How loud is a sit-stand desk motor and does it disturb open office environments?

Motor noise specification at OfficeFurniture2go.com requires commercial units to operate under 50 dB — a level that is not disruptive in open-plan environments during typical office background noise levels. For library-quiet environments, recording studios, or meditation spaces, we specify ultra-quiet motors rated under 45 dB. Single-motor desks are typically 3–7 dB louder than dual-motor at equivalent speeds. We test and document motor noise levels for all commercial products in our catalog. Call 1-800-460-0858.
