How quiet is this shredder compared to the 79Ci?

It is quite enough, until the motor switches into high, which is often, then the unit is loud but not overly so.

Hello, I can't compare to the 79Ci, but can tell you that I am very happy with this shredder. I use it all the time in my household, it does not wake up the Baby, I can say that much. This shredder has done a great job for me and I am happy with the purchase. Hope that helps. Thanks.

I can't compare but I am extremely happy with the shredder as far as quality and how much it can shred at a time. recommend highly.

It makes what sounds like a little bell noise while it is shredding. It's most pronounced with you use the credit care shredder slot. Works great, just makes a strange noise.

I second CAT's response. I was actually constructing a response that was pretty much identical to CAT's. :) But to add to her response, for this price point and for a "Basics" shredder, it's relatively quiet. But if you're expecting the noise level to be on par with higher-end shredders specifically designed to mute the volume, you may need to reconsider.

I do not think it is loud and I believe it shreds reasonable fast. It really depends on your standard by which you judge it.

From the outside, it's very quiet. Inside, it's a tad less than a blow dryer. It depends on the speed.

not sure on db rating but it's quiet for an impact. Composite body also so it helps w/ noise. Sounds about as quiet as the IR2135 which is known for being on the quieter side. I have both, i grab the CP first every time.

It's very quiet. I have two WD Red drives installed and have the unit set to Quiet mode. I never hear any noise from it.

Hello Svy, this machine is extremely quiet! Very strong and sturdy and worth every penny!

I do not think it makes much noise at all. In all I am very satisfied with this shredder. I really like the microcut of the papers, how many sheets at a time, plus the size of the basket.

That's pretty subjective, but it's quieter than other shredders I've used - including much smaller ones. I don't find it to be terribly loud, but don't expect your dog not to bark at it!

I've several different styles of shredder and can say this one makes the least noise

I did not like this hair dryer as it quit working after about 10 months...only used maybe 3 times a week. Before that it was good. I would not say it was very quiet....probably about normal volume...best wishes

I think that it is very quiet. I only use it to backup my system and it is not on all of the time. I have not noticed any noise.

Yes, it is fairly quiet....my problem with this dryer is that it literally fell apart in less than a year...the plastic cracked around the nozzle and became dangerous to use...I buy Solano hair dryers..they are the only dryer that I know of that will be repaired by the manufacturer for life. I was very disappointed in the TOOLS hair dryer.

Not at all - I was frankly surprised at how quiet it actually is. Low hum is about it - even on high. I use it in my basement workshop and don't even notice it after a short time.

It was very noisy. I highly recommend the Amazon Basics model. It is quieter, has a bigger capacity (both page # you can shred at once and the bin to catch the shredded stuff). Please don't buy the Royal shredder, it's just awful.

The noise is so-so, not bad. I like the shredder and got onotherone for my son, and he also is happy with his.
