What Makes a Vibrator ‘Silent’?

Let’s start with a bit of a reality check… it isn’t actually possible to get an entirely silent vibrator. No vibrator will ever be 100% quiet and that is because all vibrators require a motor. Motors create vibrations and vibrations… (you guessed it), make noise. So, any manufacturer stating their vibrator is “silent” is stretching the truth a little.

But don’t fear, all is not lost, because it is perfectly possible to get near silent vibrators and these extra quiet models are available in abundance! The quietest vibrators operate below 40db which is less noise than the hum inside your fridge or a whispered conversation… not bad right?

Silent vibrators (or extra quiet vibrators as we like to call them), will have certain attributes that support them in producing very little noise:

• High quality motors with less parts, thus creating less noise
• Noise dampening materials such as medical grade silicone that will absorb the vibrations helping to muffle any sound
• Seamless construction meaning noises are contained inside the vibrator itself and are not able to escape

Top Features to Look for in Silent Vibrators

When shopping for a silent vibrator there are a couple of features to be on the look out for. These can help to ensure both discretion and satisfaction in equal measures:

• Choose a vibrator that is defined as “extra quiet”, “whisper quiet” or “silent”. The top retailers will typically have a separate category within their main vibrator section, making these models easier to locate.
• Certain materials naturally lend themselves to being quieter. Opting for a silicone toy over a plastic toy will always see a reduced level of sound as silicone absorbs noise, whereas plastic can enhance.
• Rechargeable models provide consistent power and quieter performance in comparison to battery operated vibrators. This is because a traditional replacement battery pack has more component parts for the vibrations to reverberate off.
• Compact designs lend themselves to be being quieter and this is because they have fewer moving parts and simpler mechanics which are less prone to producing noise.
• If you are planning on taking your sex toys away with you then a travel lock feature can be a benefit. These locks prevent the vibrator springing into life of their own accord. Helping to avoid any unnecessary embarrassment at customs or whilst checking into a hotel.
• Finally, its worth checking to see if your chosen vibrator comes with a product warranty. Some of the best brands offer extended warranties on their sex toys meaning should anything go wrong, they will replace it or give a refund. Satisfyer sex toys offer a 15 year warranty on their products so its well worth registering your toy after purchase. Here at passionbugs we offer a 12 month guarantee on our entire collection so you can shop in confidence.

How to Maintain and Care for Your Silent Vibrator

If you’re going to invest in a silent vibrator then you’re going to need to invest in its proper care and maintenance too. It’s a two way relationship. You provide the TLC and the vibrator will provide many more happy adventures. Looking after your vibe is also going to extend its lifespan which isn’t a bad thing when you think of that hard earned cash you’ve splashed out.

Here’s a few top tips to help you maintain and care for new bedroom buddy.

Cleaning & Storage

Lets start with how to clean your silent vibrator.

1. First and foremost clean it after every use. Avoid harsh chemicals as these can cause damage to the fabric of your toy over time. Use a mild antibacterial soap or a specialised sex toy cleaner. Cleaning a vibrator thoroughly after use, not only keeps it hygienic, it also prevents the buildup of lubricant residue.
2. Dry thoroughly before popping it away. Air drying is the best way, but if this isn’t possible, a good rub down with a towel or lint free cloth should do the job.
3. Store properly in a designated bag or box. If you’re feeling fancy, why not invest in some sex toy storage? If not, just avoid plastic bags. Plastic bags encourage moisture which could lead to nasty mould and mildew. Wherever you store your vibrator, be sure to make it cool and dry.

Maintenance

Now let’s look at how to maintain it.

• Inspect the vibe regularly even if you’re not using it too often (which we doubt!) Checking for damage such as cracks or tears, exposed wires or loose battery cases will compromise the safety of your toy and will amplify any sound levels.  
• Ensure you recharge in line with the manufacturers instructions. A common mistake many people make is to leave their vibrator charging overnight. This is a big no go, as it can harm the battery and significantly reduce its lifespan.
• Replace when necessary. Even the highest quality silent vibrators will reach a point where they have served their time. If you notice them becoming nosier it might be time to look for a new one as this can be a sign the motor is on the way out.

Comparing Prices: Is a Silent Vibrator Worth the Investment?

Silent vibrators have many enticing benefits including enhanced privacy, less distractions and peace of mind, but these benefits come at a price. Because in truth, many silent vibrators will often have a heftier price tag than other vibrators that perform similar stimulation. Which begs the question, is a silent vibrator worth the investment?

Let’s take a look at key benefits a silent vibrator can provide:

• Privacy – We know a silent vibrator is more discreet helping us to enjoy uninterrupted pleasure without the fear of being overheard. This makes them ideal for people in a house or flat share situation, students in University accommodation, and those of us still living at home.
• Relaxation – We also know that a quiet vibrator removes noise distractions during play enabling us to focus on the sensations and immerse ourselves in the moment.
• Setting the mood – With the removal of noise comes calm, helping to create a more sensual atmosphere for play.
• Supreme quality – Silent vibrators are often seamless in their deign and are crafted from the highest quality materials. They will often feature the latest technology, all of which combines to form a sex toy that performs on another level. They usually have longer lifespans than those of cheaper models.
• Less intrusion – A silent vibrator will blend into the play without needing to announce its presence, meaning less interference and more intimacy.
• Confidence boosting: Knowing that your vibrator won’t give the game away, helps many people to let their hair down a little. This peace of mind enables some to enjoy themselves which in turn magnifies pleasure.

There is no doubt that you will be looking at a bigger upfront investment with this type of vibrator but do their long-term benefits outweigh this? Look at it this way…

• Cost vs. Longevity: You may well be paying out more to begin with, but the better quality build and materials should mean your vibrator lasts longer than a cheaper model.
• Ongoing Costs: Most quiet vibrators are rechargeable meaning you wont have the ongoing cost of replacing batteries.
• Quality of Experience: For the more demanding players, spending a little extra for an enhanced experience, extra functionality and better comfort can be invaluable, especially for frequent users.

Exploring Further: Top Tips for Discreet Play

Whether you invest in a silent vibrator or not, there are a few other things you can do that will help to make sexy time more discreet. Here are our top 10 tips for reducing noise levels.

1. Use your vibrator under the bedsheets or a thick blanket. The duvet acts as soundproofing, absorbing noises emitted. FYI pillows work too!
2. Play music to mask the vibrations.
3. If your vibrator is waterproof, use it in the bath or in the shower. The sound of the water drowns out any noise you, or the vibe might make plus the water adds another arousing twist to the sensations.
4. Turning on a fan will help to disguise any unwanted noises.
5. Choose the time you play. If there is a time of day, or day of the week, when you know the house will be quiet, then schedule that time for you and your vibe.
6. Vibrators that can be worn internally are naturally less noisy as the body absorbs sounds. Love egg vibrators, couples vibrators and vibrating dildos are all great choices.
7. Position the vibrator against your chosen body part before turning it on. The body will muffle the noise. This works particularly well with clitoral suction vibrators.
8. Playing ambient sounds such as rain or whale song has the same effect as your favourite playlist.
9. Closing windows is something people can forget to do, and nobody wants to be mid climax to realise their neighbour is pottering in the garden.
10. Avoid the bed unless you can be sure it wont give the game away. Lots of beds have a tendency to let people downstairs know exactly what is going on above them.

Conclusion

In conclusion the best silent vibrator could have a higher upfront cost compared to its cheaper counterparts. But if you are someone that values a quality experience, discretion and privacy as well as durability, then they could be well worth the investment.  

Balancing a pre agreed budget with your own individual needs and preferences can help to determine if the quiet route is the right route for you.
