I had a little brother who played drums and the noise was unbearable to me with my noise sensitivities. When my husband wanted to buy a drum set a few years ago I was not enthusiastic. We finally compromised on an electronic set. Now he puts on his head phones and bangs away. All I hear is the soft tapping on the heads. The noise is similiar to the sound made with a practice pad. Serious drummers prefer acoustic sets, which are actually less expensive, but if you have to live with a drummer an electronic set is the way to go.
