How loud is the fountain when running at maximum flow?

It's not very loud at all, I was surprised how quiet/relaxing the pump is while running at a high speed. I wouldn't recommend running anything at full speed, there is no need for that if you have cats.

This fountain makes no noise at all. I've tried MANY fountains, and my cats always insisted on drinking out of the bathtub. I got this fountain and they love it!! Plus it's so easy to clean. I recommended it to my vet and she bought one and is going to recommend it to her clients.

It makes a fairly good water fountain noise but not loud enough that you don't stop hearing it after it has been in house for about a week. Just becomes background noise.

If you turn it up all the way it can sound like a small outdoor fountain. I turn mine up to where the water hits the base where it starts to expand. I normally don't here anything with it set there.

It makes noise when running. Whether its to little or to much is a matter of opinion.

No. It's probably no louder than running water into a 5 gallon bucket with a water hose.

I was quite impressed with the water flow, with the barrel come a Little Giant pump that could be smaller in GPH, but really puts out ALOT of water!(the pump is worth the price of the entire item) The sound is excellent, as I have one setup inside my store and can hear it outside of the customers are quiet!

I find it to be very quiet except when the reservoir is running low, which is good because it alerts me to refill the reservoir. I have it sitting on a rubber mat and the noise is almost nothing.

It's pretty loud. I run it at night and it acts like white noise so it never bothers me. It does an excellent job though.

It wasn't too noisy. I returned mine though because it didn't fizz enough for me.

I don't believe it is, there is no sound of continuously running water that I always heard on my old Kitchen Aid ice machine. It is much quieter than my old machine.

Yes, there is noise as it pumps the water. It's not deafeningly loud, but it's loud.

Thank you for your question! Typically you should only hear the sound of falling water. If your fountain is louder than normal, and makes a grinding sound, it is a sign that more water is needed.

Not sure about the volume. But it is not a "large pond pump". It is more a fountain for a water feature the size of a bird bath.

very quiet. you can't hear it dispensing more than 10 feet away and the water pump only goes on for about 10 seconds to refill the reservoir

I would say the sound is medium or average for a pet fountain. I doubt you will find a quieter one, it is the nature of the water flow. I love the ceramic and it is easy to clean. My problem is with the design. The bowl is too small for an adult cat to drink from and my kitties do not like drinking from the fountain itself. I used to own a plastic one, got moldy and was hard to clean, but it had a bigger bowl that they loved.

The fountain is loud to me..but my dogs love it. I put a STRIP of cotton cloth across the top through the groves for the water and it makes no noise at all now.

I find it to be quite loud - when running it sounds like I'm stomping my feet on it. I've been running routinely at gyms for 10+ years and have never had this issue. My model may have a defect though, I don't know.

Not as quiet as I'd like. We don't use the heated water, so really have no experience with that. The cooling, at times, can be heard in an "almost" annoying fashion.

I'm using 90psi and rally loud. More pressure would probably be even louder.
