Quietest and Loudest Vac
Fun Thread!! My quietest vacuum is a Eureka Roto-Matic tub from the early fifties in red. Made even quieter by the yellow fluffy toilet seat cover that is hooked onto the bottom of the machine by the tool hooks so as not to scratch her new wood floors as she pulled it thru the house! Guess it doubles as a motor muffler as well as damper when dragging it around. Loudest is my Singer Twin-fan upright. WOW its loud. Rebuilding it didnt make a dent in it. Still screams. It is going to take a hike soon….any takers?

Quietest are my new Tristar MG1 and my Filter Queen Limited Edition (112B).
Loudest are my Royal 8.9 and 9 amp metal screamers!
My Kirby Legend II not the quietest or loudest, but it has a relaxing sound that makes it pleasent to use each week.

I would say my loudest is a
Hoover Concept.
My quietest is a Hoover Constellation.
Actually, the sharpest, highest pitch vacuum is the Hoover Platinum "portapower' wannabe. It is strong, but is squeals.

My quietest is my Hoover Dimension 1000 canister. Loudest in my collection which I don't really consider too loud as it's tone is so pleasant: Hoover Celebrity II Elite.
Now I do currently have in the house waiting to sell a Dirt Devil Vision Turbo- very loud and louder Eureka Powerline! The Eureka is very very loud I would say with heavy vibration in the handle as well. I found at a thrift shop and cleaned it up for selling. It runs good, with no bearing issues that I can tell and brush roll is like new. It's just very loud.
Surprising the compact Kenmore Magic Blue canister is very very loud as well!! I only purchased it to resell and I was glad when it was sold. Very powerful unit but quite loud, I've never heard a canister vacuum so loud and it only had a turbine head, not an electric power head.

From my very limited collection
My loudest would have to be the Kirby 515. It has such a strong motor and does a remarkable job at removing very fine dust from carpets.
My quietest, so far, would be a toss up between the Kirby Heritage and Heritage II. They are both in a state of limbo. I have yet to work on the Heritage at all since acquiring it, and the Heritage II needs a new exhaust assembly (emptor, fill tube, disposable bag hookup) and headlight lens assembly.

Loudest would be my Tornado Task Force WD vacuum,NuTone CV450,then quiet-Sebo D4 Prfemium,And my Meile canisters.
my loudest and quietest models
My loudest models would be my shop vacs, and my beam 275c central vacuum unit. The quietest ones are probably the Riccar Prima and the Electrolux Ultra One classic.

I have owned quite many quiet canister vacuum cleaners. There is some of them and comments.
Electrolux Ultraone Z8810:
Extremely quiet, soft tone and very powerfull (425 Airwatts). I sold it when I needed the money. Still greatly regret selling it. Best vacuum I have had.
Bagless Electrolux UltraPerformer:
A bit loud, but not bad. Powerfull (330 Airwatts) Some high pitched tone. I sold it.
Philips PerformerPro FC9193/01:
Quite quiet and soft tone, but because it's huge suction (over 500 Airwatts) medium power level is more than enough then it comes very quiet. Nowadays my parens have it.
Samsung Silky Ego Green:
Good suction (300 Airwatts) and very quiet too. Although motor had some weird "cheap motor" tone. Sold it.
Old AEG Vampyr 402:
Very soft ear pleasing tone and quite quiet. Good suction and large bag.
Old Volta U258:
Soft tone and quite quiet. Slightly louder than AEG. Good suction and large bag also. Excellent build quality.
Old Vorwerk Upright VK 117:
My loudest vacuum. Dirty fan design produces nice airflow, but suction is a bit poor.
My cousins Dyson DC23:
Very loud and high pitched scream. Suction ok.

The quietest vacuum I currently own is my Kirby Classic III. The loudest I have is some plastic junk Eureka that was bought years ago and refuses to die. It's bright yellow, tiny, and bag-less It's crap and the handle is busted, but my mom won't let me replace it. I don't think I've had a vacuum quieter than my Kirby for the past 10 years. Each plastic vacuum that I've been exposed to in my lifetime have all had the instantaneous ear piercing scream rather than the slow wind up to a stable noise like my old Kirby.

My loudest would have to be my Royal PowerTank, and for the quietest I would say either my Lux XXX or Lux AE.
