Quiet with good vibrations, but the rotation is weak and only gets weaker when pressure is applied. The clitoral stimulator could have been a bit longer, and the shaft could have been a bit wider. I enjoyed this toy as a beginner, but would have enjoyed it a lot better had it worked longer. It is pretty and looks like it would do the trick, but it just didn't give me the pleasure I was hoping for. Dear Sugar Spoon, you simply aren't sweet enough for me.
