How quiet are the clippers? My dog freaks out with my old clippers.

They aren't totally quiet but the do make a buzzing sound. My dogs aren't freaked at all. I shaved my Aussie mix yesterday. He was very calm even though he is only shaved when the weather starts to warm up AND it was the first time I used the device on him.

They emit a low hum. Fairly quiet as far as clippers go, especially if you spray them with the cooling lubricant every 15 mins or so.

They do make a mild buzzing sound but nothing like the old Clippers I have. They do an amazing job of cutting the hair. .i would totally recommend them..

I think they are relatively quiet. I don't have much to compare it with but it's definitely not terrifying. My dog doesn't mind the buzz at all and neither do i

Our dogs are giant breed and relatively young (ages 4-7), so I'm not comfortable answering about old dogs. The noise is rather like a hissing sound (like an exaggerated form of the sound aerosol hairspray makes) and it releases a calming pheromone. It's not loud (not like an airhorn or anything like that) but for some reason the dogs find it an unpleasant sound and after a bit they stop. As to biting the groomer, I might suggest you talk with a dog trainer for ideas on that. We've had great luck with the Petsmart trainers in our area in helping solve some of our rescue dog issues.

It is very quiet. I have to be in the room with to hear it. However, I would think a dog would be okay since their hearing and sense of smell is so much more acute than ours plus I think the dog would get to where it is in a very short time.

I will say that is less noisy than the groomers equipment. My dogs stayed pretty calm during their session. I have 2 Maltese boys and one of them is pretty sensitive to noise, and he was fine.

They are actually pretty quiet. They are quieter than the hair clippers my husband uses.

Try adjusting your blade or asking a local groomer. Mine cut, but they are very slow. I switch back and forth between human clippers and these. For me I use them for in between grooming

I Agree with Lulu, Maybe you need to turn the Clipper speed up a little on the side of the Clipper. You could also check on YouTube To make sure are holding the Clipper correctly. I use these Clippers everyday. Best of luck to you.

I haven't used these clippers on my dog, I purchased to use for cutting my 2 yr olds hair because of the claim to be quieter and having rounded tips (I figured they wouldn't scratch as much). After trying them out I really don't find these clippers quieter than another set I purchased, which was just as quiet and actually cut hair better and more even then this particular set...so on a dog I'm not sure they would be the best option.

I have 4 min schnauzers - one is very sensitive to high pitched sounds. No one seemed bothered by it. But since we know only one out if four is bothered by those sonic pet trainers maybe your pup is super sensitive. It is a good elliptical. Just bad for my hips.

not sure, but the concern would be operational performance and am not sure how loudness is a part of that. I just used my clipper yesterday and it kicks ass, no constant repeat passes over same area, can basically cut my own hair,and the cost was reasonable after wasting my money on conair clippers that only lasted a couple years each.

"Quiet" is in the ears of the beholder, but my fraidy cat doesn't have any problem with the noise level. I was worried about the noise level too, but she's fine with these clippers.

I have used this for almost 2 years now.My dogs & cat don't seem to mind the sound at all.I would say it is less loud than a full size clipper.However,I would let your pet hear the sound before you start to use it on your dog/cat Let them see it,and sniff it. I love it & this is ny second one!good luck.

Yes you can get a very close buzz with these clippers. Wahl in my opinion are the best company on the market for their clippers. They will last you for many many years also.

...... actually, I bought the clippers for my daughter as a gift. She has been very happy with them and after more than a year they still are functioning very well. Otherwise, this device is simple enough to use. It almost sounds like yours are somehow defective and you need to trade in for a replacement.

Definetly a hum instead of a buzz. My poodles hate it when I try to trim their faces with any other clipper.

Pretty quite...not very very quite. Not loud at all compared to other clippers.
