5 Things to Know About the Q5's Quiet Mode Noise Level

The Q5’s quiet mode operates at around 50 decibels. That’s comparable to a refrigerator humming in the next room.

It is quiet enough to run during a baby’s nap without waking them. This is the only test that matters for this category.

50 decibels is not loud enough to disturb normal household activities. You can run it while watching TV or having a conversation.

The noise level is consistent and steady, not jarring or intermittent. It won’t startle pets or children.

Quiet mode sacrifices some suction power for lower noise. Use it when noise is a priority over deep cleaning.
