Its not "loud" but its kind of anoying.

I have a maka 9227 that makes that noise, it work and spins properly it just 'feels' broken because of the noise. That is why I always use my older 9207....probably also because that is what I learned on.

My hitachi was loud like that when I first used it... after about 10 uses it seemed quieter. I also removed all the OE grease and put in a synthetic grease that was a bit thicker. At first I thought it was just my subconscious, but compared to my old Milwaukee.. it is wayyy quieter.

Mine's pretty quiet, at least compared to the PC. I haven't noticed any whine, but it may be there. If it is, it's mild and I just assumed it was the sound it made. No worries.

Mine is a lot quieter than the pc. I completely happy with it. Still may get a Metabo in the future!
