I've heard that the mills are quieter once there is grain in the hopper. I think all of your sound tests were dry run (no grain). Is that correct? Any chance for an updated video comparing dBs in actual use (got to make good use of that fancy gadget, right)? Also it seems that they were all pretty comparable (high 90's - low 100's) that small difference seem to me that sound level wouldn't even come into play when considering only between these 4 options.

Are you LDS? Do you know about grain storage by any chance?

100 decibels, equivalent to a chain saw, pneumatic drill, printing plant, jackhammer, speeding express train, some car horns at five meters, farm tractor, riveting machine, some noisy subways [about 20 feet].
* 90 decibels, equivalent to a police whistle, heavy traffic, truck traffic, noisy home appliances subway-rail train, pneumatic drill [or hammer] at one meter, walk-man ear phone [average volume], rock drill at 100 feet, some motorcycles at 25 feet, shouted conversation.

@steviebboy69 -- You have a Wonder Junior Hand Grain Mill? Those are great ones. We love them and they are definitely our best sellers. For your information, the decibels measured in this video were measured (as you saw) without anything in the machine. On average the machines are about half as loud when grain is put through them. Our higher rated machines (the WonderMill and the Nutrimill) are the quietest when grain is in them. Thanks so much.

Stone ground is better than impact grinders if you're really into fine baking.

@allencrider -- We love the stone grinders! The Wonder Junior Deluxe is one of our favorites. In regards to our baking here in our test kitchen the impact grinders make great flour even on the fine settings. We typically use the fine flours for pastry type of recipes. We recommend either type. Stone grinders (and grinding with stones) have been around for centuries so many people are used to it. But they are both GREAT types of mills. Thanks for the comment!
