Can someone please tell me if this is a quiet vacuum?

I've owned 5-10 vacuums over the years. This is by far the noisiest. When I vacuum my half bath and want to vacuum behind the door (which entails closing the door), I brace myself for the deafening sound, then quickly finish to get the door back open. I also make sure I turn the vacuum on after I unclick it from upright position (and opposite when turning it off) - the decibel level coming out of the top of the tube seems borderline dangerous to me.

Hi Rachel~sorry for the delay in answering~computer has been out for several weeks and just got a new one!! The Dyson is certainly quieter than my last one and I really haven't noticed much noise because I am so amazed with the machine~it is WONDERFUL!!! Thanks for your interest!! Merry Christmas!!!

Actually, no. It's quiet silent. I was surprised to hear it. I thought it would be way more noisy.

I don't find it to be any louder than my shop vac. My dog is even ok with it when used for drying.

It is sounds like an average vacuum cleaner. It is hard to create a good vacuum quietly.

I don't think any vacuum is quiet. However, I do not find it to be any louder than your average vacuum. It is a sturdy, well built vacuum, not excessive heavy. The only negative things I have found are the hose can get tangled close to the base area at times and the vacuum head is a bit long. My previous vacuums was shorter enabling me to get into smaller spaces. Other than that, it's a decent vacuum, however, I don't love it.

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.

It is definitely quieter than regular vaccums. I think it's better when supervised if you have many obstacles, that could be distracting but no more than just watching it and maybe use the remote to adjust the trajectory.

I would say it makes an average vacuum cleaner noise. It does not have a really high (or whiny timbre) I do not currently have any pets...so I can't say for sure.

It is quiet . I love this. I am a women and this feels like a vacuum but picks up like a big boy shop vac. Every time I use it I compliment myself for making a smart buying decision.

Hi, The one I had before this was a 12 amp "Dirt Devil." This one is slightly quieter but not by much. I guess I would say the noise level is average, but I haven't had much experience with a wide range of vacuums. My cat doesn't like it though and leaves the room while I use it.

Not louder at all. Of course you won't use a vacuum while somebody is sleeping. ;)

It's moderately quiet. Doesn't work very well for eliminating pet hair. I was disappointed and would gladly give mine away.

I do not know. I am sure you could find out from the manufacturer. No louder than any vacuum I have ever owned (usually Hoover).

Yes the vac. is quiet. I was not happy with it. I have owned an Electrolux for about 25 years, and really liked the looks of this one.. However when I got it, I was not pleased with it. You may like it, but I did not. Pleas don't let my displeasure with the machine sway your decision. I wanted one like the one I had, and they don't make them anymore..

Dear Anne,I have yet to find a vacuum cleaner which is quiet. I do not think that this model is any noisier than any other but, of course, you may disagree.I recommend that you do what my wife and I do: use ear plugs while vacuuming. Yes, this can be annoying, but it is better than possibly damaging your hearing. (My wife wears ear plugs when using a blow-dryer too.)Meanwhile, this vacuum cleans like a champ. Don't you agree?I hope this answer helps you.Lawrence H. Bulk

I don't feel it's too noisy at all. It's about the same as other vacuums, plus it works better.

It's no louder than any other vacuum I've had the pleasure of using, so I guess it would be a 3. I live in an apartment and fairly certain it doesn't disturb my neighbors
