We haven't discussed this aspect of choosing a sewing machine and it may be important to some of you. There are many SMs available now that have the noise level of a 'desperately needs oil' chainsaw. It may make no difference to you but I can not bear to be in the room with one of them - usually. Sometimes, always in July, I like to put Handel's Messiah on the cd player and blast at full volume until it vibrates the timbers. Sometimes, I enjoy our home so quiet that the only sound is the clock ticking. That varies. About 10 years ago, I brought home a SM that clattered more than a cranky two year-old badly needing a nap. Trust me. It was back at the dealers first thing the next morning. Just FWIW. Polly
