I've got an electric pump we got cheapish from Matalan a few years ago. I tried it out today and it's quite loud - about as loud as our Dyson hoover, I would say. Are they all that loud? As a newbie camper, I would hate for anyone to think we were inconsiderate and too noisy. It takes about a minute to do a single airbed and we would have two singles and a double.
I was so embarrassed the first time I used mine. It appeared that everyone could hear and felt like the majority of people stopped what they were doing to turn round and stare!
I stuck with it though and after a while decided it was inflateable envy - I can pump things up instantly! I now offer to lend it out to people who look like they're on their last legs when, having fought with the tent are knackered when it comes to blowing up the beds.
Still use the old trusty foot pump at festivals and when I don't have the car nearby.
