How loud would you rate this Kettle? I am looking for one that is relatively quiet. I do understand boil will be loud, but what of the other settings

The short scientific answer is around 45 dB I think. When it gets closer to boiling point, the noise is normal and doesnt last long. All electrical boilers have inherent noise inside, it is a trade off though, the more quiet an electrical boilers is, the slowest it would be. I personally compared it with one other brand, it is a little bit louder but functionality, ease of use, lightness and the kettle geometry itself worth.

As I mentioned in previous review, this Kettle died in a short period of time, so I haven't tried other settings yet. It is as loud as others, not too much or very quiet.

I can hear it from my bedroom if I'm awake at 6 AM when it starts automatically in the kitchen/great room area. It doesn't wake me up so it's not that loud but I can hear it...

It's pretty loud. You can definitely hear it from another room when it's boiling. It's an electric kettle, so, it doesn't have any other function other than boiling water.

Hi Caroline, I really love this tea kettle! My previous kettle had a whistler that you could remove and my husband was in the habit of leaving it out so as not to wake the house up. One morning he forgot the kettle and it boiled dry, cracking our cooktop. Expensive lesson! This whistle is attached and is loud but not obnoxious. I choose the style because it is a little old fashioned looking. My other kettle was also le creuset, but the style was no longer available. I would highly recommend this kettle!

I don't think that it is noisy. There is a ticking timer that goes tick-tock tick-tock when I twist the timer to turn it on, and once the water is boiling it's about as loud as a covered pot of boiling water, but that's about it.

Yes, not noisy. Not sure why the Kettle would ever be so close to a TV that the issue would arise.

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.

With owning whistling kettles in the past, I can see how it can get too hot on the handle and top. If I walk away and am not conscious about the time, it can get warm, but I've only had it too hot to handle once. Sounds like it might have been over filled if it boils over. Technically only meant for drip, not massive amounts of coffee or tea.

Hi - This kettle does not make the traditional whistle sound. Once the water starts boiling you will hear (for about 10 seconds) the boiling sound till it automatically shuts off once the water has uniformly boiled completely.

The boiling is audible, but it is literally the sound of water boiling, the unit itself is almost silent. The unit does not whistle. There is an LED light that is illuminated a purple color when the unit is working, and it turns off when the water is at boiling point.

it is quiet compared to other kettles but you cab certainly hear the water boil if you're nearby. the click when finished is louder and can be heard in another room with open doors. mine also died shortly after purchase but the replacement from Amazon is still going strong a years later.

YES! It is quiet, and I rarely hear it boil. If you are going to keep it in your office, plz consider the dimensions to be certain that it will fit where you need it to. I LOVE mine; I use it for jump starting rice, pasta, etc., as well as a cup of tea. It has 3 temps to chose from; I fill it up late every night before I go to bed and turn it on the lowest setting. In the morning, I go reset it to high and press "reboil," while I brush my teeth. I highly recommend this item.

The only noise comes out of it is of the water boiling. The kettle itself has no noise.

Lol I'm sure your doing nothing wrong. My kettle doesn't whistle all that loud.

I got the kettle for my brother, and he loves it. I've tried a couple of times at different settings, and it worked well. My brother says the temps are good. The nice thing is that it's a knob; if it's a little hot to you, just turn it down. There's no digital readout to lie. :)

To me it sounds the same as most others, I mean its not really loud but its not quiet either IMHO, it maybe a little more quiet then most but if you are looking for something that barely has any noise I don't think this is it, but I tell you what its a great toilet tho, never gotten clogged or any problems. Hope that helps.

Not as quiet as I'd like. We don't use the heated water, so really have no experience with that. The cooling, at times, can be heard in an "almost" annoying fashion.

Compared to my others this is quieter, but still has what I call "white noise" when it boils. Its not silent, but diesnt wake up the house in the morning either. Love the temp setting and water stays hot longer.

I would say that the Kalorik kettle doesn't make any more noise than a typical tea kettle does coming to a boil on the stove. The two sounds are comparable in volume except the Kalorik kettle doesn't whistle like you would historically expect from a tea kettle.
