But there are also some other considerations you need to make, such as the material and the batteries used, which can also influence the noise levels.

- Vibrators that are made entirely from jelly vinyl will tend to be slightly quieter, as the jelly absorbs some of the sound made by the motor

Vibrators such as the Cone which use C Type batteries tend to me more noicy due to the more powerful nature of the batteries

Deluxe Quieter Vibrators

In recent years vibrator manufacturers have heard customer’s feedback and many products are now made to be super quiet or “whisper quiet” as LELO use in their product descriptions. In fact LELO vibrators even go so far as the state how many decibels they emit when in use! Not that this means much to the average laywoman who is about to embark on buying vibrator.

So we would recommend as our quite vibes the LELO being the quietest, unfortunately the more expensive products seem to have perfected the quiter motors.

Read on and find out more about the things you can do to minimize the noise…

Have Realistic Expectations:
Unfortunately there's a subjective element to rating the sound of a vibrator. What is loud to one person may be quieter to another. Ultimately vibrators are devices with motors, and despite great advances in technology they haven’t quite perfected the art of a motor make no noise at all. While it's reasonable to purchase a vibrator that's marketed as "quiet" or "whisper quiet" and expect that the noise level won't be heard if you have your stereo on low, it's not reasonable to expect that you'll turn the vibrator on and there will be no sound at all.

Ways to lessen the Buzz
The easiest tips to overcome the noise is by taking the following steps :

-Turn on your stereo and allow the music to take you (and the noise) away to a different place

-Try muting the noise by placing a towel or blanket over the part of the toy that encases the engine.

-Keep your vibrator under your covers with you. You'll be warm, snug and happy and the sound will
be muffled!
