tell me about the noise it makes

Much quieter than my former shredder. Honestly, I love this thing. It shreds things up tiny and isn't "too" loud. I am really glad I bought it. I has a bigger bin than my old shredder and I can look through the bin door. Get it, you won't regret it.

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.

Rita, I have one of these shredders. I won't tell you it is quiet, but I think it sounds like a shredder. It does a super job of shredding documents. I have no problem with it.

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.

It is not noisy. There is a slight but deep running sound and a tinkling sound made as the paper is actually being shredded. Overall, there is less noise than I have seen with other shredders. The paper feed slot is narrower than on my old Royal shredder. This takes s little more feed-in time, but provides more safety for the fingers of children. The tiny micro cut makes this one a real shredder, and it shreds sufficient documents simultaneously for my purposes. I bought it for a home office and for personal use. If it lasts a long time, as my old Royal did, it will be perfect in every respect. You will like the micro cut! It is not noisy.

When it is running it sounds like a blender at low speed....even when shredding cardboard or something thicker. The motor noise is a constant low hum no matter how many documents are being shredded at once. In other words the motor does not sound like it is working harder when shredding thicker things. There is a metal ringing/clicking sound sometimes when shredding thicker things...this is the finger guards touching together...I think....hope this helps...so far I am very happy with this shredder.

It makes a trickling noise but not really loud. It's quite calming. I have mine sitting on my kitchen counter.

It's got a pretty distinctive "clap-clap" sound. About as loud as you'd make with your hands. There are some youtube videos that demonstrate it.

It is noisy. I have to turn it as low as I can to sleep but I still love it. It works well.

It doesn't make any noise by itself. HOWEVER, if you kind of jiggle it quickly it ends up looking and *sounding* like a medium to large insect having trouble flying, as if it's wings are flailing around and hitting things. That got my cats (all three of them--5 month kitten, 3 years old, and 7 years old) going crazy. They loved it even before I did that though.

It's a fairly loud constant beep sound. The air puff is strong and comes out about 3 seconds after the sound. I love this product. I was having lots of issues with my cats, and this simple thing makes life lots easier. My cats learned very quickly too. They already run at the sound, so they never get the air puff in their faces anymore.

It does not make noise. However, it is the softest, most lovable thing to squish!

It's pretty loud. I'd compare the sound level to a vaccuum cleaner or a dust buster maybe.

It isn't loud at all. There is a slight hum, but not one you really notice. If you ever heard a small fan, the ones you push the button and they blow in your face, it's kind of like that.

I personally do not know but it is quite loud. I have had it for a year and never felt it was not loud enough.

I guess its more of a "whoosh" sound. Its definitely louder than a pc fan. You will hear it running. Its not super loud though, but if its the only thing on in your room you'll know its there.

It makes some noise but it's not loud by any means. And once it breaks it's very quiet!

No mam, it makes a very high pitched "ting ting" sound. It's really quite annoying but my little girl loves her so I deal. Haha

yes it makes a noise. it is subtle but it does make a high pitched squeal that you can hear if you listening for it.

My daughter got one for Christmas and yes it does make kind of what I would describe as a robotic sound when it moves its arms. It is not real loud but you can definitely hear it. It doesn't seem to bother my daughter and I have gotten use to it.

It ofcourse makes noise, but less than a lawn mower. You run it outside and I can hear it in the house, but it doesn't bother us.

sounds kinda crappy to me =/ it gets that crackling noise if it's too loud/heavy. i'm no expert though
