What is the noise level rating ?
1763587
I don't know the actual db. rating but I would say "not bad, wear hearing protection indoors" I have found the sound less and lower pitched on softwoods, higher pitched with hardwoods. About the same level sound as a router while cutting.

not sure what the db level is but it is very quite I would have to say it is about the same as a circiler saw in noise and if you do not have a shop vac it is a little messy you have to clean it very well as you are planning the boards so it does not get cloged

I don't know the decibel rating...but I personally have no issue with the noise it creates. It's no more or less than any other cutting tool I use.

I lowered the volume and clicked to the loudest setting and I got 30 levels. It might be less hard to tell. On the highest level it is very loud.

It is not that noisy. I've never had a complaint. Audio feedback: yes, too loud: no.

SLS: I don't recall any sound rating for the unit; however, it's quieter than all of my shop vacs. It does produce ambient noise while in use, but if you're using it with machines, the machines are generally going to be louder than the unit. The unit is pulling a lot of air, which in my experience is the source of most of the noise (air flow, not motor noise). I've had mine for almost 7 years now, and I am happy with it.

I do not have any information on DB rating of the heater or any way to measure it. However, I can say that the level of sound from the heater is dependent upon the mode it is operating in. When operating at full output, the fan is operating at high speed and thus generates a level of sound consistent with any fan operated room heater which I would classify as moderately noisy. When operating at "idle" speed it is very quiet all of which is dependent upon the thermostat setting relative to room temperature. If you desire a very quiet heater, then I would suggest a radiant type heater that does not have a fan.

There ia a hi / low setting. Not a big fan of noise myself, bur this doesn't bother me.

I use mine in a shop, I would say the noise level would be similar to that of a box fan. The unit does a great job.

Maybe there is some variance? I don't know. Others say it's soft, some say it's loud. I think it's just slightly above average at about 6. If you dislike the sound I can imagine it would be annoying.

Hi James, I found the noise level to be negligible. You'd hear more noise from a bad road surface. I have to admit that I wasn't listening for it and didn't hear any.

It's between 77 and 80 according to the app "Decible Ultra." The sound is a low hum not the normal high pitch whine of most dryers. My old hair dryer was 90 decibles. For comparison it shows that the sound of a running toilet is 62 Decibles and a completely silent room is 40 Decibles.

I have no idea, I bought mine for my daughter and she absolutely loves it. No noise or problems with it at all

The noise level is moderate. I use it only occasionally for rabbit, possum etc and its fine.

I don't know the exact noise level, scientifically speaking, but I find it loud enough to be quite disruptive.The level of noise it makes is the main reason I am currently replacing it. I'm tired of yelling over this thing. Also, since it doesn't have an energy save mode, the fan stays on even when it's not cooling, so the loudness is constant.

it isn't super noise, but level is high enough. you can't use it and listen TV with middle level sound. hope it will help.

The earmuffs have a NRR (noise reduction rating) of 22 dB. If you wear a set of ear plugs under the muffs, you should get in the range of 32.

Hello, according to a review I read in "Fine Woodworking" magazine, the rated noise level is 83 db. I have owned this dust collector for almost 3 years. The noise level is much less than my large craftsman shop vacuum. I do run the Delta in another section of the garage/shop though so much of the noise is behind a wall. If you do opt to purchase this or a similar system, I recommend placing it behind a wall and not directly in your shop space if that is possible. You can get a remote on/off switch if it is out of sight and reach. Another tip is to get an Oneida "Super Dust Deputy" cyclonic dust separator to run with the machine. This keeps almost all dust and chips out of the dust collector, keeping the filter bag cleaner so the machine runs more efficiently for a longer period of time between cleaning or replacing bags. Good luck! This machine gets with the program and gets the job done in a small shop like mine.

I can hear the clicks on mine if the ambient noise level is low. The clicks are quite subdued. I have 18 of these in service.
