Is it very loud when being used? We'd like to use it in a guinea pig cage, but we don't won't to give our piggies a heart attack!

not extremely, but like a pint size Hoover. I don't think it would be good for that unless you take them out of cage and away while you do that.

We use it for around the bird cage. The bird doesn't mind the noise. (It doesn't phase the dog either). However, I think the bird would go nuts if we used it inside the cage. I'd recommend taking the piggies out while cleaning:)

Having been surrounded by loud dryers at show I have found this one to be fairly quiet. I have read many reviews about it being loud but compared to many, many others I have been around it is NOT loud. My Golden actually likes this better than my personal hairdryer. Hope that helps. I really have been impressed with the quality of this little dryer.

The sound is loud. It depends on how close to the bedrooms you place it as to whether it would wake the family.We have used ours on a storage/sitting bench in front of our kitchen window.Our sheltie would jump up ,look out the window and bark at everything that she saw. We tried several ways to stop her. It only took about 3 days for her to avoid the bench completely. I have had it turned off for about 2 months and she never has jumped up again. This product was a really wonderful solution for us.

It's not very loud at all, I was surprised how quiet/relaxing the pump is while running at a high speed. I wouldn't recommend running anything at full speed, there is no need for that if you have cats.

It is still fairly loud. The lower setting isn't too loud but if you really want to move things, you'll probably need it on the higher setting and it's noticeably louder.

It's not very loud. You can put it next to baby's head, but honestly, when I used it, I had to change the set of batteries every two days since it was on the highest volume always. I only use my other munchkin noise machine that plugs into the wall.

It is not super loud, but there is a fair amount of noise. However, I have no way of knowing if a dog would be frightened by the noise, especially if you are trying to use it to trim nails.

It can get pretty loud. We turn it up higher during the day when our 6 year old and dogs are running around the house and lower when we are all asleep at night. Either way, you can hear the sound machine on the baby monitor and I would definitely say it is louder than a high powered fan.

It is very loud. Can't be used in a room where conversations take place. The fan runs continuously (which is unnecessary in my opinion) & the compressor kicks in when it needs to (& then it gets louder).

It is not loud at all. However, it does get a bit warm. I have it sitting on my desk and it's been running good without issues. I'd say to make sure there's ventilation wherever you put it.

Well I wouldn't want it in the room if I was trying to take a nap but I use it outside to clean my tankless hot water heater. In other words, yes it is rather loud but not overly irritating. I guess it all depends on what you are going to use it for, where, and for what period of time.

It is not quiet but not too loud to be disturbing. I have compressor that are way louder. It is about the same sound level as your car engine.

We are using it in a salon atmosphere where blow dryers are going throughout the day, so I had not noticed if there was much "noise" coming from the unit. Also, we keep it in the back of the salon where it is coolest in the winter. It doesn't appear to be loud but yes, I can hear it blowing when I am close by. Being I'm not in a quiet environment I'm not sure this answer is going to be much help. Have a nice day.

Not sure. It's pretty loud. I only use it when the dog is barking or jumping so I'm right beside them. I imagine a dog could hear it in an adjoining room..

It is not esp. loud. While we have not used it on our dog we saw no reason it wouldn't do the job.

It's pretty loud. I can hear it in other rooms as long as there is no real loud back round noise. It beeps for a pretty good while, but not in defitnilty. I was looking for a timer that was close to the one from Pampered Chef. This was as close as I could get. This one though is louder. Hope this helps!

Really loud! Not sure of the ratings, but it hurts my ears when used in a small room or within a close distance. Just remember to have it accessible if you are going to use it. It only takes a second for someone to come up on you. Don't put it in a bag or pocket and expect to grab it in the event you need to use it. The same with pepper spray.
