Yeah, but when the neighbors who live next to the airport complain because they can't hear the jets flying over... smile

Yeah, to the honest, I think the Blendtec and other blenders of this type are just loud enough to the point that you might start worrying about bothering the neighbors (if you share a wall or ceiling/floor). It's sort of like using a power tool or a vacuum. Fortunately most of the modes you'd use on a regular basis only last around 45 seconds.
