How loud is this? It's important that it be silent because I live with my in-laws :s

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.

Compared to similar products this is relatively quiet on low speed which is adequate for our needs. The higher speed is a little louder. Background music can help to mask the sound.

I use it for my herniated neck and back. Using the speed control keeps the sound to a fairly quiet level. I sometimes use it for 15 or 20 minutes on my neck...I use a low speed and to me it's quiet. Of course I'm usually in my living room and watching TV. It doesn't interfere with hearing the TV. I hope this helps to make your decision.

It's pretty loud. I have thin walls and I always have my tv or radio on when my roommate is home. She has never said anything about the sound, but I still like to be careful.

It isn't the quietest device but I'd think you'd be fine if the door was closed. You could consider a low playing radio in the background to mask it more.

It's not very loud. I sleep with the ceiling fan on and this thing too, and sometimes I can't tell if it's on. The fan is basically what you would find in a computer tower so the noise is minimal. A slight humm if anything

Its pretty good, actually! Its not the MOST silent vacuum I've ever owned, but the power to noise ratio far surpasses previous vacuums. Usually with less noise comes a less powerful vacuum. And it has more of a low tone, so it's much less obnoxious. I definitely dont feel like Im disturbing my neighbors. Come to think of it, my roommate has told me, with his bedroom door closed, he can barely hear anything if Im vacuuming the living room.

It is not real loud but is not quite. Our bedroom is right off the kitchen and we do not hear it. I will tell you it works great.

not loud at all. I would use it indoors if we had a room big enough and tall enough

Yes it is very quiet. I am up early and like to "vacuum" before I leave. My downstairs neighbors never even hear it.

It is a bit noisy. You will have to turn up a television or radio if your kitchen is near. Not sonic booms but does get a little annoying.

It is very quiet. As it gets older the air sound gets louder, but my husband uses ours every night while I am sleeping and I don't hear it. Just a swish swish sound. It will not disturb your neighbors, above or below.

It is fairly loud. Nothing that is going to cause issues with neighbors though

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

I agree with Vincent...it's not quiet. I have mine in the restroom next to the bedroom and the echo(of kibbles hitting the bowl) from the tile is quite loud. It's a non-factor given that you no longer need to spend your time putting out food! Highly recommended!!!

Ours doesn't make much of a noise at all, but we don't really know, because we use it only when we're not in the car.Next time we're at our second home, I will check it out, but that's about 3 weeks away.

I wish I could help you but mine is very quiet, in fact I remarked to my husband about how quiet it was.Good luck with this problem.

I'm not sure, we bought this as a gift for my mother in law. She did say it is not loud though.sorry I couldn't be more help.

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.

It is not silent but it is much less noisy then the unit it replaced. I can sleep with it near my nightstand so noise wasn't a factor for me. There are two noise levels, with the compressor on and when the fan is on alone. If you are very noise sensitive this may be an issue for you.

It is not completely silent. There is a little noise but it doesn't bother me even when running in bedroom through the night. I am a light sleeper. When it is on in the living room with other ambient noise you don't notice it. We are happy with it.
