are these clippers fairly quiet?

The clippers are not too loud. You can actually hear someone talking to you as you are using them. They are fast, but have a lower hum. Excellent results using these clippers.

I would have to say they're relatively quiet. No louder than your typical clippers you hear in a barber shop.

As long as you keep them clean, yes. After 3 years they will become louder.

About the same as most clippers, I think. I use this to cut my own hair, and don't find it particularly loud next to my ear, but it is noisy.

I suppose you could, but the noise is probably going to scare it.Unless you are really experienced, I'd advise against it. Get old fashioned clippers...safer and quieter.

I bought this for my toddler, but when I saw all the reviews, people say that this clipper is low noise, I don't know if its a problem with mine, but my clipper actually make noise, maybe a little less than others, but my boy gets really stressed with this.

If you compare the sound to a regular set of hair clippers it is considerably quieter.

I'm not sure? This one I do have works awesome!! My dog is a Chow & Shepard mix and some of her fur can get as long as 12 inches!! And she is the most terrified large dog I've ever seen in my life :( She is not afraid of these clippers. So they are not loud.

They emit a low hum. Fairly quiet as far as clippers go, especially if you spray them with the cooling lubricant every 15 mins or so.

I wouldn't say they are TOO quiet, but they are not the loudest either. But in their defense, I have been told to turn them down @home/library. They are comfortable. My only complaint is I wish they had an inline volume control. I have to resort to my device for that... Good Luck!

Yes, this clipper is very quiet. It slides in a smooth motion like a pair of scissors. There is no "clipping" sound.

It's moderately quiet. Doesn't work very well for eliminating pet hair. I was disappointed and would gladly give mine away.

They are quieter than the electric one I used to use. Just a humming noise. Very happy with them.

they are soft & no noise in my experience.If you have a flat heel they will serve you well. If your heel is treaded they don't stay on well. The staples to attach it are a bit short.Good luck mate

No, but hair is hair. If anything this IS quieter and gentler than a full sized clipper. What's the worry?

The trimmer is a little louder than I expected, the clipper is as loud as a conventional hair clipper. Trimmer uses AA batteries

I haven't used these clippers on my dog, I purchased to use for cutting my 2 yr olds hair because of the claim to be quieter and having rounded tips (I figured they wouldn't scratch as much). After trying them out I really don't find these clippers quieter than another set I purchased, which was just as quiet and actually cut hair better and more even then this particular set...so on a dog I'm not sure they would be the best option.

They aren't very loud I have had louder ones.. I have a problem getting through my cats fur with the blade that came with it..I think with a better blade it would go right through my cat's fur. My cat is part Siberian and she is extremely furry. Her fur gets matted on her backside there I have issue with the blade.. I would suggest getting a better blade ,but the unit itself seems to be good.. Hope this helps

No it is not the same as reg size clippers ..as far as the sound it's a soft humm sound & these clippers are also only good for small areas like around eyes,mouth..the teeth on any small clipper like this can NOT do a full groom. I love them around a pets eyes on the type of dog that will not hold still..
