How loud is it? Does it sound like a weed wacker?

It is not loud when in use--certainly not as loud as the plug-in Water Pic. There is some sound, but not enough to be unpleasant.

That's an interesting question. No, it is not as loud as like a weed wacker, not even close. It does make noise because it's mechanical and water is being pumped at a high speed. I would compare the noise to my Phillips Sonicare toothbrush. I've used one of these for the past ten years and I get high marks from my dentist, even if he didn't recommend that I use one.

Not very loud, just a gentle, "putt, putt, putt..." As the water squirts out.

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 quite a bit louder, not extremely loud though. I recommend it though. Sounds pretty good. I've gotten many compliments, and you can't beat that price.

It's not that loud. Probably more comparable to an acoustic guitar and much quieter than a trumpet or saxophone.

I would say barely. It won't sound like a booming sound system, more like a nice radio. It's less powerful when you pull out the plug. Ok for a picnic, less good for a party.

Not at all too loud. It's very quiet. But remember the duct tape for covering those HOT metal arms.

Similar to a normal push mower. The sound is noticeable, but when you are without power, it is a wonderful noise!! Hope this helps you. Diana

Roughly the same as a standard lawn mower, maybe slightly louder, but not by much. It is enclosed inside the case, unlike a lawn mower. Some say is "sooo loud", guess that depends on your def of loud. Love my littl Gen !!!

No. Its not very loud at all. The problem is the gauge is not accurate, and it seems they've known about the issue but haven't fixed it yet. It will also blow fuses if you're not careful.

Not very loud at all. There are tiny beads in the little flaps inside the wheel but that's the only part that makes a noise. It would be fine at a restaurant in my opinion.

Not very loud, I shoot it in my backyard in a subdivision with no problems.

Its very quite. You can hear it but it is not offensive loud. Not sure you could still grind and be quiter.

The closer you approach it, the louder it gets. It is as noisy as gasoline-powered lawn mower. The few times I used mine, I could hear the generator in my home. The sound was not loud. And if you close your windows, the sound is even less. This generator is probably no louder than other generators of similar size. If you are expecting a "quiet" generator, this is not the one.

I think so its pretty loud. It's a clear full sound that carries over other noise. I use it in wood shop and it does great. I'm very happy with it. I'd buy again

Not loud just a buzz. I used it at night in my room w/ my husband sleeping. Of course he would sleep through anything! But I don't think it's loud.

It is certainly NOT quiet. Great and heavy duty, but not ultra quiet. Sorry! :)
