I'm extremely sensitive to noise when sleeping, how much noise does this appliance make?

It's as loud as any other portable. It's louder when the condenser is on vs just the fan. You'll get used to it though.

Well, it is louder than our dishwasher but we have a super quite one. It doesn't bother us, sound about the noise level of a humidifier, small fan heater running.

No, it's not really quiet, but it didn't make my ears ring. It is probably the same as my dryer at home, which is 1875 watts.

Not super quiet, especially as it kicks on. But I haven't problem sleeping right through the noise! :-)

I can't tell you in decibiles, but I have no problems using it when my wife is sleeping. Blenders and hand mixers are louder.

Yikes, sorry to hear that. I guess it's all relative. It's loud without being abrasive. I have decent hearing, so I liked that it gradually increases (over about 15-30 seconds) so I can usually turn it off before it gets too loud. I have used it in two different apartments and can always hear it, even while in the shower. But it typically doesn't seem to stir my sleeping fiancé, who is a very heavy sleeper. Hope this helps.

Mine is not noisey at all. It doesn't make a noise that I can hear and it is about 5 feet from my bedroom witdow.

My experience, and most others by their reviews, is that the Waste King 9930 is a relatively quiet appliance. Please examine its mounting as a source of your noise.

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.

I assume you mean noise rather than nose. I don't know the decibels, but it doesn't seem to be unusually noisy to me. We have ours in a window close to the TV, and we only have to turn up the volume several notches. On low fan speed it is very quiet and shouldn't disturb sleep.

My rotisserie makes quite a bit of noise also. It does cook well so I guess it's a trade-off. My dishwasher makes a lot of noise (10 yrs old) but I use it anyway.

it's very quiet. I would use it when I sleep and I never had a problem, and I'm a light sleeper

It's about as loud as a vacuum. But being on the countertop puts it closer to your ears and kitchens are mostly hard surfaces. I find it uncomfortably loud so I keep a pair of inexpensive ear muffs in the cabinet over my Versa. Otherwise I am very happy with its performance as a smoothie maker.

I do not know of any way to disable that. It doesn't usually bother me. I have heard it, but normally sleep right thru it. You might ask the company if they have any remedies. Maybe there is a volume control or something they could help with. Sorry I am not any help. I love my machine.

I have no way of measuring the sound. I run the unit on high about 3 feet from my bed when I sleep. Have no problem with the noise.

Depends what your noise tolerance is. If it's not very high then I would suggest using the low setting. I sleep with it in the opposite corner of the room, about 9 ft away and it's still moderately noisy. However, I bought it for that very reason because it drones out other outside noise.
