Does this fountain splash water and is the sound of water loud, or is the water not falling directly into the water?

The sound is soft and no splashes..ours was a feral cat originally. One reason i ordered this is because our cat likes water moving and when she had just a water dish, she would splash the water to stir it up and scoop the water. This behavior stopped when we got the Avalon.

The water pours over the top and down into the water below. It doesn't splash outside of the fountain. Mine fountain seemed to make more of a falling water sound when I first got it, but I don't seem to notice it anymore. Maybe I have just gotten used to it, but even when noticed it was a peaceful sound.

The fountain is loud to me..but my dogs love it. I put a STRIP of cotton cloth across the top through the groves for the water and it makes no noise at all now.

The only water that splashes is from my cat playing in it, not from the fountain itself. The water does trickle into the water. Sounds like an indoor fountain. Have it in the kitchen, yes you can hear it but not annoying.

No, I have not noticed that the fountain splashes wateroutside of the bowl. The fountain is somewhat noisey, however. Wether or not this noise is objectional I guess is up to the listener. The cats don't seem to mind at all.

No it doesn't splash at all. Of course, if you turn a faucet on full blast it might, but I don't.

A waterfall? Check for clogs... It makes a modest amount of noise but I wouldnt say its loud.. Try cleaning it out and if that doesn't work contact Crane.

It is noisy when the water level goes down. you need to refill and maintain a higher water level to avoid the noise.

The pump does not make much noise...it's quiet unless the water level is below the intake.P

No problems at all. Water does not splash onto the counter. I love this faucet- and believe me I have had many over the years. I purchased it because my daughter in law has one and I liked it so much that I had to have it when we remodeled our kitchen.

Don't think it's splash resistant. It does have a layer of plastic on the top of the unit to prevent water from dripping into it. Over all it's not a bad unit. We are very happy with it.

It holds lots of water. The water falls from the top section down into the bottom. It was noisy, but quieted when I took the filter out. I like it a lot, and so does my cat...when she isn't drinking from my decorative fountains.

Well I don't know about the sink with kids, but I do have a very messy husband and we haven't had any problems yet. Very minimal splashing, if any. I would say it's exactly the same as any built in sink. The sides of the sink are more that enough to contain the water and there is no splashing when the water comes out of the faucet. Super easy to install too.

We haven't had that problem and our 5 yr. old still acts like a kitten. Worst problem we've had is a little wetness around the bowl from kitty playing with the water. It's a cool fountain in that it has 2 top reservoirs and the waterfall.

I don't know how taking air out (of what?) would make any difference. It is very noisy but that's due to the design of the "waterfall catch". It's not broad enough to make the water cascade slow/wide enough to be quiet. We mute it by putting a small bowl that fits just over the top of the ledge and rests on the bottom of the fountain. It cuts the sound way down.

The water flows down a ramp. Also just a word of warning. I have a cat that loves to play in the water and she often knocks the top askew which makes the water flow out onto the floor.

It is loud.... but enjoyable! My only complaint.... the water here discolors plastic of the pump and the barrel.... really like the fountain though.

There is a low hum sound, but usually it's only noisy when the water level is low. I don't find it bad at all.

There was some splashing and a bit of a hum, but that didn't seem to bother our cats, and we sleep far removed from the location where we had the fountain. Unfortunately it also died despite the automatic shut off feature, which did work successfully one time. Not sure what killed it but that's the last fountain we are ever buying, despite the fact that our cat adores them.

This fountain makes no noise at all. I've tried MANY fountains, and my cats always insisted on drinking out of the bathtub. I got this fountain and they love it!! Plus it's so easy to clean. I recommended it to my vet and she bought one and is going to recommend it to her clients.

it's not noisy at all I can barely hear it unless the water level in the tank is really low then you can hear the water fall, but the filter itself is quiet.
