No, the neighbors will not think a swarm of their favorite winged insects are attacking. It"s a lot LESS noisy than your average lawn mower.

I do not think it is loud and I believe it shreds reasonable fast. It really depends on your standard by which you judge it.

Yes. It's loud. Boat and backyard no problem.Keep in mind when portable it takes D batteries. I plan to get rechargeables when spring comes around.

It is loud when it first starts.. But after the swing and motor sync it quiets down.. Not silent, but not loud. Hope that helps

Louder than a residential lawn mower--probably less than a portable generator since they do have some housing around them to buffer the sound.

That's an interesting question. No, it is not as loud as like a weed wacker, not even close. It does make noise because it's mechanical and water is being pumped at a high speed. I would compare the noise to my Phillips Sonicare toothbrush. I've used one of these for the past ten years and I get high marks from my dentist, even if he didn't recommend that I use one.

No, no it's not. However, I would not expect something with this much power to be very quiet while pulverizing fresh pineapple.

Generators are not what I would call quiet. Compares to a gasoline lawn mower would be accurate.

The housing on this generator dampens its noise very well. It is MUCH less noisy than a portable generator on a frame.My old Sears lawn mower is LOUDER than my Generac. It makes about the same noise as an average lawn tractor at medium RPM.

It's not loud at all...honestly I don't even notice it or thought about it till you questioned it. I'd say it's my blow dryer is louder than the blower.

It's about as loud as the ice crusher on the door of the refrigerator. But it works really fast, so the noise hasn't bothered me at all.

About the same as most clippers, I think. I use this to cut my own hair, and don't find it particularly loud next to my ear, but it is noisy.

No. Its not very loud at all. The problem is the gauge is not accurate, and it seems they've known about the issue but haven't fixed it yet. It will also blow fuses if you're not careful.

I wouldn't say that it is super noisy, but the noise is very much like a real chain saw, just taken down a few notches. I prefer that my son plays with it outside where he can pretend to cut down trees!

The machine itself is not loud at all. Its the whine the blade makes when cutting that is loud.

Not as noisy as gas saw. It seems though, that noise and power are closely related.Not as powerful as gas saw.

I got it only for emergency's so I haven't used it much. I don't think it sounds too loud, less than a small home lawnmower in idle.
