4 Things to Know About the Roborock Q5 Pro's 50-Decibel Noise Level

50 decibels is the sound of a quiet conversation or a refrigerator humming. That is the noise level of the [Roborock Q](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Roborock+Q&tag=wehavethat-20)5 Pro on its quiet mode.

In practice, it did not wake a sleeping child during naps. That is the highest praise a quiet-mode robot vacuum can earn.

Most quiet-mode vacuums sacrifice cleaning power, but the Q5 Pro does not. It stays quiet without resorting to a useless “whisper mode” that barely picks up dust.

The trade-off is lower suction, but that is fine for daily maintenance cleaning while the house is asleep.
