How loud is this tumbler when in operation? What could you compare the noise level to? Would the neighbors complain?

Neighbors would definitely would not complain. It is not very loud. I always run at 2/3 capacity and find it is at a very tolerable level. I can imagine putting a towel under it and you almost wouldn't hear it. hope this helps/ i am very happy with this machine.

I guess it depends on how thin your walls are and how well you can hear your neighbors. The tumbler isn't loud but the rocks inside it may make it loud enough to bother close neighbors that are sensitive to sound from your side of the wall.

The motor is extremely quiet, just a hum. The rocks, however, can make some noise, especially big ones, but not really too much. You wouldn't want it in your living room. Mine is in my basement and I can barely hear it on the next floor. It's quieter than a window air conditioner. You can make it quieter by adding sawdust. You can also glue some inner tube inside the lid which makes it quieter and last longer.

You need to use it in the garage or front/back porch....not in the house. It's not loud enough to bother neighbors.

it is about as loud as a dishwasher..... i could care less about my neighbors when my health is the major goal.lol. it will wake my children if the doors are left open. a smoothie doesnt take long so I wouldn't worry too much.

It is not bad, I use it in our garage which is under our house and when I leave the garage and go into the basement I close the door and I don't hear it in the laundry room. I have it on a Formica toped bench, it doesn't walk. Seems to get a little louder the longer it runs so if you only run it for an hour or so, should be Ok. Depends a lot on your neighbors though, it's been 25 years since I lived in an apartment, but I do remember some neighbors could be a problem over anything.

I found it not as loud as my other sweeper, which I didn't think was bad at all (Eureka, Mac). However, I have a home. not an apartment. Hope that helps.

It's loud but not horrible. We have it set up outside on the back porch and we just leave it. I put a $6 plastic tote from Target upside down on top of the blower when we aren't using it to keep it dry.

We like our fan. Have it out on our patio. Have not noticed any loud noise. Very quiet! Hope this helps.

It's not terribly loud. My shop vac is noisier. Most all of the tools it would be used with are going to be noisier. Good hearing protection should be used regardless of what dust collector is used I have owned mine for two years now and it is performing very well. Much less dust than my previous unit which is why I upgraded. It handles a couple tools at the same time very well. I recommend it. Might cost a bit more than others but worth it.

Yes, it is a little noisy but not unbearable. I have shredded for 45 minutes without being annoyed by the sound. It is micro and it is moderately fast.

K. I got this for a second house. I haven't been there since installed, but my nephew is saying that it is loud. Reach out 2/1, and I will give you an update.

I had this in an office next to a Keurig. The Verismo was much louder than the Keurig, but not so loud as to be a distraction to our office environment which is fairly quiet. The Verismo makes a vibrating/hum type noise as it draws water from the tank to heat. Hope that helps!

Mine has hard rubber casters so it is as quiet as these can be. It makes some small noise, but I think a lot would depend upon the surface you are pushing the cart over and whether there was an echo in a corridor. This cart has been very useful around the house, but it has never been outside.

Our is loud as well. It is not similar noise compared with our old one, but it is loud. Our kitchen is separated, so we don't mind.

I think it is somewhat loud, but it is significantly less loud if you hold it in your hands rather than have it sitting on the counter. If you need it really quiet, you can always put a towel around it (I've done this when grinding coffee at night).

I just got a B40 for Xmas. The "slight vibration" as Keurig calls it, when it starts up in the morning and in between cups is very loud to say the least. It sounds like one of those air tools used at the tire store. I live in an apartment and the manager left me a noise warning under the door today, telling me several of my neighbors have complained about the loud noise at 6:30AM. If I receive two more warnings, I can be evicted with out notice. So it looks like my Keurig is going back. :( I really wish Keurig would offer a solution.

How close are your neighbors? My kids say they can hear it from upstairs and all conversations and TV programs get put on pause when it is running. It isn't horrible it isn't stealthy either. If you are blending ice or frozen fruit then it is even louder than when you are just blending raw veggies. It is still totally worth it though! It is a great product.

it shouldnt be very loud. my mother in law got it to help keep her place cool and she says it worked great. she would have said if had been noisy. the only downside is it burnt out fast from leaving it on all night.

Yes it is pretty loud. not as loud as crushing ice in a blender but far from quiet. To work properly you need about a tray of ice. It's a pretty situational appliance but it does come in very handy when unexpected guests stop by and you have no chilled ice. how well it works 8/10, how practical it is 5/10. very cool item over though.
