If you were playing it outside in a very acoustic area yes. If you are playing inside the you can hear it a room or two away. It also depends on how hard you are playing it as well.

no, not if your windows and doors are all closed. however if theres anyone or anything asleep in the house, they wont be for long. :P

It's not that loud. Probably more comparable to an acoustic guitar and much quieter than a trumpet or saxophone.

It is loud enough. I have had it for almost two years and I turn it on when I get ready to leave my home. I can hear it over the shower. Sometimes when I am cleaning I can hear it over the vacuum. So it being outside it might be. Open spaces may not be the best cuz the sounds needs something to bounce off of. If you are just looking for something to have in the background for outside it is perfect.

It's loud enough that I wouldn't put it in an open space where people are working. With the door shut on our server closet, I can still hear it a little bit (I sit about 20' from it) because of the vent duct between the office and the closet.

The machine is very quiet and I seriously doubt your neighbors would hear you. They are more likely to hear you walking to the machine than using it. Hope this helps.

In my opinion not at all loud, you can here it zapping bugs with a low volume crackle. Mine is about 50 feet from my patio and is not bothersome at all. My neighbor is about same distance and has never said anything to me.

Honestly, I can hear it. It is not super loud but if I get close to it, I can hear it. It seems to work but I had to buy several because I have a large yard and it just moved them to other parts of my yard.

A bit louder than a Honda generator. I ran it on the side of my house and was able to watch TV about 25 feet away in my house with no problems. My house is well insulated and has newer windows. That may be a factor also. Thought originally I would have to build a sound barrier but didn't need to. Only heard a hum.

There is no change when the windows are closed. With the window open just a little the deflectors make the window noise a little quieter.

It's pretty quiet and will not bother neighbors, unless they live 5 or 6 feet away. There is a low noise but it is not bad at all.

It is really loud. but if you use it in a big room - like a bedroom - and close the door - not so bad. but if you use it in the bathroom - which is usually small - and close the door, you can hear the noise in like the whole house. but the noise is the only negative

Neighbors would definitely would not complain. It is not very loud. I always run at 2/3 capacity and find it is at a very tolerable level. I can imagine putting a towel under it and you almost wouldn't hear it. hope this helps/ i am very happy with this machine.

Not super loud. More like annoying. I've only heard mine up close. Haven't tried to see what it sounds like from a distance. Anybody checked to see if the sound can be heard from a distance?

Not overly loud, I run mine inside a separate building and can't hear it inside my house. You certainly would not won't to be in the room with it for ant length of time.

Is not very loud, sounds like a small air compressor running. I can hear mine run from outside closed garage.

I have my unit downstairs. I can hear mine upstairs in my office with the door shut. Plenty loud for me.

It isn't the quietest device but I'd think you'd be fine if the door was closed. You could consider a low playing radio in the background to mask it more.

I think it's a bit louder than a lawn mower but it's tough to say. Lawnmowers eventually get turned off. I had this thing running for three days so it can wear on your ears. When I first fired it up during hurricane Irene I opened my garage door a bit so that the exhaust would vent outside. It was mostly inside though. It is NOT waterproof so you have to figure something out - front porch, build and enclosure or something.
