This machine is so cheap and sounds like a fighter jet taking off. I can only describe it with a certain four-letter word...
Modern Eureka scum...

current eureka models
While they have made great vacuums in the past, Eureka is one brand where I would avoid any of their current models, same thing goes for Hoover, Dirt Devil, and Bissell. Certainly Eureka and Hoover made great vacuums in the past, probably some of the best vacuums you could get, but those days are long gone.

Yeah. I traded it for a Bissell because the lady who previously owned it had trouble with the bin catch. I traded her a Power Trak Cyclonic (Looks just like a Momentum)
She liked it and we traded.

Actually for what they cost, those aren't horrid vacuums- I picked one out of the trash that had nothing wrong with it, just a bit dirty, and gave it to my Grandma. She needed a really light vacuum and she loves it. Surprisingly powerful, and I didn't think it was terribly loud. Filtration leaves a lot to be desired though, just a single foam pad.

I'll be honest, I don't mind them too much either. Build quality and filtration are bad for sure, but I found the noise level to be on par with many other similarly priced vacs, and I thought they cleaned pretty well.

small single fan motor screaming and for sure no noise insulation. The filtration though is the worst part.
single fan motors
That's the trend for most vacuums now, one stage, screaming jet sounding motors. I can only think of two canister vacuums that are currently made that have a two stage motor, the metropoliton canisters, and the Perfect metal canister. Apparently you can get the same performance now with some one stage motors, but I really think the two stage motors sound better and are not as annoying, a personal preference of course but a two stage motor does not have to spin as fast to get the same performance. I'm not sure if the motor used in the Sirina is two stage, but it sounds like it is. Most motors used in central vacuums are also two stage as well.

Many single fan motors use a tapered fan design.The leading edges of the fan blades are higher than the trailing edges.An old design inherited from engine turbochargers and turbine radial aircraft engines-small gas turbines-often used in heliocopters.The radial design for this was small and light.The fancase in all of these was tapered to match the fan.Miele and Kirby are good examples.If the single fan design is done right you don't need to run the motor at ear blasting and bearing blasting speeds.

Actually the Miele motor sound is not bad, but some of these motors are quite annoying, Dyson and Shark come to mind.

This piece of crap actually broke today. I pushed it forward and the piece of orange plastic snapped in two! I ended up smashing it for scrap.

These are very cheaply made.
They don't filter well either. However, cut a synthetic HEPA bag to sit under the foam filter, and very little dust should be getting into the motor. I tried this a while back on one I had and it didn't restrict airflow much. For what they are, their cleaning ability and airflow are both quite good.
