Quieter than any tool that it is attached to. I will actually leave
it running a few minutes at a time between cuts on the TS. I will say
that when connected to and running with the planer, the planer becomes
noticeably louder. I am not too sure about every dust collector but
most are many times less loud than the typical shop vac.



I'd love to see a little more consistency in tool loudness ratings. Some
would tell you how loud they were (at 3'), but most others would not.
When your only method to choose is the box and return policy, more
information is a great thing.

Before I turn on the shop vac, the first thing I do is put on hearing
protection. I hate hearing that thing run! (A quiet one's in my future,
but considering I just bought a cyclone it'll be a little while.)
