They’ve said they’ll upgrade X1 and P series with active noise cancellation they have on the A1, will be interested to see how much that reduces overall noise.
Comment on Prusa MK4 or Bambu labs p1s

The thing that gets me is that the P1s is SIGNIFICANTLY louder than the MK4 according to everyone who has a prusa and got a p1s.
That is definitely a big concern for me personally. I don’t know if a voron can be built to be very quiet, but it is always something that prusa did very well.

My 2.4 voron’s motors and drivers are pretty quiet. The electronics bay fans I initially built it with not so much. Those fans are now noctuas, which move more than enough air for this type of application and are very quiet. I recently added bed fans (well, really an under bed filter) and they’re a little louder but still not that bad. I work from home 3-4 days a week with the printer about 12 feet behind me. I spend most of my days on meetings and no one has ever mentioned printer noise, but someone will occasionally comment on the print head moving around.
I’ve never owned a Prusa, but my old i3 clone was way louder.

Trinamic silent stepper drivers make a world of difference. On my printer I swapped the main board for one with silent drivers. Identical hardware as before, 1/10th the noise.
I never believed people before when I read how much of a difference it made. But I’m so glad I did it now.
Noctua fans are also a world of difference.

I’m not completely sure what to do with my i3 clone. It’s fairly reliable and has served me well, but my Voron is so much more reliable. Maybe I’ll swap the board for quieter drivers and turn it into a PLA only printer for my kids…
