I finally heard my first motorized vibrating shuttle machine this weekend. Holy cow! You're not kidding that it's noisier! It put it in perspective, because til then, the VS machines were treadled, and the round bobbins were all motorized. Having them all motorized sure let me know how different sounding they are, and the volume difference is pretty notable too!
I also think that when I'm treadling (using all 4 limbs at once) I'm less likely to notice the noise.
Could be all of my joints creaking too though.
