How noisy is it? Can people talk comfortably around it?

I'm wondering if we just bought a new-used sanitizer if it would be quieter. 
Ours was used when we bought it in 2000.

What I'm hearing here is avid sanitizer users with others saying less avidly 
that residential machines do the job and are quieter. Am I reading this right? 
There don't seem to be _avid_ residential dishwasher users.
