Thanks for all the advice, everyone. I didn't think about putting it on carpet scraps. I do have some of those I could give my friend.

I have several machines but my quiet one is my Singer 501. She purrs.

I agree that the table you sew on can make a difference. When I take mine away from home both are noisy. I think the Viking with the walking foot gets noisy where my Pfaff walking foot which is built in is quieter.

I love the sound of busy machine.
I have a machine that knocks
one that shimmies and shakes
and one that walks across the table

I love them all!

No I don't think there is such a thing as a quiet machine but puttiang rubber kithcen cabinet lines do help with the other rumbling noises.

I don't think she personally minds at all, but the people in the apartment upstairs did.

My Expression 4.0 i also very noisy. I had a 2056 that I traded in on the 4.0 and it was a very, very quiet running machine.
