How LOUD is it? Will it wake the neighbors if I use it in the morning? Thanks!

it is about as loud as a dishwasher..... i could care less about my neighbors when my health is the major goal.lol. it will wake my children if the doors are left open. a smoothie doesnt take long so I wouldn't worry too much.

I want to purchase this blender for smoothies. Does it crush the ice and frozen fruit very well?

How close are your neighbors? My kids say they can hear it from upstairs and all conversations and TV programs get put on pause when it is running. It isn't horrible it isn't stealthy either. If you are blending ice or frozen fruit then it is even louder than when you are just blending raw veggies. It is still totally worth it though! It is a great product.

Its not quiet but about the same as other blenders. I would say average "blender" sound.

I think it is louder then a full size vacuum cleaner. It's pretty loud. Haha.

No it won't wake the neighbors but it's pretty loud especially on high. It works so fast though you won't have to run it very long. I have owned mine for about 15 months and I use it everyday. The best appliance I have ever owned.

Quite loud. Well it depends how close you are to your neighbors, but if you leave in a house I don't think it will wake them up.

You need to use it in the garage or front/back porch....not in the house. It's not loud enough to bother neighbors.

Its loud and could disturb your neighbors. I have 3 children and they were bothered by the whistles in the beginning. But they have gotten used to it with time.

Its loud - we have it in the bedroom and turn it off when time to sleep - but in the kitchen it should be fine.

Not noisy at all. I use mine at 5am while my husband and two children sleep. Very quiet.

My wife mainly uses it, and sometimes the kids mess with the volume during the day, and when it is set high, the alarm startles us. So yes, it can be loud enough if you want. I think it has a progressive function or setting where it gets louder and louder if you do not turn it off. Hope that helps.

If you had the receiver near you, I'm pretty sure it would wake you. In my case I'm definitely awakened, but that's because of a Shepherd dog who starts barking excitedly when it goes off. She hears it quite well even a few rooms away.

Considering its power, yes it is quiet. I live in an apt. and use it very early in the morning and some late nights --- and no one has ever complained.

It is very LOUD when set to the loud setting. I wear hearing aids and cannot hear the alarm when it's set to the low setting, And that's with my hearing aids! It's a shrill, loud sound.

It's not as loud as the older models. Depends on how sensitive your neighbors are. I hardly notice it and it is right outside a window, but the window is closed.

Its not too noisy at all. I was living on the second floor in my building. No complaints from the neighbors.

Yeah, it is KINDA noisy... 7,8? You would prob wake someone up in another room without closing the door if they are a touchy person about that kind of thing. But I think this hair dryer is average in noise. I don't think you're going to find quieter. Dryers are loud.

Really? Mine is LOUD. You really can't talk in an ajoining room when it is running. It is far louder than the dishwasher, washer and dryer.

It really isn't very noisy. If you are next to it and someone is talking to you, they would have to be next to you to hear them. But you won't wake up the neighbors.

I just tested my alarm. It's SUPER loud (loud enough you can hear it a block away.) I don't think you can hear it 2-acres away though.

I can hear it from my bedroom if I'm awake at 6 AM when it starts automatically in the kitchen/great room area. It doesn't wake me up so it's not that loud but I can hear it...

It is not bad, I use it in our garage which is under our house and when I leave the garage and go into the basement I close the door and I don't hear it in the laundry room. I have it on a Formica toped bench, it doesn't walk. Seems to get a little louder the longer it runs so if you only run it for an hour or so, should be Ok. Depends a lot on your neighbors though, it's been 25 years since I lived in an apartment, but I do remember some neighbors could be a problem over anything.
