Does the compressor make very much noise

It does make a hum periodically as it starts up and stops. It doesn't interfere with T.V. watching in the same mid-sized family room.

No, the compressor is quiet...you can still hear it but nothing that is bothersome.

In my opinion no; it is about as noisy as I expected it to be. I barely notice it when it does come on and it may be partly due to just having gotten used to it. However, I can see how someone might say it is noisy. This has been a great machine for me once I got the refrigerant level fixed. It may ship with very little refrigerant and you may need someone to come out and add some if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself.

No, hardly makes any noise at all to me, but to me it doesnt get drinks cold enough either, before they send to you if there is a adjustment they can make to make colder, it would be advisable, i put ice in mine,it is a cool little machine tho,ive enjoyed it.

No it does not. The only recommendation that I have is that the chain that connects the lid to the main body is ferris. If you buy this item replace this chain with a stainless steel chain. $1.85 from Home Depot. Hope that helps Andy Cone.

the one I have is alot quieter than a regular compressor.one with 60 dB may be quieter ,but may not be as good for the work .

Typical small compressor noise-should be no problem for the short periods you use this type of compressor.

even a little bicycle pump is loud, just the nature of the beast- but all and all, I'd call it "normal" for an air compressor, not overly loud, but your neighbor will know oyu are using it.

Is not very loud, sounds like a small air compressor running. I can hear mine run from outside closed garage.

this one has that feature and is a very quiet running compressor; I recommend it highly. The only downside is the small tank. I added a 5 gallon propane tank for extra volume. With a ball valve cutoff between the tank and compressor, I can use it or not.

It is not silent but it is much less noisy then the unit it replaced. I can sleep with it near my nightstand so noise wasn't a factor for me. There are two noise levels, with the compressor on and when the fan is on alone. If you are very noise sensitive this may be an issue for you.

It depends. It sounds like a regular vacuum cleaner but there is a bar for suction control. The higher the suction control is on, the louder it sounds. When it is all the way up, it is loud and sounds high pitched. I still love the vacuum cleaner.

This is one of the most quiet units of this size. You can not hear the compressor or any buzzing noise. But there is pretty much noise of rushing wind.

Not really very noisy, the noise level is the same as any other piston type compressor.

I would look on youtube for videos of ppl using it. You'll hear the compressor. Here's a link http://youtu.be/rBPL0AORrvY?t=20m27s that's what it sounds like when I use it.

Any compressor makes some noise. I can carry on a decent conversation with it right next to me; I also have no problem sleeping with the unit on. My pet rabbits are not bothered by it either.

It's amazingly quiet. We had it right next to us and it was much quieter than our previous compressor which we put in another room and ran a hose.

It is as quiet as any i have used in the past. Low hum most of thew time ,makes a louder sound when the compressor kicks in . Overall happy.

Probably has a higher capacity motor I do know that this a.c. is louder than I like. The compressor isn't insulated well enough from the interior portion and a lot of the compressor noise goes into the room. However it does cool great.

I'm not sure if it compressor but the the answers it appears it is. So far, mine is running well. It does make some noise at times and when it shuts off, the wine bottles rattle but now I am so used to the sound, I pay no attention. Good for the money......Marilyn

No, upon installation turned on the vehicle and the compressor was whisper quiet. A complete 180 from the previous compressor, which was as load as a jumbo jet. This new compressor works like a champ and is very quiet.
