what's the noise threshold

You question "...I was speaking to whether it had noise attenuation like some surge protector/'power conditioners' for musicians - the larger 27 buck strip by this manufacturer does". Now that I understand the question the answer is still no. There are NO specialty plugs for noise, modem, etc. Just 7 electrical outlets...

This is a quality, but otherwise standard power strip... It does not have warning sounds, alarms, etc. (e.g. no noise...).

It does make some noise when running but is much quieter than previous units I have owned. I would estimate between 40 and 60 decibels when operating

The ambient noise level in my house runs about 49-50 db. If I start talking, the level rises to 60-62 db. I think the unit is pretty reliable and accurate.

I don't have much to compare it against, but I'd say its slightly loud, but not too bad. If it is completely silent, it's very noticeable, but otherwise, its not too bad.

Noise level is moderate. You can hear it when it is going but it is still comfortable to watch TV in my basement where the unit is. You can control the noise level by adjusting the fan speed.

Obviously some noise but don't consider it too noise. I'd consider it generally pretty quiet.

I don't know what you mean by noise. It works very well for my brother and myself who are extremely hard of hearing.

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

At low-medium it's almost silent. High is not too disruptive, turbo is loud enough it will interfere a bit.

It is quiet on the lowest setting. I take phone calls for various clients and the phone doesn't pick up the noise. No one at my work complaints about hearing it.

I have heard no noticeable noises because I use it for kids to listen to books on CD. When I tested it I heard nothing unusual. Hope that helped.

At high power levels there is a hum. At lower levels there is little or no noise.

I have had this item for some time and have never noticed a noise. I am pretty sensitive to noise, so I'd say no.

On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the noisiest, I'd have to give it a 4. But, I've never used it in my car, or other enclosed space. It doesn't cause you to need noise muffling head phones, but it's not whisper silent, either.

30 to 40 feet in a quiet environment. Can not have any significant extraneous noise levels.

Thank all for your responses. The unit is useless for me as I need to know the AVERAGE sound level over a period of time.

I'm curious about the noise level in a quiet office environment too. I'm sure it wouldn't interrupt anyone, but would everyone in the vicinity hear the sounds it makes while operating?
