How loud is the machine? What is the sound level compared to?

The machine is not that loud when turned on, its soft. But crushing ice makes half the sound as your blender when you blend fruits.

It's pretty loud. I'd compare the sound level to a vaccuum cleaner or a dust buster maybe.

Sound level is comparable to a hand drill (at work, not free-spinning). Most of the noise is caused by the ice, not the motor. It's fast enough that the noise is short-lived.

It's about as loud as the ice crusher on the door of the refrigerator. But it works really fast, so the noise hasn't bothered me at all.

I haven't used it in almost a year...but I do not recall it being loud at all. It lasted the entire time of my daughter's party until we turned it off.

It isn't very loud at all, in fact the water coming out hitting the water in the bottom makes more sound than the unit its self , I don't hear the motor, just the sound of water. I purchased a smaller cheaper unit a few months prior and the motor was lound, I have could hearing and it would wake me so I had to return it. Hope this helps.

There is a loud and not as loud. I have duct tape over the speaker and put it in a drawer and can still hear it just fine. Really good investment. We use ours every night monitoring kids getting up and out of bedrooms.

Hello ,Thank youfor messaging us!The compression machine isn't loud at all, it has a motor to help compress for you. You just have to set up timer and pressure knob and your all set. Really easy to set up and works Great!Best RegardsErica

It is so quiet you really can't hear it. Don't let that keep you from buying it though. It is an awesome machine.

I don't remember it being loud, just a little motorized noise. You should return it and have it replaced if it's loud! Good luck!:)

Not loud at all. It's quieter than every regular stapler I've ever used. If you are comparing it to the big staplers that can handle 50+ pages, this is nowhere near that level of sound.

Two levels: quieter and mid-level. Some baby and toddler toys are ridiculously loud! This is not one of those.

It's not very loud. You can put it next to baby's head, but honestly, when I used it, I had to change the set of batteries every two days since it was on the highest volume always. I only use my other munchkin noise machine that plugs into the wall.

It's no louder than a Keurig Machine is. In an office break room or kitchen it would be fine. Just be aware it goes through water VERY quickly.

I wouldn't say it's loud. Just like most other kids toys really. There isn't a volume button as such but there is a button on the right that will toggle through different beats/tunes before turning the background tunes off at which point only the drums make a noise when hit.

No, the machine's noise is minimum and nice. You can check it out on YouTube.

Not loud at all. The machine is not a real great air filtering wonder. Air volume is low. Fan needs higher speed. I wouldn't buy it again.

It's pretty loud - you're not going to want to inflate this with other people sleeping. But it's not as loud as some I've heard. I had one with an external pump and that was like a jet engine. This is more like a blow dryer.

It is very loud. When it failed about a year after we bought it the repairman told us many people believe the machine is broken when it is making a normal amount of noise. Many problems with this unit, which I chose because it was the lowest cost model at Lowe's.

It's tough to compare it to anything because the noise it makes is unlike any other shop machine. It's on the low pitched side and way, way less than a shop vac. It turns into a background noise and isn't objectionable, at least to me. You can listen to music while it's on though you'll need to crank up the volume another notch or two.
