I have a Bosch Benchmark series single wall oven and the fan noise doesn't bother me. It doesn't run that long time after it's turned off.

I had the Bosch 800 oven in my old condo, open layout and am getting the Bosch 500 in my new build. It's noticeable but not offensive and it only runs about 5 minutes if that after the oven is shut off.

I am interested in any comments on the current Miele ovens and noise. Right now I have a Viking induction range with a loud oven and a Miele speed oven that is silent in comparison. I'm planning a new kitchen and am hoping the Miele 30 inch ovens are quiet. Interested in any comments from anyone with one.

The Viking cooks well and I love the induction but the cooling fan on the oven is loud and goes for 30 plus minutes after the oven is turned off.

Me too, interested in whether the 30 inch Miele is quiet.

We have the current generation Miele double 30 inch ovens and the cooling fan does of course run after use. I haven't found it to be too loud, most of the time I don't notice it.

But the noise is subjective (for reference, I am not bothered by our full-size 36" Liebherr but do notice our undercounter U-line fridge)

Glad to hear! The speed oven is much quieter than my Viking so I was hoping the same was true for the 30 inch!

Noise seems to be very subjective. I've seen ovens where the customer complains about the noise level then go on to another service call the same day with the same model and have a customer completely satisfied with the noise level that I can tell is exactly the same as the one I just heard.

The thing is that all ovens and ranges pretty much have blower fans in them to keep the electronics from overheating. Some manufacturers are a little quieter than others but I've had noise complaints on even the quietest ovens.

Sometimes a person might be sensitive to a specific sound frequency that everyone else in the household can't hear, but to the sensitive person it is highly irritating.

GE monogram in my old house- awesome. No noise.

It depends how bothered you are by fan noise. Apparently there are some new BS "efficiency" laws that mandate this fan nonsense.

I am not a huge fan of the fan. However the new range is a huge improvement the GE Profile range that was replaced.

Nothing to do with government energy regulations, everything to do with new appliances having electronics that need to be kept cool.

I agree with Jakvis, different people have different sensitivities to noise. My GE Monogram French Door oven in my ipinion is very quiet. My husband who is very hard of hearing hears it when it is in the preheat mode. It is a low rumbling sound that is very loud to him and sounds like a barge coming by our house. When it cools I hear it I know it has to cool things and I hear in a vague sort of way it's clearly not excessive. Now ask me about my VentAHood which only has one speed ---LOUD- and LOUD Not sure when I bought that system if they had two speed.but it is screaming loud and I can't hear anyone talking to me.

I do use the self clean function on the oven and expect it to run a fan to cool things.; It really isn't excessive and well worth for the cleaning experience that I don't have to get involved with ::)) So noise is acceptible to me in many c ases unlike cilantra which tastes like soap and makes me ill where other people find it frangrant and tasty. Life is interesting to be sure.

Ifoco - just a brief OT comment about your hood noise comment. Sometimes excessive noise of a hood is not the hood itself, but the ductwork to it. If the duct diameter is too small, or if the duct has a lot of turns, there will be excessive noise from that. I don't know your set-up, but wanted to mention that.

I ended up installing Bosch 500 series double wall ovens and love them. They look fantastic and although I have only used a few times they seem to be fairly quiet. Definitely hear them when both ovens are in use. However, when only one oven is in use I think it is pretty quiet. Really glad I purchased them.
