My male eclectus is alot more quieter than my female, and the 2 are alot more quieter than my Quaker and ringneck. Also it depends where you are going to position them in your place. If they feel left out, then they are going to make alot of noise. Another thing to consider when placing the cage is sleep.. My pair get about 8-9 hours undisturbed sleep as they can become very stroppy if they don't get enough sleep.
