does it make a lot of noise?

No! Super quiet. I have a vicks humidifier that is so noisy. With this one you can barely tell it's on.

Not at all, it's almost completely silent... You'll just hear a slight hissing with this one

There are no odd noises, it does let a lot of water flow so if you have good water pressure and turn it on full force you will have a quite a flow

No. When the air comes through it, it kind of whistles. It's annoying. I never used it because of the noise.

It's not quiet. I used a sound level meter to compare it to a couple other units and it's literally 10-20 times louder. The sound it makes is also particularly annoying.

It's not super loud when it runs, but you can definitely hear it. However, when it starts breaking down a few months into use, it becomes REALLY loud.

No, the machine's noise is minimum and nice. You can check it out on YouTube.

I think so its pretty loud. It's a clear full sound that carries over other noise. I use it in wood shop and it does great. I'm very happy with it. I'd buy again

Yes. It is pretty loud. I drive a heavy machine at work and can hear it over the engine when not accelerating.

It is powerful so it is louder. But it is a lower sound of machine noise. Well worth the price.

I haven't noticed it being noisy, it works great and looks like it was much more expensive than is actually was.

It makes a click-clack sound that is not loud. For details, see my answer to the question: "Does this make noise?..."

Yes, I find it fairly loud. On my machine, anyway, which is older and ready to be replaced because it leaks.

It is not too noisy. On the other hand I used it in a kitchen where the noise level is higher then in an office. Good luck.

I'm afraid it is not particularly quiet. It is efficient, but if is "buzzy."

Of course. At all speeds it makes noise but what you and I consider loud is different.

I do not think it makes much noise at all. In all I am very satisfied with this shredder. I really like the microcut of the papers, how many sheets at a time, plus the size of the basket.

In my opinion, yes, it is relatively quiet. At least not as noisy as some others i have used.
