How noisy is your sewing?

My machine is quiet - but my cursing when the flipping thing doesn't work will wake the dead. lol
I like to listen to TV and be free to rattle around my space at will. So when honey had to sleep during off hours, I would generally not be in the sewing room.

My DH sleeps thru anything!! I sew with and play music til all hours and he doesn't hear a thing. The only thing that wakes the dog is opening the refrigerator door--I think he's upstairs asleep and look down there he is!!

Now when I am in my studio I usually have the surround sound rocking. My neighbors are okay with me working with the tunes cranked because I have been working in my garage with the doors up all night long and never had the first complaint but I am on an acre of land and I am tucked away behind the house.

No one's complained about it though. I don't know that it would do them any good to complain. I'd probably just say, "I put up with everything you do so deal with it."

The old Kenmore is LOUD!!! The new brother is quiet. I bought a role of the mesh you line your kitchen drawers with. I cut a piece to fit under my machine. It helps with that machine gun sound and the machine doesn't move either.

For, it's not my machines..... it's the radio, or better yet ( or, worse, depending on who you ask...) is my singing! I never close the door, my dog is hyper attached, and whines if she can't see me, she doesn't come into the sewing room, she doesn't like the wood floor, so stands at the door and watches...
