My tumblers are in utility room. The door stays open. I can barely hear the tumblers running.

Not loud at all! I rode submarines all my "growing up" years... The "Noiseless" ones... To duplicate the "normal" noise on a sub, bring your lawnmower inside, park it in your living room, pull the start cord, and let it run! Oh, and if you'd like to experience "driving" a sub, buy a moon roof car, tape off all the windows, make one of those kids mirror periscopes, push that through the moon roof, have your wife give you "directions..." Tumbler? Not loud at all! Hearing aids? Bah! Married 41 years - you Know I'm gonna pay attention when it's something I wanna hear! That includes wife yelling, "I said STOP," while peering through that periscope! And grandkids asking, "Grandpa, can we....?" Just make sure you get a rubber barrel tumbler! They're soothing! Like listening to whales mating in the ocean! Thank you for your service. My husband and son were in the sub fleet, too. I am familiar with what you speak. I visited the Maine and did an all access tour right before they quit allowing such access. Y'all have balls of steel.

Also worth mentioning that my wife would even be OK with the tumblers living inside the home. One day not long after installing my first one, she came over to me with her phone when I was sitting on the couch. She had some audio to play on her phone for me. She played two different audio clips and asked me to tell her what I was listening to. I told her "the new rock tumbler", both of them. She said no. The correct answer was a) the rock tumbler, and b) the clothes washing machine. Maybe not everyone's clothes washer, but she was right. The tumbler sounded a lot like the washer.

Rockjunquie, when I first started to use my UV-18 vibe I didn't know whether the sound would be noise or a harmonious sound like white sound. After 4 years of heavy use the machine makes a sound that is not only white sound but almost talks to me about what is going on inside. The sound is therefore extremely important.

Can't get the quote from rockjunquie to quote, so I'll paraphrase... She said us submariners have "balls if steel..."
Never heard that said of any of us so I decided to send one up to the lab and get it tested...
They're Titanium Oxide... (Heavy, but tossable)
The other one is rubber and I can squeeze it when necessary...
I just love Stress Balls! So much better than hitting someone or something!
But, alas, that's just my unasked for opinion...
