Is the motor quiet in day-to-day use? It seemed rather loud when we tried out the floor model at Babies R Us.

yes, the mamaroo we have is quiet and it sits directly on the floor. im not sure who enjoys it most, the parents or my 3mos. old granddaughter. I am currently trying to decide to get another one for my grandson due in may or hand down this one.( the weight limit is 25lbs.) I hope my answer helps. good luck.

It's not silent - you can hear it moving. But most of the swings I saw were like that, plus they had that "click" sound. I personally don't mind the noise at all, it's almost like white noise, and some days that mamaroo is the only hope I have to get my son to take a nap! I know they made a new model for 2015, perhaps it's quieter?

I don't mind the noise at all. The actual problem is that it appears as obstruction after turning it on for a bit.

It's audible, but it doesn't bother us, and in fact the baby seems to like the white noise-y sound.

I didn't try it out at Babies R Us since it was ordered online. How should it normally sound? Rather loud or quiet?

In my opinion, it's not noisy. I think it's more quiet than a window AC. I really like the hum of the motor, and it doesn't bother me at all.

My wife and I put at minimum 20 miles a week on our's - at first it was near silent, after about 40 hours of breakin the motor starts to get a little more noticeable above 6 mph, and conversationally loud at +7.5 mph. As long as you lube it regularly, it will remain quiet enough to keep from being distracting. Of note, we have owned ours for 4 months and are very satisfied with it.

Well it is noisey but I can't tell how noisey her's is. It's not as noisey as my old vacuum but it's definitely not quiet. I wouldn't recommend you buying this vacuum either way. It's not very good and is overpriced.

It's pretty quiet but on the flooring I have it on and at a certain fan speed there is a slight buzzing going on. If you need dead silence I'd suggest an oil-filled radiator. They essentially make no noise except perhaps a slight clicking when they cycle on or off.

I don't find it excessively loud. It's a gas powered motor after all . I just know it works great and have had no problems with it .

Lewis,I read an article about Dyson and his path to designing and marketing his vacuums some time ago that said the company actually increased the noise of the machine for the American market because we perceive loudness to be equivalent to power. In other words, if it were too quiet, Americans would consider it not powerful enough. Having said that, I find the machine no more noisy nor more quiet than comparable vacuums. It's about the same as an Oreck or a Bissel, in my opinion. Hope that helps.

It's is ....average lol. Not overly annoying but it does make noise. Get the kid the toy, parents understand toys make noise :)

It shouldn't be that loud! Mine is roughly a month old and it's only "noisy" when it it isn't full of water. Try filling to the max, if that doesnt help try cleaning the motor. Other than that it could be a bad motor......

I don't think it's loud at all! It has a slight hum when the motor kicks on.

We have ours on the second floor of our house you can hear it running when your downstairs but it's not too bad it's quieter than the other treadmill that we have. We did put a very thick mat under it the ones that get-together sort of like a puzzle

Not gonna lie, it's pretty loud in my opinion however I have high ceilings & an open floor plan. If your kids are light sleepers you might want to explore other options. My 2 year old son can sleep through it but he's always been a sound sleeper.

While it is not whisper quiet, it is powerful due to the motor which does make noise. I would recommend going to youtube and looking this product up as their are product videos on there so that will at least give you a better idea of how noisy it is. Thank you ! Magic Mikes Premium Pleasure

This is totally subjective, obviously. :-) We don't mind it, but we live in a big house with no neighbors, so we're not that sensitive to noise. It is not really loud IMHO, and the noise isn't really obnoxious (like a fire engine, etc.). I would say if you live in a small space like an apartment with thin walls you might think twice, or if you are the type of family that asks your kids to use their "inside voices" a lot. I think the only time it would get annoying is in the very beginning if your child just won't put it down and plays with it constantly. But since that would likely be short lived anyway, meh. It's a toy that makes noise, but I've never been bugged by it and my son usually plays with it inside.

I bought one for the conference room of my office and it was not quiet. The condenser motor was loud and it wouldn't stop running. I took it back and the replacement is much quieter. The motor runs more quietly and is not on all the time -- only when necessary to cool. It does "gurgle" a bit sometimes as it runs (the sound of the Freon flowing?), but the overall noise level is now acceptable for a conference room.

It is mostly quiet. However, sometimes it gets squeaky and I just take it home and oil it. I've owned this for 6 months and have had to oil it 3-4 times.
