How loud does the machine run?

We have a decibel reader, it was at 72 decibels. I was talking loud apparently at 70. A vacuum cleaner is at 80. So somewhere between your loud aunt and a vacuum cleaner. We had it on our kitchen counter, it reminded me of a white noise maker.

What is the model number for extra trays, screens and fruit roll trays?

I have the Nesco FD-1040 and purchased Nesco TR-2 add-a-tray and Nesco SLD-2-6 fruit rollup trays on Amazon. They look and fit like the ones delivered with the unit. I went to the Nesco web site to purchase the herb drying screens and to verify the fit of trays I bought on Amazon.

According to the NESCO website, any plastics that will touch food are BPA free. That's all I know.

is it made in the usa?

The box is labeled made in the USA but the sticker also says “of US and global components”. When you take the top out of the inner box the underneath side says made in China (very hard to see but it’s there)
