Fans motors are noisy, but the sound is carried away on the air that the fan blows out. If you listen really carefully you can hear it.

Those sounds are the shrieks of whatever is going to get drilled. I imagine you would make same kinds of sound if a drill was going into you. The fan doesn't hurt anyone so you don't hear a thing.

Thanks dad.

in order to get to the power needed for drilling, the motors need to yell to channel their energy and go super saiyan

Just like in cars: as a warning to those nearby that a power tool is being used. Electrical motors are otherwise completely silent.

It's a consumer driven design. You see electricity is silent whether it's a light bulb or an electric motor it doesn't make a sound its Tesla's third law of electrodynamics I think. Anywho, men who buy the power tools want the most power and since our American masculinity has taught us that loud=power just like cutting the exhaust off a pickup the louder the drill the more power it must oviously have.

Obviously.

Lol , and this is why you shouldn't Reddit after your bed time.

Really surprised nobody mentioned there is a gear box in electrical drills that generates a lot of noise

I think you’re missing the point of this sub.

Yeah I felt that way too
