I don't know about MD central vacs but my grandmothers Fasco mastervac II from 1993 was really loud and when it died last summer she got a new Vacuflo FC650 and it is quieter then the old one but it is a little loud. Hope this helps -Jeremy |

My MD central vacuum is significantly quieter than the Dirt Devil Pro Series it replaced. I actually don't think it would be any louder than a canister vacuum if you were to keep it in a ventilated closet/cabinet. |

My vacuflo 566q is incredibly quiet right at the unit. |

In a hall closet in my home in LA. No basement and a detached garage. I originally had a regular MD unit but my partner worked from home and the unit was next to his office. Way too loud for him when the housekeeper was there twice a week. Replaced it with a Silentmaster and problem solved. Those Silentmaster units are perfect for closet installations. Very quiet.

It depends on which kind you would get because some are noisier than others and some are quieter than others. We sell Simplicity and MD central vacuums because not only they are ridiculously powerful but they are also extremely quiet. If you're going to get an MD, go for the Silentmaster lineup because they're quieter than the other MD models such as the Flo-Master, Air Force, Modern Day, and Air Master.

air moving through the pipes with daily use dries them out. |

If you do bury the pipes, be sure to go deep enough that it's below the frost line and put the pipe and wire inside of a larger pipe. This is supposed to prevent the central vac tubing from being crushed, cracked, or causing condensation.
I have a Honeywell central vac/made by Electrolux Home Care Products/same company that owns Beam. It's not unbearably loud being in the same room as it, but it is vented outside. Being near the exhaust while it's running is almost unbearable. Our exhaust vent is on the back of our house and you can ver clearly hear it from the front of the house. You can't hear it much inside though. |

Air drying the pipes out-if there is WATER in the pipes from condensation or leaking the water CAN get into the units motor--NOT good!Better to have the central machine in the building where it will be used. |

It's about 900 square feet I think. I have one in each bedroom, two in the living room, two in the dining room, and one in the kitchen. Mike |
