So what do you sew with? I think the loudest machine I own is a 2 year old Juki. The quietest and smoothest machine I own is a 1958 Brother Select O Matic. If you didn't see the needle moving you wouldn't know it was running.

My favorite machine is usually whatever one I'm using at the moment, like a few others have said. Mostly it's one of my 14 vintage Brothers, but lately I've been using my Singer 301s. One is a little quieter than the other but the louder one is smoother sewing. Guess they both need another good cleaning.
