They actually do mention the noise, 50dB max. That is equivalent to a "quiet conversation in a house". BUT in a secluded camping spot, I'd bet it's quiet noticeable. (Compare a quiet conversation in a house to a quiet conversation in a library.) If you normally camp near running water, you are more accustomed noise and might not even notice it. I once camped near a small stream, just wide enough that you could jump across it; it was shallow, and had a very calm 'babbling brook' sound during the day. Wonderful and calming. By bedtime this peaceful flow was an utter torment, and much too loud.
