How much noise does the motor on a sit-stand desk make when it adjusts?

Commercial-grade sit-stand motors typically run at 45–55 dB during adjustment — about the level of a quiet conversation, which is barely noticeable in a working office. Entry-level motors can reach 60–70 dB, which is audibly distracting in an open plan setting. If you're in a quiet environment or open office where noise matters, it's worth confirming the motor dB rating before buying.
