Does anyone here know anything about the average loudness of a Kirby vacuum motor in decibels (dBA)? Experts say hearing protection is recommended if the motor has a noise level of at least 85 dBA. I am autistic and I have hypersensitive hearing. The reason I am asking this is because I have just begun to expose myself to the loud motor of my grandma's Kirby Classic III (serial #B850414). By generations, what do you think is the average noise level in dBA of a Kirby motor? Think these following Kirbys (the newer they got the louder the motors became): *Model 505 *Model 510 *Model 513 *Model 515 *Model 519 *Dual Sanitronic 50 *Classic 1-CR *Classic Omega 1-CB *Tradition 3-CB ~Ben | ||

KIRBY The kirby generation series are fairly quiet. (So is the heritage2/legend 2 vacuums)Besides that, the sound is a soft, strong sound and is PLEASANT to listen to. | ||
