I have a carbon as well and it is louder than I’d like. But with that said it’s no louder (with the enclosure open) than my old Ender 3S1. The real noise comes from the enclosure fan which is optional if you’re printing PLA.
I haven’t tried any sound dampening mods to it though. I have the luxury of being able to stick it in a closet when it’s working.
With it all considered I would definitely recommend it for it’s price point and how well it prints for a novice hobbyist like myself. It’s really close to “set it and forget it”





My experience is quite different. I have 4 puppos and we have practiced “lining up” with each in their place as they wait for their meals. I release them with a simple “Okay” and they know the difference between that and “Ohhhhhhtay” and “Ohio” or “Oahu.”
These examples differ a bit from what you said but I think dogs can differentiate better than we give them credit for sometimes.
