What's with this "Too noisy", "not too noisy" in all these reviews? I like the 7 quart tilt feature. Noise? ok. How many DB at 2 feet?

It is loud. It was running inside the house and from 50 yards away while outside, with the door open, I could hear it plainly. Not sure on low speeds, but on high speed it's loud.

Not sure I can get you an exact Db rating but I can attest that this unit is pretty noisy. I would imagine that most higher end mixers are pretty noisy. Let's just say that when my wife is mixing cookie dough in the kitchen I can hear the machine on my second floor. Regardless of the noise it makes...it is a very good machine. Professional quality in my opinion.

This machine is not noisy at all! It's in fact better and quieter than the kitchen Aid I've had for years. I also like the 7 quart tilt and has a nice cover to protect from splattering. All in all, I love it and would recommend it for anyone.

What has noise got to do with performance? I didn't find it any noisier than any other unit the same size such at Kitchen Aid. I performs really well. Unfortunately, there are no attachments for it. It's a one of a kind and only available the Amazon. There's also no repair facilities should it break. But it is well made and works very well.

In short, I cannot say it more succinctly...Amazon should take this vendor OUT OF THEIR REPERTOIRE! done, nada , nothing to say - I threw mine out - no volume variation and I viewed other 'not happy campers'. Your choice - make them return your money - or just throw it out - post your comments and only 'hope' Amazon does not allow this vendor. Hope this helps.

I heard a lot of noise as well, that is before i bought a dedicated audio interface, like an m-audio m-track, preSonus, focusrite, etc.. If you're not using one, then i'd say get that first. I have no noise now at all settings. From -30db, and i usually have my speakers set at the +6db and nothing. i'm also using the 1/4" to 1/4" plug into the balanced inputs. If you're using an audio interface, then i'd say call customer support and get it fixed.

@ +12db you will hear some noise, but for live work it's acceptable&gt; I would not use it for studio post production mix downs. Hope this was helpful.

I've asked the same thing and no one answered. The volume is plenty loud enough, but I notice there is 'vibrations' if I turn it up too loud. I'd love to know about speakers as well!

Great question. No, it has not made much of a noticeable difference for me. I have mine in a corner behind our tv. You only see the Play 5. Guests jaws drop thinking that bass is coming from "that little box". Haha. There's good settings with the sub controls. I have mine at about 3/4 of max and it rattles the house. Crank up "Pause" by Pitbull and you'll know what I'm talking about.

One other comment to add. I read where one person said it was loud. Mine is relatively quiet...much quieter than an up right.

Not very noisy. I have it in my living room and it doesn't bother me with the TV or anything. The only problem with it is my tv remote randomly turns it off. I would say it works great and you should buy it. Good luck!

Good question...I have mines up top too, it does not sound bad. What receiver or amplifier are you using or how many watts per channel?I have an Onkyo 80 watts per channel and it sounds pretty good but I am in the process of getting the Onkyo 828.Check your settings, db

I read the (decibel) dB's is high 50's on low fan. IMO, it is in-between loud and quiet, in the middle. Most of the noise comes from the water being hit by the condenser fan at the rear of the unit. Another noise I heard was the grille forward of the air filter which was vibrating. Two small foam pieces strategically placed, which came with the unit, removed that noise.

I had no problem with noise from the unit. Even slept with it in a small bedroom and was surprised I didn't notice it after a short while. It is rated for 800 square ft. which meant I had to move it around until the problem resolved, but that was my fault for not paying attention to the details. Otherwise very pleased with the product. Hope this helps.

Thank You for the reply. yes I did mean DB the settings are 0 DB and -3Db I set it at -3db for now. I am till waiting for my sub to arrive. I got a Alpine SWR-T10 10" 1800W 4-Ohm Type-R Shallow-Mount Car Audio Subwoofer. I will take your advice thank You

Just set mine up. I do have a home theater system, so it isn't an issue with me. But I am also not impressed with the sound from the tv. You certainly should be able to hear it over other noise, even though it could be louder.

I have two of the VE-12's in a room that is 18' x 26' and they are very loud. My entire house shakes from them actually. Its not so much the size of the speaker as much as it is power. My amp is 250 rms per channel. The 15" model will merely give you slightly lower bass response. 12's are the perfect balance in my opinion, I had 15's in the room previously and these give much better all around sound.

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.

As I have no decimeter the answer is it is not very loud. You should not have a problem with the noise level.

I really have no idea of the DB level...I got it for medium venue gigs and as a monitor for my upright in noisy areas. It serves me well in that respect. If I need more power or think I will, I bring a 15" several hundred watt amp.
