A:AnswerLess noisy than our old Royal. Of course, it is a vacuum cleaner, and somewhat noisy.
The canister is also not overly noisy. If it was quiet, I would suspect it was not very powerful.
A:AnswerHi Dianne! If purchased new from BestBuy the canister and attachments will come with the Platinum Upright. Hope this answers your question! ~Kenya, Hoover Customer Care
