Is this machine really loud to the point it would disrupt the rest of the salon?

No, the machine is quiet. While you are spraying you can talk to the person in a normal voice and understand what they are saying. It is quieter than a blow dryer

Hi Sandee, We bought the machine for personal use, and only use it in a garage. It is definitely loud and would likely cause a disturbance in a salon.

I have this same problem. It's loud and I can't for the life of me figure out why it started or how to stop it. I'll have to buy a new machine (not this one).

Mine isn't noticeably louder than barber shop clippers; if it's very loud, it could be defective, especially if it's heating up a lot or vibrating really hard.

It is not quiet but not too loud to be disturbing. I have compressor that are way louder. It is about the same sound level as your car engine.

Yeah. This sound machine does pretty loud. If it is near by it should do the job.

Honestly it is about as loud as a normal vacuum cleaner. I would take your vacuum cleaner to the venue and see how it echoes. It might be ok if music was being played. Good luck!

I don't think it's particularly loud but you might. It's located in our basement. I can hear it when it runs but it's not like it disturbs us or we can't talk over it if u know what I mean. Let me put it this way: the washing machine is way louder. I expect it to get a work out this week with all the snow melt. Glad to have it. Worked like a champ last spring. Good luck.

Is the area you're using it in large enough that you could move it to another room, or behind furniture? I don't notice the high-pitch noise so much but the growling motor is pretty loud to me, and so I use it in a central g room where it's not such a nuisance. The low setting volume is better but then it takes longer to dry the room(s). I hope you find a satisfactory solution!

It's super loud. My office building has a Nursing Mothers Room that has three chairs with curtains around them and I've been in there when it's full and my pump is by far the loudest one. I don't mind since we're in a separate room, but if you were planning on doing it in an area where there's no sealed doors or full walls, I'm guessing people will be able to hear it. ...I've tried burying the pump in the bottom of the bag and covering it with my coat and it's still loud...

My shop is directly under our sun room. We live in the sun room. My unit is mounted to the ceiling joist in the shop which are the floor joist for the sun room. The unit cannot be heard in the sun room. In the shop where I generally work within 6 feet of it, I run it on low speed most of the time. Low is OK. I'll go to high speed when I am sanding. I find medium and high too loud when I don't have other noise making devices running. Keep in mind that I am a person that does not like loud music. I do not have music playing in the shop.

It is powerful so it is louder. But it is a lower sound of machine noise. Well worth the price.

It can get pretty loud. I only use it in the shower so I can't speak for it elsewhere.

Mine is not quiet, but it's certainly not offensive. Sounds like most any pump machine.

It's quite loud. If you are looking for a quiet model this may not be for you.

I have not had any problem w loud noises. Probably the only nice thing I can say about the machine.

It's about as loud as a vacuum. But being on the countertop puts it closer to your ears and kitchens are mostly hard surfaces. I find it uncomfortably loud so I keep a pair of inexpensive ear muffs in the cabinet over my Versa. Otherwise I am very happy with its performance as a smoothie maker.

It is not particularly loud, but it is not whisper quiet either. It is not loud in a shop environment, but it probably would be noticeable in a theater
