My p1s is slightly louder than my old MK3S+. I have to turn down the aux fan and chamber fan, otherwise it would be way too loud. I wish there are better part cooling fans available, so it could be more quiet.
But in order to print fast you have to have the part cooling at high levels (at least for PLA/PETG) or the door open. Then the chamber fan might also be disabled. But still load.
For me only printing ABS/ASA is somehow not that noisy, when I disbaled chamber fan, part cooler and fan at the print head. Anything else has to run during the night when I am not near the room.
The champer fan is 24V and in some videos people showed that if you install a slower fan then the software will still keep the high standard rpm as 100% (about 4800rpm), and the new fan will then only work at 40% relative to the old. At some point the software may also recognice a fan as not working. The software is not open source and setting modifyable like e.g. on Klipper or Prusa. I think the next printer will be a more open device even I like the simplicity of printing with the bambu P1s. But there are some big cons.
Mine sits on 2 inches of rubber as well as a paving stone which helps a lot.

I got my P1 last night, installed on the floor and printed little boat thing. And it was loud.
Someone mentioned sound cancelling in a firmware update on Reddit, but I couldnāt find any additional information on it.
I think a sound and vibrational analysis is in order. I couldnāt find any information from Bambu about the sound generated by the P1S - decibels, frequency that sort of thing. Iām hoping to use this information to choose the right insulation material to build a box for it.
Iāll post back if I do manage to do it in the meantime if somebody does do it. Please let us know.
So, I recorded the sound outputed from my P1S from bed levelling to print completion at default speed. the audio sample was a total of 30 minutes.
Here are some plots

Summary for my setup:
Significant power is concentrated in the Low Frequencies (0-500 Hz), indicating bass-heavy or deep sounds - fans, toolhead drive motor and belt.
There is a sharp High-Frequency Peak (~15,000 Hz) which almost certainly from the fast toolhead motion and breaking.
I post about the materials i choose once i get to it. and them there is vibration!
(Ho do i add images to posts? is it possible?)
Copy and paste.
Blablablabla.

Once you become a basic user you will be able to do all of these extra features.

Iām confused.
