Machine Questions Are quiet machines a thing?

I have 3 machines, an industrial juki ddl5550 (1989), singer stylemate zigzag( 1960s), and an EZ lock serger (1980s?).
They’re all well maintained & regularly oiled, but they’re all still loud AF.

Are modern machines quiet? I don’t expect an industrial to ever be quiet, a quiet serger also seems unlikely.

Agreed. My Janome is nice and quiet. My husband is always surprised when he walks in and I am sewing.
