some reviews say it is noisy -is this true?

yes . . . . if you are close to it . . . . but like most repetitious sounds, you tune it out after awhile. I wouldn't choose to place a chair by one.

It works effectively. Not noisy at all. If I need to listen to see if it is still operating, I have to lie down on the ground and put my ear to the device.

It's not noisy as it's in the ground. But I still don't know after 3 months if it works.

If you are within a few feet of the chaser; yes you can hear it. I had one near my porch that I had to move further away since I could hear it.

I can hear the P7901 Mole Chaser when I am within 5 feet every 15 to 20 seconds. This is good for me because I know the batteries are still good. Some places I have to unscrew the cap and lift the inside out to hear it.

It is not noisy and works very well. I cannot answer about durability because I have owned it only a couple of months

No, it is not noisy. I don't know if Barker is considered top quality, but it got good reviews.

It is not overly noisy, in my opinion, but I am old so my hearing isn't trustworthy. Perhaps a younger person should answer your question.

Don't know because mine is not noisy. Maybe you should call the owner/manufacturer and ask. He is very helpful and nice to do business with.

I don't find it noisy. Since the enclosure is fanless, the only noise is when the drive is spinning.

It's not noisy but not perfectly quiet. Just a low humming sound. I have used it in my bedroom and it did not keep my awake but some people are more sensitive to sounds than others.

The noise level is moderate and what would be expected for what the machine does. The noise has not been an issue for me.

Yes, it is loud. I was warned by one the reviews before buying it, but bought it anyway. I am happy with the machine overall, but the noise has got the biggest downside.

Yes, I find mine a little noisy too, but I thinks it's a great piece of equipment for the price !

It is no more noisy than anything else hand held. It is pretty powerful though and there are always trade offs, and that would be noise for power. If it is that bothersome try some light duty hearing protection. I think this could be an issue with most of these units.

I would not call it noisy, but then again, I tend to put on my Bluetooth headset and listen to music from my Galaxy smartphone when performing projects with it. Have never had the sound overtake the music!

To me it sounds the same as most others, I mean its not really loud but its not quiet either IMHO, it maybe a little more quiet then most but if you are looking for something that barely has any noise I don't think this is it, but I tell you what its a great toilet tho, never gotten clogged or any problems.Hope that helps.

yes it is very noisy. a high pitched (loud) whine. and it blows air out of the back (into your face, depending on your position) while you are using it.

For as much as it costs, it is surprisingly noisy but the vibration levels on mine are minimal....no problem using it for long periods.
