How noisy is the motor on a sit-stand desk?

Commercial-grade sit-stand desk motors operate at 45–55 dB — imperceptible in a normal office. Entry-level motors can produce 60–70 dB, noticeable and potentially disruptive in open offices. For open office environments, specify motors rated below 50 dB. FindOfficeFurniture.com includes motor noise levels in sit-stand desk product specs — call 888-719-4960.
