Introducing the Pulseroll Massage Gun

Noise

The Hypervolt is advertised as one of the quietest massage guns on the market. At around 65 decibels (dB), it is a bit louder than an electric toothbrush and a tick less noisy than the Pulseroll. But taking the higher stall force into account, the noise level of the Pulseroll is still very competitive.

Around 70 dB

Around 65 dB

  • Pneumatic head (Sensitive muscles)
