would the noise interrupt and office environment? also, is it comfortable to rest feet when not in operation? can the heat mode be turned off?

we don't think it would interrupt it. he runs while watching tv and we don't have to adjust the volume at all. is it comfy while not in use depends on the person I suppose. the 'rollers' stick up a bit but I think there is plenty of room to maneuver around them if you don't like the feel. and yes, the heat mode is the last setting on the massager. one push starts the massaging, the next push turns on the heat and the final push turns off the equipment. hope this helps you make your decision :)

I'm curious about the noise level in a quiet office environment too. I'm sure it wouldn't interrupt anyone, but would everyone in the vicinity hear the sounds it makes while operating?

noise is no problem, it is quiet enough, the only noise they'd probably hear though are the "Oh's and ah's" from your happy self being massaged in delight.

Havn't used the G505 gaming yet, however, heavy business excel files seem to heat up the front left of the key board a bit. Not real bad. I have had no noise problems at all under heavy business usage in very hot weather.

I think it's too noisy for an open office environment. It makes a whirring sound that gets louder as you get it up to speed, and it makes clicking sounds as it slips into and out of smooth rotation.

It's noticeable, but not loud.(except when it first powers up for about 60 secs). I keep mine in a seperate room, because my other gear is silent compared to it, but it's not nearly as loud as a hp or cisco server.

That was my concern as well as I have a home office and did not want to have AC or a fan blowing when I use the PC. This PC is very fast and quiet; and in respond to your question; I have never felt any heat coming from under my desk. Some PC radiate heat and acquire allot of dust which can affect the performance; I had this PC for over a year. Hope I have answered your questions.

Not loud at all. Use it in the office, just don't let them catch you smiling! My wife has foot surgery and uses it every day. I love it because I don't need to do the foot rubs! This machine is the best thing out there for foot relief. V

How close are your coworkers? What is the background noise like in the office? This is not a quiet keyboard, but if you have a reasonable level of white noise, or reasonably sized cubes, it won't be an issue.I love this keyboard and would make my coworkers deal even if I sat right next to one.

Yes, it does make a noise but I did not notice that the hard drive goes into stand-by.For the second question : I think personally I can go to sleep even if there is a little noise in the room but if I speak generally I think the majority of people will find it difficult to sleep while this router is present in the same room.

It is not loud at all. However, it does get a bit warm. I have it sitting on my desk and it's been running good without issues. I'd say to make sure there's ventilation wherever you put it.

Neither loud nor quiet. It's not as noisy as a Model M or as soft as a laptop keyboard. I think it is appropriate for shared offices (I use it in one).

I've used it for meetings and movie watching without noticing the fan noise. I would say it is not bothersome.

It is loud for in office installation. The PoE+ needs to be cooled down properly.

It isnt extremely noisy but after a lot of use it starts to get louder. I wouldn't use it at the office because it gives off a whirling sound that some people find annoying. I like to use it at home when I'm watching tv where the only people around who I can bother are my roommates. Try it out though and see if anyone has a problem with it.

First of all, I have a hearing problem - so please take that into consideration. I do not find this machine loud. Will someone coming into your office hear it? Yes. But will they have to talk louder to overcome it, absolutely not. To me, the sound it makes is similar to the someone using a paper shredder, but not nearly as loud. It won't disturb the people in the office next to you, if this is your concern. This machine will relax your feet and I find a 15 minute session gives great foot relief.

I've found the fan noise to be similar to other ultrabook-style laptops if I'm using it intensively. It's not excessively loud, but it is noticeable, especially if you're sensitive to higher frequency noises.

It is not silent and it is not noisy. You can easily hold a conversation while standing next to it. It is quieter than window air conditioners I've been around. If it is running next to the head of the bed while you are trying to sleep, there is no doubt you will know it is there. Will it annoy you? My wife is phonophobic and on low speed it didn't bother her: she described it as a white noise she could overlook.

I have it in an office waiting area setting. It does not seem to make much noise, its actually pretty quiet. Hope it helps
