Who on here has a split level central vacuum or you?

Can you please post a video of turning the unit on I want to hear what the volume sound level sounds like if noisy or quiet can anyone please do this??

Most are about 60 to 70 DB with a muffler. A dishwasher is anywhere from 40 to 65 DB. A portable vacuum cleaner from 60 to 80 db.

Ok but why can’t I see a video of them running, instead of anyone telling me about the decibels I just want to hear what they sound like that was the whole point to my threads is to see videos of split central vac units running! And all I’m getting is the decibel ratings and that is not what I’m asking for! I’m not a rude person or trying to sound rude or anything all I’m politely asking for is to hear what a split central vac sounds like, no decibel rates just a simple video of the split unit running that is all no harm no foul1

Videos can be misleading, they may give you an idea but they can't exactly tell you completely of how loud or quiet they actually are. The only real way to tell is not only hear one in person but also have a decibel meter next to it. For example this one was definitely quieter on camera.



Regarding split systems, generally they are louder because most of them are dual motor units even my next door neighbor's Silent Partner is very loud. Unless if they have the same motor as the one piece units, they are the same. There was one before that was actually one of the more quieter units I've ever used and that would be the VacuMaid S2600. I wouldn't have minded owning one if VacuMaid was still using the same colors and logo as this one hence that's one of the reasons why VacuMaid is my all time favorite central vacuum brand. But from a consumer point of view, they are not only more expensive but also I've noticed from experience they clog up the screens more than the one piece units unless if you have a bagged canister that goes with the motor.
