Is this product quiet enough for the office, without disrupting others?

Yes it is Quiet, but the motors bite into your body, they have no padding, I returned mine...

Depending on the office, I would say yes. I'm very happy with it. it's not too hot and you can deicide the level of vibrating and over your whole back or certain parts. The timer is for up to 30 minutes, but not very hard to turn back on. I use it driving down the road and I'm very careful when i drive. I've learned how to pick up the remote and know what buttons to push for what I want done without looking. I have fibromyalgia and my muscles are very touchy. Trigger points, if pushed too hard, feel like knives digging in. I can't turn on the jets in a hot tub. This has enough padding and doesn't set off my trigger points.

I guess it depends on how quiet your office is. I just asked my coworker who is about 15 feet away and she said that she could barely hear it.

It's very quiet. I've had it in my office for several years now and have had no problems.

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's loud enough that I wouldn't put it in an open space where people are working. With the door shut on our server closet, I can still hear it a little bit (I sit about 20' from it) because of the vent duct between the office and the closet.

To me not too bad, yes, it can be quieter but eventually I put the unit underneath my desk not because it is too loud, i just need more space. I also have a lot of drives on or underneath my desk, so it really doesn't matter for me. If you only one drive and a super minimalist then you might reconsiderate.

Quiet is a subjective term :) but I would say yes. We have it in our bedroom and noise has not been an issue.

I have it in a very small office and the only noise you hear is a small clink noise when it starts and stops. otherwise it is very quiet. alot quieter than my large frige at home.

In my opinion it'd be a little loud for an office with people actively working in it. I can't hear the TV in my fairly small living room over it very well.

Yes it is, I really enjoy mine at work. loud enough with descent sound, but doesn't bother any one else.

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.

It is quiet. Don't buy if you plan on using it on surfaces other than a table or desk.

This unit is fairly quiet. If you are doing audio editing without headphones then I think you might have an issue but otherwise I haven't noticed its volume while I am working.

Not at all. I use it in small groups, chapels, classrooms, all places where it needs to be quiet so I don't have to talk over it.

Summer, Because I use this keyboard in my home office, I never thought about its level of "quietness." And too, I usually listen to music when I'm on my PC. But as I typed this response, I turned my music off and deliberately listened. And I was very aware of the fact that I did hear every keystroke. So, this may not be quiet enough for you. I hope this helps... All the best with your search.

I've used it for meetings and movie watching without noticing the fan noise. I would say it is not bothersome.

It is not really noisy, but you can kind of hear it a little bit, don't think it would be a problem.....just kind of a hummm.
