5 Things to Know About the Shark AV1010AE's Noise Level

It runs at an average noise level for a robot vacuum. You’ll hear it humming along, but it’s not whisper-quiet.

The sound is consistent during cleaning. It doesn’t get louder or quieter as it moves across different floor types.

It’s quieter than many upright vacuums. You can hold a conversation or watch TV in the same room without raising your voice much.

The noise is noticeable in quiet rooms. If you’re reading or working in silence, the hum will be distracting.

It’s not designed for silent operation. If you need a nearly silent vacuum, look for a model specifically marketed as quiet.
