I would rather put a big hat over the printer 😋 .

Statt zu klagen, dass wir nicht alles haben, was wir wollen, sollten wir lieber dankbar sein, dass wir nicht alles bekommen, was wir verdienen.

I have had my MK3S for a long time, and it has always been this loud. I haven't heard anything like this amount of noise(around 55dB). Stealth mode is still 50dB. I can kind of hear it from two floors above. Does anyone know why it's so loud? Or is this sound normal? Please help...

(microphone 2 meters away from the printer)

I just got a MK3S kit about two weeks ago.  Built it, set the first layer height and went to printing. I have it sitting on top if a cabinet made from 1/2 inch plywood which had me worry about the noise I was reading about.  I can't believe how quiet this thing is. I set right next to it while working from home and it is no problem at all.  The kit did come with what I think the mentioned as new rubber feet.  Maybe I was just lucky.

Mine also came with those ones, I assembled around 2 weeks ago. But different prints are giving me different results in the sense of noise. I tried adding some lubricant as instructed on the help area of the Prusa website but couldn’t find much difference. 

Placing it on top of the cement slab did improve reducing the noise. But I think I am still getting quite some vibrations. I think I want to try the squash balls feet, that seems to absorbe quite a lot of vibrations according to tests.
