Quiet Sex Toys: Sexy & (Nearly) Silent
There are a number of reasons you might prefer a quiet vibrator. Maybe you want to keep private time private at home, you’re looking for a discreet sex toy to use in public, or perhaps a noisy vibrator distracts you from your pleasure. Whatever your reason for seeking a quiet toy, Love & Lust is here with the quietest toys for your pleasure.
Understanding Noise Levels
Decibels are units used to measure sound. For context, here are the approximate decibel levels of some common noises:
Breathing: 10 decibels
Whispering: 20 decibels
A Typical Library: 40 decibels
Electric Toothbrush: 60 decibels
Alarm Clock: 80 decibels
Fireworks: 140 decibels
What Types of Toys Are The Quietest?
As a general rule of thumb, bulkier toys with larger, more powerful motors tend to produce more sound. Noisier toys might include wand style, rabbit style, and vibrating dildo style toys. While these toys have many positive, orgasm-inducing attributes, quietness is probably not among them.Â
Because your vibrator uses a motor to create toe-curling vibrations, it’s going to generate some level of noise. If sound is a concern, check out smaller (but still very effective!) toys that tend to be quieter. Most models will have a noise rating or decibel level metric available. Based on noise level reports and information from product testers, here is what we recommend:
Bullet Vibrators
These are bullet-shaped vibrators designed for external use and small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. They tend to be quiet even at higher settings.
Egg Vibrators
Similar to bullet styles, egg vibrators are smoothly egg-shaped, typically designed for external use (unless it has a retrieval cord), and known for being both quiet and effective.
Clitoral Vibrators
These toys may be small but they deliver big sensations. Meant for external use and typically pretty quiet.
Rose Vibrators
Rose toys, which provide a mix of vibrations and suction, are marketed as being quiet and discreet, usually somewhere between 25 and 35 decibels.
Wearable Vibrators
Panty vibrators are made to be discreet, so they are typically very quiet. You can find models that generate less than 48 decibels.
Anal Vibrators
If you’re looking for a hushed anal experience, some anal vibrators are marketed specifically as quiet and discreet for public play.
Tips for Quieter Sex Toys
Do a noise check: turn on your vibrator and test the sound level. You can even turn it on, leave the room and close the door, and then listen from outside to gauge if housemates will be able to hear it.
Check the product specifications: some products are marketed as being whisper-quiet, and some even include decibel level on their website or product packaging.
Turn on the television or music: you can always drown out the sound of your toy with a television show or a sexy playlist.
