How noisy is it? Would it be annoying to coworkers in an open office environment?

Max, Yes it would. This is my second one. Great blender, use it everyday. But it is too noisy for an office unless your workplace has a separate kitchen area.

It isn't any noisier than a blender - but, yes, if you put ice in it - it will be loud.

It makes the normal blender sounds. It would depend on what you are blending. Adding crunch veggies would make it sound louder.Really you are only blending for no more than a minute right? It is portable I suggest when using it in an open work environment take it to the break room to blend if you think people will complain.

The loudness is about a 2, someone about 10ft away probably would only hear a slight humming sound. I just asked my coworker that works about 15ft away and he says that with the AC and other noise going on in the office, he can't hear it at all (FYI, our office is really quiet.) And the sound that it makes is not obnoxious at all. Its definitely just the sound of a little tiny motor humming and wouldn't distract me from work even without my headphones on. Hope this helps. Good luck on your wedding and congratulations on getting married. =)

I'm curious about the noise level in a quiet office environment too. I'm sure it wouldn't interrupt anyone, but would everyone in the vicinity hear the sounds it makes while operating?

It is more of a loud whine. People on all sides of my cubicle could hear it, even the ones that sit diagonal. Fan only worked for 2 hours. Might want t try something different.

It's pretty quiet. The most likely problems you would have in a cubicle would be the length of your legs plus the height of the desk. I can't use mine under my desk because my knees hit the desk - ow. So I have to put it against the wall opposite the desk. The other issue is that if you have a desk chair on casters, you will have to swap it out for on that doesn't move. I easily do both of these accommodations in order to be able to bike at work!

In my opinion it'd be a little loud for an office with people actively working in it. I can't hear the TV in my fairly small living room over it very well.

It makes about the same amout of noise as my microwave makes. Since you wouldn't be using it for an extended period of time, unless your office is very small and very quiet, it probably wouldn't bother anyone.

Yes, it is a little noisy but not unbearable. I have shredded for 45 minutes without being annoyed by the sound. It is micro and it is moderately fast.

Hi, had to go brew a cup of tea to answer this question. I can't say if this would be anoying, I guess it depends on how quiet your office is, if you can hear a pin drop, then most definitely. If it is an active office, maybe not. Of course you can hear the water boiling, much like the level of an home expresso machine dispensing. But what I find annoying is the loud click as it steps through it stages. Easily heard in the next room.

Neither loud nor quiet. It's not as noisy as a Model M or as soft as a laptop keyboard. I think it is appropriate for shared offices (I use it in one).

Not really very noisy. If it's a cubicle they could probably hear, but if in an office with the full wall I doubt it.

Hi, Sorry about my delayed response. I ordered this fridge for a student lounge area, so I'm not sure if the noise it makes in there would be bothersome in an office setting. Dave

Absolutely. I use it at work in my cubicle And it runs silent. It does not disturb anyone.

It's quite quiet, no problem for next door cubicles, the loudest sound is your feet. The beeps are pretty loud, but only occur when you start and when you change the speed. It does not beep when set up and running.

I have a home office, but do need to participate in teleconferences, and I have asked people whether they can hear it; they say 'no'. a cubicle can be a little different that this, however. it makes the same swooshing noise that any treadmill makes as the belt moves, and your stepping noise would still be heard also. probably depends on your office's overall noise level.

On the lower setting the fan is reasonable for an office (mine is used at work). It would be noticed only as white noise in my opinion. On high it is louder.
