Quite is a relative term, I’ve never had a vacuum that I would call quiet. The ones with decent power tend to be noisier, and I’d rather not waste my time cleaning with something that’s not doing the job properly. I like to listen to music or audiobooks while I do housework, (because housework is a drag), and I tend to use headphones instead of speaker because I’m moving around and also of course vacuum noise to overcome. Set of headphones might be cheaper than a new vacuum?
