Does anyone have a dBA rating from the technical documentation? I'd like to be able to compare the noise rating to other products.

While I dont have the exact specs, I can tell you that its nearly silent when it switches on. I have it sitting on top of my unit sucking air straight out of the receiver vents and its very quiet. I really don't think noise is an issue with this thing. Doesn't even produce vibration noise.

The db level is available, it was listed in the additional INo as well as on the manufactures site

Don't know--haven't had any problems or noises with mine. Call for tech support.

I've seen 10% THD in print in multiple locations including Marantz publications so I'm inclined to believe that it is true. That said, in general I find vendor specifications to be quite misleading and a poor indicator of quality. I've had the system for about a year and am quite happy with the sound quality.

thank you. I am getting an evaporative cooler (none of the stores stock them) from Lowe's, which was very helpful. As for noise... it can't be worse than an a/c.

I have not measured the volume in dB, However it is much quieter than the case fans and CPU fans. I currently have it in my workshop in an open air environment, so I never hear the thing. The fan is 140mm I believe, and is controlled by temperature. The intelligent fan control keeps fan noise to a minimum below 45C. Which it never reached, even while mining in the summer. Regardless, it will be a very quiet unit for most applications. Look for the review at Johnny Guru for more info. -buzznut

I haven't heard the 615d...but I do know that the hotel front lobby told me that it was too loud several time. I ask them when are you gonna start insulating your walls. Lls. I've also been asked to turn it down at non profit events and at weddings with over 100+ guess.

In short, I cannot say it more succinctly...Amazon should take this vendor OUT OF THEIR REPERTOIRE! done, nada , nothing to say - I threw mine out - no volume variation and I viewed other 'not happy campers'. Your choice - make them return your money - or just throw it out - post your comments and only 'hope' Amazon does not allow this vendor. Hope this helps.

D. Kaminsky, pls give us some details on the death of your SoundSticks II. As a current owner I'm very interested in knowing how helpful & co-operative H_K is in resolving your issue. I hope they deal with you fairly & quickly. Personally, I thought their website was a nightmare to negotiate.

I had a similar situation. No matter what I tried, I never received any quality sound, just the squeals and shrieks also agree with other comment- waste of money and a disappointed prnoduct- and usually, memorex is considered a plus but not in this case- Sorry

If they have a lower sn db rating they will sound better. Although I would buy a higher quality one this one sounded like crap and went bad after two weeks. NAD makes a good one and I am happy with it for a year now.

Thank all for your responses. The unit is useless for me as I need to know the AVERAGE sound level over a period of time.

Can you hear the difference between 58 and 59 decibels? There's more to loud than db...there's also "tone". This generator is very quiet, allowing for conversation while standing next to it, even when it's running at full output. The tone is low, and there isn't any mechanical clatter like with so many others. I am quite happy with mine.

Unfortunately I don't have much information to help because I'm considering the purchase of the same system. Has your impression changed much from the original post? I enjoy classical music but don't know much about different audio outputs and quality differentiators. Is there a better system at a similar price that you know of? Thanks for any additional thoughts.

Thanks Wagner. I will set it that way and see if anything changes over the next day or two and post back here.So much for a day or two, I just tried it and it is very loud now. Mine wasnt refurbished, I bought it new in the package. Werid bug for sure.

I don't really know. What I can say is that the DBX eq is excellent. Setting the eq to +6db across the spectrum and then equalizing the volumes produced no audible difference in the sound between the the eq in and out of the circuit. The noise level is also inaudible. I highly recommend it and would buy it all over again knowing what i know now. Good luick on your purchase. HEHJr
