out of sight and reach. Another tip is to get an Oneida "Super Dust Deputy" cyclonic dust separator to run with the machine. This keeps almost all dust and chips out of the dust collector, keeping the filter bag cleaner so the machine runs more efficiently for a longer period of time between cleaning or replacing bags. Good luck! This machine gets with the program and gets the job done in a small shop like mine.

No really quiet or loud.... If you want power it makes noise, but less than a vacuum cleaner !!!

The noise level is about that of a vacum cleaner. The air noise is like air from a compressor. Depends on your neighbors . I can dry by toyota 4 runner in about 15 minutes. (completely dry)

It's very loud. Can't do anything else while its on. But its a great dust collector and very efficient. Just not quiet. Louder than a shop vac.

This blower is ver powerful so you probably should get a cheaper less powerful one.
