How much noise does it make?

The sound is close to that of hair clippers. It becomes more intense to the person being touched or massaged.

Mine was very loud. Similar to the noise of a woodworking tool (like a jigsaw), it makes a rattling noise. Cancels all the relaxing benefits of the vibration. Getting a scalp massage or anywhere close to the head is noise torture.

A moderate buzz.....the sound of a small electric hand-held motor vibrating. Not intrusive or irritating to me.

It makes more noise than I would like, but the sensation I get from it overcomes that noise...

I would like to be able to help - but the unit I received was broken when I opened the box, and I sent it back. Good luck.

Quite a bit. I can hear it with my ear plugs in when my wife forgets to adjust it.

I have heard no noticeable noises because I use it for kids to listen to books on CD. When I tested it I heard nothing unusual. Hope that helped.

No, its not noisy. but you can hear it, its a soft sound maybe like a small fan, its not an annoying sound.

It gets pretty loud enough to hear outside of a room. But its loud for how small it is.

I would say about a 6 or 7. I guess I expected it to be loud because my last portable was loud. I use it in a large room so i have to use fans to move the air, the fan on it is not too powerful. If you are using it for a small room it should be ok.

I'm not sure. I have no way to measure. It isn't that loud or annoying. With cold weather I have moved it into a warm room and am airbrushing sculptures. It has more of a vibrating noise than a clacking piston noise bigger unites have.

I don't know the exact noise level, scientifically speaking, but I find it loud enough to be quite disruptive.The level of noise it makes is the main reason I am currently replacing it. I'm tired of yelling over this thing. Also, since it doesn't have an energy save mode, the fan stays on even when it's not cooling, so the loudness is constant.

Not very noisy at all. Since I use it outside, what little sound it produces is not a problem.

Well it's not THAT loud, but it is loud enough to hear it from about 10 to maybe 15 feet away. But it is a pretty subtle loud noise that could be soothing once one has gotten used to it.

It is very quiet, however does make a slight "blowing" sound, unless you were really listening for it, don't think it would be noticeable.

Its not loud at all - I have it in my living room where my TV is as well and it barely makes more than a bit of a very light hum when it's running (I use the auto setting so it kicks on periodically when it needs to and usually in a low mode although once in a while higher). I can barely just hear it when there is nothing on like a tv or radio and sometimes miss it all together if I am focused on what I am doing. Can't hear it at all with the TV on.

The noise level is based on how fast you set the fan. On the lowest setting it is pretty quiet. Even on the highest setting it isn't that loud.

You can hear it when it is on but it's not really noisy. I would call it fairly quiet.

Its not that loud. I hooked it up then unhooked it and went with a different model.

It's not overly loud, but it's definitely higher pitched than a regular fan. I run a regular fan at night anyway, so I barely hear it.
