The only quiet machine I know of is one that is not being used.

I have a Pfaff 7550 that is not too quiet. For Christmas, I bought my daughter a Janome Sew Precise on eBay. When it came I tested it to be sure it was ok before I gave it to her. That little machine was alot more quiet than mine. Maybe
because it was new, I am not sure but it was quiet. I was tempted to keep it but it doesn't have needle down/up. That was the only drawback.
Why not check out machines at dealers and try them out. You could at least have the joy of shopping.

I've always said my Berninas just whisper. My hubby watches tv right in the area where I sew, and I've never had a complaint.

We used to have one in one of the offices I worked in. They are used to dampen other noise - like lots of people talking in an open office. You don't hear/notice them UNTIL they are turned off. I used to work IT Support and had to cover the late shift. The White Noise generator was turned off about 6:00PM and we worked until 7:00PM to cover the west coast. Of course by that time there were only two of us in the whole of the office so when the white noise was turned off it suddenly got "quiet". But we never noticed it UNTIL it was turned off.

Just have your husband put cotton in each ear or ear plugs of some kind, then he will not hear the machine and you will save by not buying another sewing machine.

I have an old Elna air-electronic SU that I bought new in 1976. It is the quietest machine of the 7 machines I own.

My 201 & my FW. When I took my FW to a quilting retreat with 100 quilters, several remarked it was the quietest machine there. The other day I way using my Janome and husband came in to see why the sewing machine was so loud!

I said the same thing above and I own 15 machines? My Elna wins the quiet award.

Hands down the quietest sewing machine I have ever owned is my new Juki 600. I am so in love with my Juki machine and one of the reasons is because it is so quiet. I have had lots of sewing machines in my 35+ years of sewing and this machine outshines them all.
