Vibrators: Noise and Vibration Levels
If you live alone, on a farm, in the middle of a desert or on an island, then
the noise level of your vibrator isn't a concern. However people with roommates,
children or thin walls may consider the amount of noise their vibrating pal
emits to be a real issue. While no vibrator is going to be perfectly silent, we
ranked ours to help you figure out exactly what's best for you. For more

Bulletins from the Bedroom feature.
Quiet
If you take your vibrator
into your bedroom and close the door, "quiet"
means that people outside shouldn't hear it. A few products in this category,
particularly the
remote-controlled ones,
will be so quiet that you can run
them in a public place without anybody hearing, as long as there's some level of
background noise, such as people talking or the dialogue in an action-adventure
movie. Don't expect miracles though! Vibrators are powered by electric motors
and do make some noise, regardless of how "whisper quiet" they claim to be.
Average
Your next-door neighbor won't hear an
"average" vibrator , but
somebody outside your closed bedroom door might hear a sound not unlike an electric
razor. This isn't the kind of toy you'd be able to hide from your lover or
housemates while you're using it, but it also won't be like a siren to announce
you're having an evening of pleasure.
Loud, but Worth It!
The more
powerful vibrators
come with a downside -- don't expect people not
to hear you using them! If you want the most power, often times you'll be
sacrificing discretion. But aren't those orgasms worth it?
Finding the Right Level of Vibration
It's true that the intensity of modern day vibrators can range from very gentle
and designed purely for relaxation to a vibration that's absolutely overpowering
and, quite frankly, uncomfortable. The level of vibration that will please any
individual is completely variable, but we can offer some tips. Always start with
your vibrator on its lowest intensity setting and then experiment with the
higher settings to see what feels most comfortable for you. If your vibrator is
simply too powerful, don't despair! Many women enjoy diffusing the vibrations
from their vibrator by placing a towel or piece of cloth over any external
vibrating units. This trick has been raved about for years.
