How loud is it? Will it disrupt my coworkers if I keep it at my desk?

This does make audible percolating noises while brewing--a full pot takes about 10 minutes to brew, but is not loud or annoying. If you work in a cube farm it will likely not be heard by anyone but your closest neighbors.

It is very quiet. You barely hear a few bubbles during the few minutes it takes to brew your tea. Noise is something you will barely notice.

That's a good question. The teapot gurgles while it's heating. It isn't very loud at all, and actually is a pleasant and gentle sound. In my opinion, it wouldn't bother co-workers. It is attractive, too.

Not sure. I purchased for my step son. He loves it and didn't mention sound issues. He uses in dorm rm. .

There is only the sound of boiling water for a few seconds and then it shuts off. Shouldn't be a problem.

Hi, Sorry about my delayed response. I ordered this fridge for a student lounge area, so I'm not sure if the noise it makes in there would be bothersome in an office setting. Dave

It isnt extremely noisy but after a lot of use it starts to get louder. I wouldn't use it at the office because it gives off a whirling sound that some people find annoying. I like to use it at home when I'm watching tv where the only people around who I can bother are my roommates. Try it out though and see if anyone has a problem with it.

It is quiet. Just a quiet low hum so you could have it under your desk and would probably hardly hear it.

It does make a loud Click when it begins and there is a noise when the water heats. But if you are in an office setting where there is other ambient noise I don't think it would be that disruptive. However, it is pretty large for a desk. It is about the same size as a regular coffee make but taller.

I'm curious about the noise level in a quiet office environment too. I'm sure it wouldn't interrupt anyone, but would everyone in the vicinity hear the sounds it makes while operating?

Not loud but could be annoying in an office space. It spurts out hot water to a cup and could some people might consider it loud.

I use the fan literally on my desk, and it is quiet enough so that I'm not aware of it when I'm working (other than the breeze :-). Now that I'm listening for it, it does produce a soft "whooshing" noise. It's hard to hear if you're more than 5 feet away from it. I hope this helps you.

I agree with Alexander. I use mine in a shared office workspace and I have not received any complaints. It is a tad noisier than a normal keyboard but I wouldn't worry about it, the benefits of using it far out-way any subtle/minor noise annoyance it might/could cause.

Oh no. This sets on my desk in an open cube and it is very quiet. You'll be amazed. Hope this helps.

You would have to be playing it so loud to the point of damaging your eardrumbs for anyone else to hear it. I wear mine at the office where I sit next to other employees all day and it doesn't bother anyone.

I purchased it for my wife to use at her work. She said it is a lot louder than the last one they had. They thought it was jamming up the first time they used it.

It is more of a loud whine. People on all sides of my cubicle could hear it, even the ones that sit diagonal. Fan only worked for 2 hours. Might want t try something different.

It is not quiet per say but it isnt the loudest one I have had... I would not get it if you are trying to not let other hear you, if that makes sence.

It is very quiet. I've never noticed any noise and it sits on my desk in a quiet office.
