Any idea of the noise rating of the Jet unit? For the sake of comparison to other dust systems, I am looking for noise in decibels from 6ft away.

Don't have anything to measure the db, but I can tell you that I don't find the noise to be of any consequence. My tools make LOT's more noise than the collector. I can tell you it's quieter than a shop vac; gave up using my vac and now only use the collector. Does a great job of this as well as dust and chip control. Have probably had this unit 4 years now and am still using the original bags, and it gets used a lot; sometimes 6 hrs per day. Hope this helps

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.

Well it is noisey but I can't tell how noisey her's is. It's not as noisey as my old vacuum but it's definitely not quiet. I wouldn't recommend you buying this vacuum either way. It's not very good and is overpriced.

They're still pretty noticeable, not like jet engine but still fairly audible depending on how close you are to it. I sit fairly close to it and can hear it, its not obtrusive and if you have it far away you wouldn't notice it. I would try for quieter If it'll be close by you and Noctua's are always nice, but it you have it far away I wouldn't bother.

I always use hearing protection when I use the dust collector. I don't consider the noise from it excessive though. It is not as loud as using a table saw. The noise is more of a low tone noise versus a high frequency noise.

Its VERY quite on fan, I would say on par with a split unit, even for a noise sensitive person like me (noise level is the only thing I look at when getting AC unit for bedroom), but when the compressor is running it does make a louder noise. I sleep with earplugs regardless, this is the only unit that won't wake me up at night.

I don't know the decibel ratings but I did recognize the fan got more quiet in eco mode. In normal mode, you can barely hear it 14 feet away and eco mode I'm standing about 9 feet away before I start to even slightly hear it. Keep in mind the brightness dims in eco-mode too. Either way, its pretty quiet compared to most other projectors I've used.

Have had no noise with our unit. Very quiet.... but try it and if does not stop, send back. Hope this helps

It gets pretty loud. I think you would still hear it with the jets on but it may not be loud enough for you. i know when i use this in the living room it is pretty loud. also it would depend on the music and the recording quality.

You can't completely filter out noise if you're going to move air. I sprang $300 on an Oransi, and it's only marginally quieter, but it is. This one seems to produce a lower white noise, i suspect from the fan/motor. We (9-year-old ears) can't detect any stand-out pitches.

I only got to use mine 3 times before it went in the shop but I dont recall a sound like that. I did find out my noise is from a bad hepa filter and roller brush...neither of which were replaced before I got it or are covered under the warranty. I am really wondering now what gets replaced on these "reconditioned" units. Knowing that, you may want to have it checked out. Good luck :-D

It is the most quiet on the market. Pair it with a Eheim canister filter and you will have to be really close to hear anything. Put it this way, I hear the air bubbles when the hit the surface. Remember, if you get the 500, you have to block off one output or use both.

It is a powerful motor so not super quiet unlike other dryers in the market. As a professional stylist I look for power in the blower. I don't think the noise it does make is super loud, I personally would consider it to be average in noise level.

Comparatively quiet, yes. However, am basing that on using those dual fan monsters during 80s (hate dating myself that way ;/ ) that were the size of a leaf blower and sounded like the SR-71 Blackbird upon takeoff.

I had no problem with noise from the unit. Even slept with it in a small bedroom and was surprised I didn't notice it after a short while. It is rated for 800 square ft. which meant I had to move it around until the problem resolved, but that was my fault for not paying attention to the details. Otherwise very pleased with the product. Hope this helps.

You will have no issues with noise with this unit. It is a very quite motor and especially at the speed of 1.5 you will barely hear anything

Maybe an upgrade? Check the Merv specs. If that doesn't help , email Lennox. I love mine. No dust!

I have not used them that way, so I won't venture a guess. I certainly notice the sound cancellation effects around the house and in the office, but have not tested them against a jet engine!
