Looking for ways to dampen the sound of your vibrator so you can get off in peace? We’ve all been there. We get it. No matter how close you are with your roommates, you might not want them all to hear your buzzy bedroom friend. It’s fair. (Especially when your roommates are your parents. Ah!) 

While we really shouldn’t have to hide our sexual wellness routines, we do appreciate the pickle a buzzy vibrator can present. 

So, let's talk about how to make a vibrator quieter for a stealth vibrator sesh. 

#1 Suss out the situation first

When you’re figuring out how to make a vibrator quieter it's best to run some tests. While you’re home alone, test out how loud your vibrator really is. Turn it on, put it under the covers, close your bedroom door and go out into the hallway, living room etc. and listen. What do you hear?

Pretty often, you’ll hear nothing out of the norm. Vibrators almost always seem louder to the user than to anyone else.

(But, some vibes are more rumbly than others.)

#2 Put it in place before turning it on

If you’re going stealth mode, don’t turn on the vibe until it’s in place. Vibrating against your body will naturally muffle the sound, versus the sound of free vibing while you fumble around with the settings. 

This is ESPECIALLY true for clit sucking vibrators. Put the clit opening against your body before turning it on to muffle the sound.

#3 Use a quilt, or a pillow over your body

After it's in its happy place, put a pillow over your hips and maybe a blanket too. The pillow will certainly absorb some of the buzzy sound. You can always test that out during the first step.

#4 Drown it out

There’s no rule that you need to be totally silent, right? So, go about your business and “watch” a TV show, or a YouTube video *wink*. Turn on thunderstorms as your bedtime white noise. Turn on some music. These other humdrum noises will help drown out the sound of a vibrator. So long as these noises aren’t outside of your normal routine, no one will bat an eye. 

#5 Do your thing in the shower

Blast some music, and get in the shower. No one on god's green earth will be able to distinguish between your vibrator, the sound of the shower, or the bumpin’ Taylor Swift. 

What’s more stealth than that? 

And you gotta think, how long does it really take to come after all? For most, no longer than it would take to shower. 

#6 Grind on it 

When you press the vibrator onto a soft surface like a pillow, a bed or yourself, the sound is automatically muffled. So, why not try a muffling sandwich. Try putting the vibrator on a pillow and straddling the vibe. Your body on top of the vibrator will certainly muffle the buzzing. (Also this positioning is 10/10.)  

#7 Simply buy a quieter vibe 

Instead of figuring out how to make a vibrator quieter, simply buy a quieter vibe. Some are just louder than others.

For example, here at BerryLemon we have two clit suckers that boast vastly different noise levels. Aura, our most powerful clit sucker can be a bit rumbly.

Kai, on the other hand, is almost silent when in place. It’s our most discreet vibrator in the collection. 

Wearable vibrators like Kit are pretty quiet because part of it sits internally and stimulates the g-spot. 

In any case, when looking for a discreet vibrator, shop for a vibe that’s around 45dB.

#8 Or just do you boo. 

Allow me to climb atop my soapbox for a minute. 

I get that there are many valid reasons you don’t want others to overhear the intimate time you spend enjoying self care. But, isn’t it time we destigmatize masturbation already? 

We’re all doing it. Some are flying solo rocking some classic fancy finger work while others have stepped their game up with fabulous buzzy vibes. But, we’re all fuckin’ doing it. So what’s the big deal? 

If you’re tight with your roommates and feel comfortable, explore the possibility of asking for alone time so you can take care of your needs. They may want the same thing themselves. 

Or, if someone happens to overhear some rumbly vibes coming from your room every so often – so be it. It’s stress relieving, it improves sleep, it’s natural and it’s good for your brain chemistry.

You do you.
