What what do you think about the sound? Louder or quieter than other battery sharpeners? More or less grating?

I got it for my 93-year-old mother. She has a hard time hearing it thunder, so I doubt that she'll complain about the noise. She DID say that it does a good job on her pencils.

It's about the same as other electric sharpeners, but it's very weak, even with fresh batteries. I would never buy it again.

This is a piece of junk. I replaced the first one. The second one is no better. It is so difficult to use that if you don't the pencil in a very precise position, it stops working. Plus it takes forever to sharpen, I'm returning it to the manufacturer, hopefully for a refund. But they ( Elmer's - the glue people ) are very difficult, and don't want to work with me. I'm having to be very insistent, even though it's within the 2 year warranty, and I just bought it in October, 2014. BUY ANOTHER SHARPENER.

I teach school and it is too loud to talk over, but not that loud for a pencil sharpener and it is amazing.

Not quiet at all.. especially with a fresh battery, sounds like a tiny mottor in over speed, kinda like an amplified bee.. not the kind of noise that would wake the neighbors up, but for the one that's actually getting the hair cut, it's pretty loud..

All the electric knives I have ever used make and annoying noise I guess. I never payed much attention....just easier cleaning fish... and at 72 I have cleaned a many a fish

I have only changed my batteries once so far,but I think the green light turned red.I could be wrong,the batteries seem to last a long time.I personally wish there was a place for a DC coard,and a place to plug in an additional speaker.With 2 powered speakers it would be a killer sound.

Yes it's loud!! More than I expected and I'm using the green blanks so sound and range still can be increase.

I went with the Prismacolor sharpener and I am glad that I did. It maximises the lead width so I get minimal waste. I hope this helps:)

I use my slicer periodically and the blade has remained sharp. As far as noise, the slicer is not loud at all.

Hello Lindsay S.,I cannot provide that comparison since I have only tried the sharpener that I have. We do like the one we have however.

Its not bad. Much quieter than the Cuisinart that we bought this to replace. Electric motors are nearly noiseless. The noise comes from the gears that step down the speed of the motor. The big powerful blenders from Blendtech and Vitamix don't have to step down the speed as much. I'm guessing they are quieter. Even still, this isn't offensive..

Mine isn't noticeably louder than barber shop clippers; if it's very loud, it could be defective, especially if it's heating up a lot or vibrating really hard.

Have not noticed louder noise, however do notice the brushes swing faster. That might be what you are registering as 'extra loud'.

Assuming the battery is good, it must be defective. Mine is quite loud and I take care not to set it off in error... especially in the garage. :)

No, it's not... It no louder than most mice, giving off a light crisp "click" with the click of a button, but I would not say it's quiet. Sounds like this is a very important feature to you, therefore I would NOT recommend this particular item.

On low pretty quiet , but on high yes it is louder . It does not bother me though.

To elaborate on my previous post, and to answer the question, it sounds fine at low volume if you're looking for clean sounds. I needed a louder amp which is why I chose this model. Best thing to do is find one locally and take it for a test drive.

The only other experience that I've had is with Wahl clippers. The Andis clippers were about the same as far as noise level. I didn't feel that they were LOUDER! Of course they are not the top notch clippers that you pay, a very good price, for and get the "quite" level. I've really enjoyed the Andis clippers and I found them to work very well for the price that I invested into them. I hope this helps!
