Most convection ovens are quiet. The one that I had was a large table
top model. It was great to be able to actually cook food in such a small
oven. I used it for a short while because our regular oven was not
functioning. Once we fixed the oven, it was deemed too big to keep. If
you have the counterspace, it's an efficient and fast alternative to a
standard oven.

OTOH The clear plastic ones with a blow dryer type heating unit on the
top are pretty noisy. Well, the ones that I've heard anyway.
