How loud is the blower? Annoying if used indoors?

Hold a hair dryer to your ear. It's really not THAT loud, but it is loud. My youngest was scared of the noise for about a 1/2 day until she realized it was a huge bounce house. After that? All she wanted was in that thing. This is great in the winter. Keeps kids busy for hours.

It's loud. The kids don't mind... And it isn't to horrible once it's fully inflated.... Sounds like a hair dryer on a low setting.

It's not as loud as you'd think. But to use it indoors might be a bit much. Depending on where you would place it as well as the amount of kids playing it could drown out any annoyance

Yes I would say it's pretty loud maybe comparable to a hairdryer or two hairdryers at the same time

We use it in an enclosed basement and it is certainly tolerable for the amount of time it is on. Rough comparison I would say it is about as loud as a vacuum cleaner or a noisy hair dryer.

Not annoying at all. It is not silent by any means. Just put the blower away from where you will be sitting and it should be alright. I have used mine several times indoors.

This is a question that might be very personal. I consider the sound loud, but certainly not annoying. The machine works very well, so you have to consider if another machine that is quieter will work as well. Hopefully this answered your question.

I can't hear it running in the house with the windows closed. I have no problem carrying on a conversation, without screaming, standing right next to it when it is running . It is quieter than my lawn mower, pressure washer and snow blower. It's quieter then I expected it to be.

Yes, it is loud. I was warned by one the reviews before buying it, but bought it anyway. I am happy with the machine overall, but the noise has got the biggest downside.

Its definitely not very loud. Just as loud or quiet as a good normal hand-held hair dryer.

It is loud for a small room (although I have used it in my living room and was actually able to talk on the phone but it was just a lot of background noise), but I used it indoors during a party at a rental hall in a firehouse and it was fine.

Rather than a blower per se, it has a circulation fan. It can be heard from across the room but not overly noisy. Also a filter for that on the back of the unti can be washed time to time. On my second winter season with this unit and it is going strong and warms my loft nicely. Much prefer this over the forced air furnace.

It's not quiet. I used a sound level meter to compare it to a couple other units and it's literally 10-20 times louder. The sound it makes is also particularly annoying.

It's very loud. Can't do anything else while its on. But its a great dust collector and very efficient. Just not quiet. Louder than a shop vac.

If you have space with higher ceilings, you could use inside. The blower sounds like an old box style fan on high.

Not much on blower function but on mulching/vacuum it is! Infact my neighbor complaint about the LOUD noise.

not loud at all. I would use it indoors if we had a room big enough and tall enough

About as loud as a small compressor. I have it running a vacuum table inside and I can hear it a little from the next room with the door closed.

It's loud but not obnoxious, we use it in the bedroom and it does not effect the rest of the house.

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.

It is loud very loud this fan is more for a garage or shop.mine is in the garage and it does a great job but it's way to loud for indoors.

Well, I think quiet is relative. It's a lot less noisy than some blow dryers I've owned, but it still makes noise...more like an air blowing "hum" than a loud gushing air sound. Hope that makes sense!
