I have always found my New Home/Janome machines to be the quiet machines. When I took them to classes there was a marked difference with the other machines. I have a Bernina and several old Singers that have the metal gears/cogs and find that they make more noise when they need oiling.

I have a Singer Futura 150 which is an embroidery/sewing machine and a Juki F400. I like the Singer but I absolutely love my Juki. It truly feels like it's sewing threw butter and it is so quiet even at high speed. I got them both at different times from HSN and the 4 or 5 easy payments made it possible for me to get a better machine than I would normally be able to afford any other way. I also got a Singer 5 thread serger because I make a lot of purses and bags. I will be starting my first quilt for a new baby great nephew using my Juki. It is a quilt/sewing machine. Best thing is to go to a sewing or quilting center and try out the ones you may like. Hope all this helps. Good Luck.

I have a Brother HS-2000 and it is very quiet until it starts needing a cleanout. I had another Brother that was much louder. I use the HS-2000 primarily because I could use it at 2 in the morning when my light sleeping DH was sleeping just 15 ft away in our motorhome. Of course I don't believe in sewing at full throttle because it's too hard on the parts in the sewing machine & I want to have this one for a very long time. I usually go about mid-speed and that's fast enough for me.

My SIL was visiting for a week. She used my 301A and I used my New Home 372L. I could hardly hear the 301A when she was using it and she said my New Home was loud, but I find it very quiet. At any rate both are quieter than the new machines used by my fellow guild members, they always sound like they are ready for "blast off".

I do have two machines, and yes, one is quieter than the other. One is faster than the other too - depends on what I'm doing, the choice of the machine for that project. I do have my favorite, but it's the noisier of the two...lol

My Elnasuper (2 tone blue) is my very quilt. Have to love the old Elnas.

I "legally" have 4 machines, the Kenmore Computerized model (Janome wannabe?) is the best for a steady hum. Table base makes a difference! My Husky-Viking Sapphire 835 surprised me with the amount of noise it makes, but I can still listen to my "sewing" music over it. The "craft" machine (belongs to my daughter) makes a large amount of noise, but there is no speed control and it's being reserved for scrapbooking tasks! The 1940's Singer (not a lightweight) made a moderate amount of noise, but the motor is out, so it's very quiet right now! I used to have a Brother and a White model, both fairly large amount of mechanical part noise, especially when I used the cam-embroidery feature! Still wish I'd nabbed my Great-Grandmother's Singer, it was originally a treadle, then GGF retro-fit a motor on it and she sewed everything on that baby! No memory of amount of sound, I just remember all the LOVE involved!

LOL, I love it!!

Some of the noise depends on what the machine is sitting on. A machine on a card table will sound different than one in a cabinet or on a table. (sounding boards)
