How would you describe the noise level?

Well it is relative - I used to get up in the morning and take my old blade grinder into the garage to grind because it was so loud. I stay in the kitchen and grind now and you can still hear it in the master suite but not as startling and more of a lower frequency. We love this unit and will never go back to a blade grinder again.

It's like a low, deep growl and not some high pitched whine most of the other counter-top appliances make. It's never an overriding sound that interrupts conversation; listening to TV or music your mileage will vary based on your preferences. I used a decibel meter on the iPhone and it registered ~75 from 3 feet and 70 from 10 feet when on; normal background level was 45-50 around my large room.

Moderate. In our case, the bedroom is down the hall from the kitchen and with a closed door you can barely hear the sound and if one of us is sleeping, it will not wake us up. If you are in the kitchen, you will not want to try talking over its sound.

Not very loud. Much quieter than the blade grinder I had previously. I would recommend this grinder. Sturdy and does a great job of grinding. Adjustable from chunky to powder. I have used this for about two years and am very pleased with it. Would buy again.

My husband's computer is about 12 ft away and he said "When it does make noise, it is at such a low level I can tune it out easily. Kinda like "white noise". Most of the time I can't hear a thing."

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.

Medium to white noise. Ours is about 7 feet from my head, and I've been able to go to sleep with no trouble with it on.

The noise level is very acceptable, considering the fact that you have no electric. Solid generator. Bought mine 6 yrs ago, money well spent.

I don't think it's noisy at all. The only noticeable sound I can recall of comes from the fan, still quite discrete.

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

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.

Not very noisy, just a consistent hum, with the hum louder when on high speed.

The noise level is based on how fast you set the fan. On the lowest setting it is pretty quiet. Even on the highest setting it isn't that loud.

It is not bad. We use it in a room with other ambient noise so we don't notice it at all. In a super quiet room you may hear it.

Loudness mfg rated it at: Low tone harmonized sound. -115 dB/139 dB (at 2 meters/at 4 inches from the source). The tone produced I am guessing is about in the 800-1000 hz range. go to he mfg web site and you can hear the sound that is produced.

Using a sound meter app a "click" registers 15 to 20db at 4" distance. At 2 feet (arm's length) it is 5 to 10db. Not sure how else to quantify the noise level for you.

It's not a lot of noise. I use a headset for work and I can hear easily without having to turn it off.

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.

Very quiet. The only time you will hear it is when it clicks on or clicks off.
