Is the motor quiet ?

No really quiet or loud.... If you want power it makes noise, but less than a vacuum cleaner !!!

Not at all. You hear the ice fall into the bin, but not any motor noise. I installed it in a tv room and I'm not bothered by any noise.

Mine seems to always have the motor running. Mine works great and is not broke. It is not the quietest fan however I have nothing to worry about. I would call then manufacture for more information.

It's much quieter than many other machines. It's not silent, but it's certainly not loud.

It is noiseless. The only way that I know it's on is by waiting to see if it starts swinging. I'm very satisfied with this swing so far and did quite a bit of research prior to purchasing. :)

Yes, it is very quiet. It has 3 fan speeds. I have it in a bedroom, so to make it even quieter I put a strip of heavy felt on the sill to cut down on the compressor noise.

Extremely acceptable noise level. Of course there is a motor noise, but it certainly doesn't 'scream at you', if that's what you mean.

Yes. It is a very quiet machine we have it built-in into our cabinetry in our living room. Nice machine

It is very quiet. At one time the left peddle arm became loose and it started clicking and eventually came off but I got the right tool and tightened it up and it is quiet again.

I don't remember it being loud, just a little motorized noise. You should return it and have it replaced if it's loud! Good luck!:)

For the most part, yes. There is a very faint hum of the motor and a bit of a trickle. I actually had to go turn one on to see if it made noise as it is not something intrusive at all. I have three of them in our house.

It isn't very loud at all, in fact the water coming out hitting the water in the bottom makes more sound than the unit its self , I don't hear the motor, just the sound of water. I purchased a smaller cheaper unit a few months prior and the motor was lound, I have could hearing and it would wake me so I had to return it. Hope this helps.

Mine is super quiet. I have to look at it to make sure it is still running.

No, the fan isn't loud. The motor is loud, and annoying as hell. I found an awesome loud can with a quiet motor and it's perfect. Loud whoosh without the annoying, loud whine is what you're looking for.

Yes it is Quiet, but the motors bite into your body, they have no padding, I returned mine...

Yes and exceptionally quiet. However we had to rerun it as it was blandly damaged during shipping

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