Not noisy at all...when it's cooling water you can hardly tell its on...but when it's drawing water from the bottle below its more noisy then.....but that doesn't take too long.Be wary of the plastic pins that the door pivots on...one broke quickly and makes the door not stable when closed. Walmart carries this exact model, so check price there as well

It has abit of noise if you haven't had a waterer before - but it is alot quieter than any others I have had. pump does have slight vibration but I have 2 cats & 2 dogs & it took them no time to get used to it after being scared of it at first. give it a few days & neither you nor your animals will even hear it anymore!

It should maintain the pressure so it should be instantaneous. If it's not doing that, then there may be a leak (in the pipes, in the seals, in the connections, etc.). And, depends on what you mean by "loud". Not loud to me; not loud enough to drown out a conversation, but certainly loud enough that you don't really want it to be in your living quarters. It should be just a humming sort of sound, the motor and pump running, no squeals or grinding sounds.

It makes a fair amount of noise. I'm not sure how much, but at any rate, the guy beside my office is able to hear when I'm getting up or going to bed. But that's up to the thickness of your walls. I tend to deflate it like a 'regular' mattress (so it almost silently hisses) without the power pump when I wake up, so I haven't run into many problems.

It is a diaphragm pump, so they do vibrate when running. If it is mounted using the rubber mounts and isn't touching anything else, it should be pretty quiet.

standing 3 feet away from this pump you can only hear a very soft hum which is unavoidable,and my tank has water falling in it which completely covers the sound,definitely far from noisy,hope this helps...

The pump makes a little noise, but not much at all. I cannot hear it from the bedroom in out small home.

Yes, I find it fairly loud. On my machine, anyway, which is older and ready to be replaced because it leaks.

I would not call it noisy but you can hear it run. The compressor makes a soft noise while running and every 6 minutes you hear the ice dropping in the basket. Nothing about the noise it makes is excessive in my opinion.

Depending on where the pump is sitting, it may be vibrating on the surface. It will make some noise, but compatative to other air pumps this one is quiet. You can also try putting a washcloth underneath it.

Yes, there is noise as it pumps the water. It's not deafeningly loud, but it's loud.

mine makes no noise at all as long as keep fountain filled and clean all parts and pump regularly. I have had mine almost a year and I and cats love it.

I haven't replaced the pump. The pump itself isn't noisy, but it makes the electrical cords for the pump and heater rattle because the design is very poor. Instead of having an opening in the part of the top that the water pours into that would allow the cords to run outside, instead they run through it. This makes me hate the item.

Personally, I don't find it to be too noisy. It's considerably less noisy than my compressor. It's just like a whirring/windy sound from a couple of fans spinning. But you might check with the manufacturer for the decibel rating for a less subjective appraisal.

My pump runs very quiet especially compared to my old pump. I don't think there is noise after releasing the float for about 15 seconds.

Assuming the pump itself is OK, it tends to be noisier when the voltage is low or when the pump mounts are loose/vibrate.
