Dampen the noise? Happy with the blender so far but it's really loud. Anyone have solutions other than earplugs (like wrapping the bottom with a towel or whatever)?

I put mine on a pad on the countertop. It seems to help quite a bit. An extra potholder, or a folded kitchen towel. Plus, it makes it easier to move it around the counter w/o picking it up.

Well, there is no solution, lol. It is really loud! But, on the upside, it does a terrific job, and I don't run mine all day long, lol. I have an Alexa, which is more pleasant to the ears for playing music, lol! So, I bear it for the 30 seconds tops that it is in use when I make a smoothie.

At Smoothie King, they have plexiglass cabinets around the blenders that lift up like a hatchback for easy control access. For homemade, a clear box that sets over the blenders shouldn't be too hard.

My last blender was a cheap Oster. I just turned on my Dash blender to listen specifically to the loudness of this blender. I think it is quieter than my last blender for sure. I still think blenders are loud in general. I hope this is helpful.

When you run the item thru the juicer, not quiet but it's literally 2 seconds or so. When it's on, you can still hold a conversation. Certainly quieter then a blender.

Hi Bonnie The motor should not have a loose sound. I would send back for a replacement. The blender is awesome I think you'll love it.

Don't see answer to my question recapping loudness of machine. I am a customer. I just received my Ninja. It works fine but have to wear earplugs when operating it.

Yes it is pretty loud. not as loud as crushing ice in a blender but far from quiet. To work properly you need about a tray of ice. It's a pretty situational appliance but it does come in very handy when unexpected guests stop by and you have no chilled ice. how well it works 8/10, how practical it is 5/10. very cool item over though.

It can be quite noisy even with TV or music on, but good news...I found a way to suppressed it, simply by using some sort of lubricant over the pad and eh voila, problem disappeared...I personally use ' RUSTCURE' by FORMULA 3000..you can use something similar to that...good luck

How close are your neighbors? My kids say they can hear it from upstairs and all conversations and TV programs get put on pause when it is running. It isn't horrible it isn't stealthy either. If you are blending ice or frozen fruit then it is even louder than when you are just blending raw veggies. It is still totally worth it though! It is a great product.

It's me again...I read the reply from the other person. The directions suggest that you buy a spray can of lubricant to use on the underside of the belt periodically (silicon, I think). The information is in the owner's manual. I think this would have solved the other person's noise problem.

This has not happened when I used mine. Most of my use has been with TV. Good luck in finding a solution to yours. Extraneous noises are very distracting.

Is the area you're using it in large enough that you could move it to another room, or behind furniture? I don't notice the high-pitch noise so much but the growling motor is pretty loud to me, and so I use it in a central g room where it's not such a nuisance. The low setting volume is better but then it takes longer to dry the room(s). I hope you find a satisfactory solution!

Just got mine and it's definitely not quite and it makes even more noise when it turns (and to me that's really unacceptable in the manufacturing). I was going to use it in my office, but will try it in my bedroom instead, since white noise in there won't bother me.

Noise is to be expected. It doesn't bother me. I just increase the volume on my TV or speaker a little when styling. It's not as loud as a blow dryer. I use this hot air brush every time I wash! The style lasts until I wash again. I use a large barrel curling iron for touch ups in between. You should use a thermal styling spray...makes a huge difference! I get tons of compliments on my full, shiny hair! The "brush" on the hot air brush controls hair well, but make sure to comb your hair out first. I hope this helps!

as far as the noise goes, i can't help you that much since mine isn't all that noisy - just a background "hum" that isn't all that objectionable.the lib vibration could be caused by not "nesting" the trays when the unit is turned on.the only other idea i have is that one (or more) of your trays is "out of round". by that i mean you have to be careful in washing them in a dishwasher. if you are washing them in a dishwasher they can't go through the full heat of the drying cycle - they'll deform or warp. i watch the dishwasher closely and catch them at the time the drying cycle begins and take them out and let them "air dry". as far as the noise goes, i can't help you that much since mine isn't all that noisy - just a background "hum" that isn't all that objectionable.the lib vibration could be caused by not "nesting" the trays when the unit is turned on.the only other idea i have is that one (or more) of your trays is "out of round". by that i mean you have to be careful in washing them in a dishwasher. if you are washing them in a dishwasher they can't go through the full heat of the drying cycle - they'll deform or warp. i watch the dishwasher closely and... » Read More as far as the noise goes, i can't help you that much since mine isn't all that noisy - just a background "hum" that isn't all that objectionable.the lib vibration could be caused by not "nesting" the trays when the unit is turned on.the only other idea i have is that one (or more) of your trays is "out of round". by that i mean you have to be careful in washing them in a dishwasher. if you are washing them in a dishwasher they can't go through the full heat of the drying cycle - they'll deform or warp. i watch the dishwasher closely and catch them at the time the drying cycle begins and take them out and let them "air dry". « Show Less
