Is it very loud? I saw a video for another brand foot massager and it sounded really loud.

No very quiet. I have one for my use and sent one to my brother for him to use. He told me that he loved the machine and it has given him improved foot health. I would recommend this one to anyone considering a foot massager....

Not loud at all. Can have it on and still have a conversation without any difficulty. It got a lot of attention and use over the holidays.

It's not completely silent, but I don't believe it's loud. It doesn't squeeze pretty tight, so you do have to get used to that!

It does make soft sounds but it's not that loud like others. I bought this over a year for my 55 year dad and he still likes it. I wish I had one too

No ours is very quiet, gives out a little humming noise but not much. My wife uses it and watches tv during usage.

Yeah i would say it's a tad loud. Especially if you use the vacuume. That being said, it's literally never crossed my mind before now.

I really did like it too! I bought the Kendall Shiatsu leg massager and have been satisfied with it. A lot of stress was in my calves and it actually helped more!

The question is how do you quantify a "very loud" noise. What may seem loud to you may not seem loud to me at all. Of course, with age, most things are not as loud as they were! I would suggest going to a store that has a shaver display and run one to see how it compares to yours. Mine does make noise but it is not too loud to me. You can also see if anyone posted a video shaving (I think there are several) to hear the noise as well. Good luck.

not any louder than any other massager I have used. however, I didn't keep this massager as it was too small and didn't help my neck much. I ended up buying a professional massager instead. I bought a Homedics Model PA1100A which is a professional percussion massager that many chiropractors use. The new one gives me a better massage and gets the circulation going to my neck which has been injured in four whiplash injuries. Hope this helps.

I've had the massager for a while. The one i got came with removable foot rollers. I don't care for the rollers but enjoy relaxing my feet in the sustained heated water. It's worth the money if you will benefit for this type of therapy. Make sure you can roll it to a location that you can drain the water using the attached short hose. It is very heavy to lift when full of water but not too heavy for someone able to lift 35-45 pounds.

Very quiet. Can't hear it run in quiet room. Well designed & built, but much larger than expected. Excellent massage but poor instructions. Very strong massage may be too rough for many. Not designed for extremely wide feet.

I would say it's definitely not quiet. And for me, has gotten louder after a season of use (I now have vibration noises).

Yes, it's very quiet. Also, it depends on the shoes you're wearing. The lighter the shoes, the better but strictly speaking of the motor itself, it is very quiet. I hope this helps!

Yeah it's pretty loud I have wood floors too. But my guy has now decided to unscrew it instead of rolling it so the problem is solved for me!!!

no, it does make a loud sound, but it makes your legs and feet feel really good.

Yikes, sorry to hear that. I guess it's all relative. It's loud without being abrasive. I have decent hearing, so I liked that it gradually increases (over about 15-30 seconds) so I can usually turn it off before it gets too loud. I have used it in two different apartments and can always hear it, even while in the shower. But it typically doesn't seem to stir my sleeping fianc, who is a very heavy sleeper. Hope this helps.

My wife says: The machine does not make any more or less noise than any other machine she uses. It does make a peculiar noise when powered up to "rehome" the needle to exact center if it is not already there. This is normal, but there is noting in the user manual about this. In general, she thinks that it IS pretty quiet and adds that it is a very good machine. Mike

Pretty loud...just like my old one. I got it mainly for the 'not so hot' HIGH heat. It's good in this area. I just turned it on so I could give you a good answer...it's loud. I'm still looking for one that is less forceful and less loud. The low heat is not loud at all and does a good job. With my thin hair I don't have to use the high heat very long before turning it to low heat. I do like this unit better than my old one...the regular high voltage one. Hope this helps.

First of all, I have a hearing problem - so please take that into consideration. I do not find this machine loud. Will someone coming into your office hear it? Yes. But will they have to talk louder to overcome it, absolutely not. To me, the sound it makes is similar to the someone using a paper shredder, but not nearly as loud. It won't disturb the people in the office next to you, if this is your concern. This machine will relax your feet and I find a 15 minute session gives great foot relief.

Even on "light" the shiatsu massage is pretty strong. The first time I used it, the bottoms of my feet were a little sore the next morning -- but I've found if I don't press down on my heels when I'm using it, it's perfect. I love my Shiatsu Foot Massager and use it almost nightly.
