If you're wondering how quiet the Silhouette CAMEO 4 is...the answer is: quieter than the CAMEO  3at least according to the audio waves.

I get a surprising number of questions about whether the Silhouette CAMEO 4 is any quieter than the CAMEO 3.

Just listening to the two machines cut, my initial reaction was - they make a different sound while cutting, but I'm not sure the CAMEO 4 could claim it's actually quieter. BUT...I was proven wrong in my very scientific testing.

I set up my camera on a tripod and did not move it at all. I first recorded first the CAMEO 4 cutting a design out of adhesive vinyl. Then I swapped the machine, placing the CAMEO 3 in the same spot. I had it cut the exact same design on the same sheet of vinyl.
 
When I pulled the clip into my video editing software and looked at the audio, there was no question, the CAMEO 4 sound decibel is lower than the CAMEO 3's. 

I spliced the video up  bit so the clips were intermixed and would play back to back. Check out the audio level displayed in blue.

Listening to the above clips side by side, it's very obvious the CAMEO 4 is quieter than the CAMEO 3 while cutting with Carriage 1.

Keep in mind, I have not yet been able to test the cutting with Carriage 2 as the tools are not yet available.
