    it's pretty f*cking loud dude

    even if you turn the speakers down the flippers/pops/slings/kickers still make a lot of noise

    i play downstairs in the living room and it still annoys my wife, upstairs in the bath, with two closed doors and a set of stairs between us

    as a former michigan person that has moved to CA, lemme just say, i miss having a basement. it's a perfect spot for noisy pins

    Quoted from gdonovan:

    Honestly don't notice sling and pop noise.

    really didn't notice myself while playing, either. it took my kiddo turning the game on randomly in the middle of the day and playing it with me upstairs, to realize how loud the flippers are

    plus i have a subwoofer hooked up and play at 20 volume. it's deliberately obnoxious, and i keep the squink up loud, too. i've learned to treasure those 90-minute slots where my family goes to get their nails done, or something
