Does this Model/Version make the 'babbling brook' sound?

No babbling brook sound that I have heard - but this model does a great job moving the water in our bird bath. Birds seem to enjoy the moving water.Carol

Thanks everyone for your answer. It does seem to be one specific, and newer, model that makes the running water sound. We have noticed the noise most definitely attracts other birds besides our normal residents (maybe ones that would have kept flying by without noticing?) I'd strongly recommend the version that makes the running water noise, which, I've learned, is apparently the 6WW. We're only in need of another because some raccoons took exception to our ownership of the agitator arm (that spins the water) and stole it. :( Anyway... Thanks again, everyone.

No noise. It's biggest feature is the movement of the water. Birds seem to enjoy the water source.

No, it makes no noticeable sound. However, the birds still find the moving water more attractive than still water.

Not really- nothing loud that I have heard. Maybe if the water level was lower? Mosquitoes still lay eggs in the water though- but I think it cuts down on their numbers. At least, I'd like to hope that it does... since I bought one!!

Yes, there is a short loop that plays. It still works just fine for us (for ocean, or rain, it works great. the forest has a bird chirping a bit too regularly for my taste.) But if you are sensitive to it, this could drive you nuts. We've bought these for years (we use them every night and they eventually break down). I prefer them to some of the other similarly priced or cheaper models because of the quality of the sounds.

Just got mine and it's definitely not quite and it makes even more noise when it turns (and to me that's really unacceptable in the manufacturing). I was going to use it in my office, but will try it in my bedroom instead, since white noise in there won't bother me.

No. This is actually a pretty quiet brewer other than the normal perculating noise. I hope this helps. And it is a gorgeous machine:)

Not to my knowledge. Mine has never made a noise of any kind. You should contact the manufacturer or Amazon.

Yes! Mine also makes the gurgling noise. From my experience, all ultrasonic humidifiers of this size or larger make a gurgling sound. This is due to the gravity fed reservoir gulping air to displace the water being used.

Mine makes the same sound. It doesn't seem to affect performance. Love this machine!

No mine does not. I have noticed that when the batter is getting low it does have a barely audible chirp that took me some time to figure out.

My unit says thunder, ocean, brook, summer night, rain and white noise. After I bought mine and had been using it for awhile, I saw the same one at Walmart for $19. Could have kicked myself!

No, I didn't resolve it. I tried 3 different ones, and they all had the same noise. Let me know if you end up going with the same model from a different store, I'm interested to see whether this is a problem with Amazon's batch or the entire line. It's too bad everywhere else is so much more expensive than Amazon though...

I find mine makes all kinds of noises. It sounds like it's from outerspace?! I suppose it's due to all that jazz going on inside. With that being said, it pulls the water in, makes and drops the ice and works quite efficiently. I wouldn't worry about all the noises unless it's not functioning properly...

I don't think so.. I never had too! As for the noise. I get the same think but only on 1 of the 4 that I bought. Possible defective..

It vibrates a little bit as the spindle spins but should not make a lot of noise or a loud vibration. The noise it creates should sound like an air spinning inside the water reservoir.

Hi. Mine is also new - used for the first time yesterday. It does NOT squeak or make a zipping sound. You should check it out. Good luck.

No I have not heard it, mine is silent, though I have yet to use it for long periods. I don't think it's normal, but if it still does what it says on the pack it's ok.If it's not broken don't fix it!

It does make noises by bubbling the water. The heating function doesn't work. The hot water gets cold quickly because of the bubbling.
