How loud are countertop nugget ice makers?

Noise is the single most-cited complaint in specialist threads. On r/BuyItForLife, reviewers repeatedly flag the GE Opal family as loud during the auger and harvest cycles. Manufacturer specs in the supplied signals claim 40–50 dB for newer machines like the GoveeLife Smart Nugget Pro and EUHOMY nugget units, but real-world buyers describe a noticeable rumble. Don't put any of these next to a bedroom.
