How quiet is it when the dog goes in and/or out?

There is a snapping noise but not bad at all. It does not wake me up at night and it is not enough to startle you. I would say it's about the same as floding back one of those 12" plastic rulers and letting it snap back against the wall. I am also going to give this door a further endorsement. It was about -8 Celsius here yesterday (17 Farenheight) and there was no draft coming from the door and no cold area like i felt around the windows. The door is worth the money in my opinion.

This door is actually pretty loud when the dog goes in our out because the three doors snap magnetically back together. However, it is well worth the extra noise for me because it is the best sealed dog door ever. My old dog door was very drafty and let it tons of dirt, but this one seals beautifully and keeps our family room much warmer and cleaner.

It is fairly loud. Great door. Works very well, looks fantastic. You will know when you pet exits and enters this door

It's got a pretty distinctive "clap-clap" sound. About as loud as you'd make with your hands. There are some youtube videos that demonstrate it.

It makes a pretty loud SNAP when it closes, but it does NOT swing back and forth. Just one snap and it's closed tight.

Yes, it's noisy. In fact, I have a low confidence dog that is nervous about traveling in the metal crate. The pup does better in a soft crate, but that's not always an option when traveling with multiple dogs.

Very quiet. I can't tell when my husband is using it in his recliner and I am close by in the sofa.

A couple of days.....it depends on how many animals you have using it. I have 2 cats. The noise isn't too loud or bothersome.

For my purposes, it is quiet. But I just went over to see if I could hear it when I was listening for it. From a standing position in front of it, I can hear an ever so slight hum. If your dog's hearing is sharp, I would think she would be able to hear it.

Its not loud. I watch tv, talk or whatever. My bichon likes to put his front feet on it while its running. If it was loud he wouldn`t get near it.

There is a significant amount of noise during operation, yes--particularly on the higher settings. This is in fact he reason I purchased this model over silent ones. Not only do I have several pets in my house, but I also need white noise in the background while I am sleeping, and this fit the bill for me. If you are looking for quiet operation, you'll probably want to consider another product.

It's very quiet. It's not very big so it doesn't click or move. Consider it "Stealth"

No it does not seem to be loud when opening or closing the door it has a lot of room and is relatively quiet when operating hope this helps

It makes little or no noticeable noise when my cat goes through. I have it placed in an inside door that leads to basement where his cat litter is.

It is very quiet! You can hear it but a white noise, not problematic at all.

Heard everywhere. I was hoping it was silent too. It WILL stop a dog to look at what in the world that noise is

It's very quiet so it's hard to tell. I've been using it for a couple years now and absolutely love it!

You can barely hear it operate. It makes noise, but it's not unpleasant and it doesn't deter the pets from using it.

sorry,cant rally comment as i dont have any dogs next door,but it does seem to have made a difference with my dogs,the secret is to turn it on at lots of different times,when your in as well as when your out so they never no when it's on

It is really quiet. I use mind on driftwood not to sure how the rabbit will like it. Give her a rock to chew on.

I bought mine for a Chinchilla. As far as her, the answer would definitely be NO noise
