Is this dryer quieter (lower pitched) than the usual in home dryer (high pitched)? Thank you!

I tried my other dryer , just to see if there was a difference in noise, and there really wasn't. Both dryers are around the same price point, so maybe they are both quieter than a cheap brand. Honestly, I've never been bothered by the sound, and I don't think its high pitched. I recommend this dryer if you have curly hair. All dryers will make your hair frizzy if you don't have the right products in your hair. I use deva curl products and my hair is never frizzy as long as I use them.

No, honestly it's the same as any other hair dryer you would get at the drug store. Don't waist your money like I did.

I can't remember. I returned it after one use because it made my hair frizzy.

Lower pitched. I am sensitive to sound and I was afraid it would be terrible.

Our dryer is pretty loud (a commercial unit in our building), and I can't hear them at all. I will say I've tried the plastic balls in the past, and they made a lot of noise.

Not especially, it's quieter than a hair dryer... I actually switched back to using a round brush and hair dryer a few months ago though because this hot airbrush sparked, started smoking and died. It lasted a long time though prior to that though :)

I use the high heat setting. It is still working fine for me. I used to have one of those awful table top dryers that was so loud, would fall over, and never dried my hair. My hairdresser has this exact dryer for home use which is why I chose this one. I really like this dryer. Obviously with every electronic device there can be a dud in the bunch but my dryer is still working great.

Mine is quiet but it depends on which setting you use. If it's on the lowest and is still very loud then there is an issue.

traditional dryers can easily get rattling noise if something small gets sucked into the filtering process... but This one I doubt that is much of an issue, I've had mine about that long, and I don't have a rattling noise. Try slowly rotating the inner drum, and see if something 'moves' inside (aka... drops b/c it was ontop of the drum or something else, or something inside the inner 'bumps' that push the cloths)

Yes. Very quiet. I love mine. I have had it for about 5 months now and so far it has been worth the money I paid.

It is not low noise. Can't here over it. Maybe like a blow dryer, Bounce house is great though! Have a 3, 4, and 1 yr old All love it

I would not say this one is a quiet hair dryer. It is not horribly loud but just not quiet. If you find that special "quiet" hair dryer, please update me. LOL

Well, I think quiet is relative. It's a lot less noisy than some blow dryers I've owned, but it still makes noise...more like an air blowing "hum" than a loud gushing air sound. Hope that makes sense!

I don't think it is very loud, about the same as a lower setting on a hair dryer. My dogs don't bark at it like the hair dryer.

I would not describe it as quiet. But I know what you mean, it's not quite as loud as other travel dryers.

I do not feel that my shredder is loud. There is no high pitch sound as it shreds just a lower pitch, not unlike most shredders. The loudness while shredding changes just a bit depending on the number of sheets being shredded at a time. I am very happy with this shredder.

I have 2 of these units, and I don't notice any high pitched sounds. It's very quite. I highly recommend this

No, the machine is quiet. While you are spraying you can talk to the person in a normal voice and understand what they are saying. It is quieter than a blow dryer

It's pretty loud. I wouldn't use it when anyone else is sleeping because it would wake them. It's not quite as loud as hair dryer but it's still pretty loud.

In my tests, the average hair dryer was much louder than 80dBs on High: many were over 100dBs on high when measured 4 inches from the motor. This Centrix was the quietest one I tested, when on the Low setting (78.93 dBs), and the 3rd quietest when on High (88.77 dBs). But it was the weakest one of them all -- only 1500 watts. I tested two other models that were quieter on High, and they were both 1600 watts.
