Definitely no louder than normal hamster noises like moving through bedding or digging.
This is a clip with sound of one of my gerbils using it:

I find it's a lot quieter once plastikoted because their claws don't scrabble against the cork so much and that wheel wasn't plastikoted when I took the clip.

Oh my goodness your clip is a gods sent. I tried finding a clip with a hamster on it but they all mostly had music over if the hamster was on it or they just spoke about it without showing a hamster using it.
It seems so much quieter than the silent wheel, even when it was brand new. The wheel I have made like an echo from the hamsters feet where he tippity tapped on it all night long so this seems perfect! I'm so excited I ended up purchasing in this wooden one. Thank you so much for the clip, massive help!
