Dampen the noise? Anyone have solutions other than earplugs (like wrapping the bottom with a towel or whatever)?

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.

there is not active noise cancellation while listening that i have noticed. i do not use the microphone function, so i cannot speak to that.

If you have long hair or wear glasses, you will hear noise. Make sure your hair isn't in the way and if you wear glasses try changing the frequency or lowering the volume

I agree with Karin. What I did for the noise Is I either put my headphones in with my iPod or I will out a movie on my kindle fire with my Netflix and use my headphones. Then i can't hear the machine. :-)

It will help. But no, I'm sure you will still hear the bass. Could try wearing these plugs in conjunction with a fan running to try to drown out the noise.

I too have that problem. I hope someone can help. Even at MAX volume, it's not earblowingly deafening and my viewing area is tops, 15x15.

Put the mic on a stand (when possible). That will eliminate the mechanical noise completely. Otherwise, the shock mount will reduce the noise quite a bit.

This is a hand held vacuum so its not near your ear and the noise level is on a par with other hand helds, but if concerned, try ear plugs.

Yeah, it's an issue with the speakers when devices are connected. Chances are it makes the noise with any attached device, but some devices are more apparent than others. The best solution is attaching some speakers. Even computer speakers via the USB/headphone jack solved it for me, and it's actually better quality sound.

Unless there is some damage to the unit, I would look for ear wax to be a possible problem. Remove the rubber piece and see if there's something amiss. You may also have a rubber piece that's too big for your ear and that could dampen the sound.

It's noticeable but not the worst I've heard. Putting it up high (be careful, drippage) might block it. We had music and the noise wasn't a problem. Can definitely talk over it.Please be aware that I personally had TERRIBLE dripping problems with mine but perhaps it was a defective item. Best of luck if you purchase!

I have also had this issue and I think the part of the rubber casing that covers the microphone muffles the sound. I actually have got in the habit of pulling that part open to talk! It's kind of a pain - I might cut it off!

Try putting a pair of shoes on it for an hour or so, they should warm up. You should not hear any noise as it is just a heating element that causes a natural thermal draft.

It is not silent, but not noisey either. a good pad underneath would limit the noise.

Move the speaker off to the side of your waist and run the mic cable around your back instead of front with the mic opposite from the speaker . I usually wear a mask that prevents this anyway.

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.

The only solution i found was to put a bit of electrical tape on the holes on the top of the unit, it muffles the sound a bit. But it is still too loud for my tastes.
