    My Pfaff runs a bit quieter than my Viking. My Kenmore is noisy as all get out!

    Of all the ones I own, modern and vintage, my Singer 201 is by far the quietest. Great fun to sew on that baby!

    I find it makes a difference what table you sew on.. which one of mine will be quieter.. The vintage singer is louder than my Viking no matter where it is.

    I have a Viking and a Bernina. The Viking is so much quieter. It hums. And it's much older.

    My Janome 10001 is very quiet, as is my Singer 15-91. My Morse and my old Kenmore could wake the dead, if I really get them going! Trick is to sew slow! One of my treadles is noisier than the other, but I love that sound. It reminds me of a song we used to sing eons ago--clickety clack along the railroad track! LOL

    Yep. Me too. I can easily hear the tv or audiobooks while sewing full speed.
