12 Quiet Gifts for Christmas

12 Quiet Gifts for Christmas

Published by ELMENS.com

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year, With the kids jingle belling, And everyone telling you be of good cheer, It’s the most wonderful time of the year”, sings Andy Williams in his classic Christmas hit song. But with guests toing and froing and new toys a-beeping, it can also be a loud and stressful time too! Any gift that brings a little peace and calm to the festivities is very well received at Christmas.

Here are 12 Quiet Gifts for Christmas. Each one assessed by Quiet Mark’s expert team of acousticians, so you know, when you see the Quiet Mark on a product, it’s certified to be one of the quietest on the market. So whether it’s the budding musician in your life wanting to play the piano, or the style conscious stylist in the family who’d like a new hair dryer, there’s something here for everyone, to make their Christmases Merry and Bright… and yours that little bit more quiet!

1. Dyson HD01 & HD02 Supersonic Hair Dryer

Hair dryer design hasn’t fundamentally changed since the 1960s. Most still use large, bulky motors that can only fit in the head of the machine. The Dyson Supersonic™ is different. It’s re-thought. It’s small yet powerful digital motor sits in the handle, completely changing the way it works.

A glass bead thermistor measures the air temperature 20 times per second, guarding against extreme heat damage to protect natural shine.

The heart of the machine is the small and powerful digital V9 motor for fast drying. Conventional motors can be slow as 12,000RPM. The Dyson V9 motor is fast, at 110,000RPM, moving 13L of air each second to create a controlled, high velocity airflow.

It’s engineered for balance, with a motor that sits in the handle, for a new kind of drying experience.

It’s acoustically tuned for conversation. The powerful motor is tuned to produce one inaudible frequency. And it’s enveloped by a vibration reduction system, further reducing the transfer of noise between the motor and the case.

2. Yamaha Clavinova CLP-700 Series Digital Piano

Yamaha not only due to its heritage has a proud tradition of excellence in the development and construction of high-quality acoustic and innovative electronic instruments.

Created for experienced pianists and beginners alike, this exquisite new series offers endless opportunities for learning, creative musical expression and simple fun.
