Should this thing make any noise? Mine whistles when not under load. (Turn on a light, and the whistle stops).

That has not happened with this unit. Something similar occurred with a different unit and it failed not long after. The whistling that time was coming from a circuit board. My advice is to watch and wait. It may be temporary.

When I turned it on the first time, I thought there was something wrong with it because I could barely hear that it was running. Needless to say, the noise level should not be an issue. :)

Sorry, I clicked on the wrong answer. It does not light up, other than the on/off switch. It does make some noise, but is not overly noisy.

It's dead silent. I have never heard any noise from it. I have two of them. Same result. Hope this helps.

Ours makes a small cyclic hum. You can hear it. It doesn't bother me, but everyone has different tolerances.

My secure nano doesn't make any noise aside from when it is blowing steam and its a very light noise. It's possible you may have received a defective one,

I haven't heard any sounds from my light so far.I think its a pretty good design Possibly the switch is intermittent.Try turning another light setting and then switch back.

I got this and mine made a beeping noise but it wasn't loud at all. Is it defective or ????!

This sounds like a defect. My unit is very stable and in normal use has been extremely quiet. Maybe yous has been damaged during shipment?

Mine was installed but, it doesn't whistle at all. I have to make sure that I don't forget that the stove is on.

Mine does not hum, I use it as an automatic transfer switch in the living room, it's been on 24 hrs a day for a month with zero noise. I would return it and try another one.

Yes, return it. It should not make a load noise at all! We have two of these both from Amazon and we love them. We call it the 'baby whisperer'

The charger i received does not make any noises, so hopefully it helps you identify the issue. In your case i would definitely try to get a replacement as this noise usually corrseponds to malfunction. To add...my last charger which i replaced made those noises and aoon after stopped charging. Cheers

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

When mine goes on, it makes a loud pop and then a very loud and noticeable vibrating noise, like from a coil or something. This dies down after several seconds, and then it runs quietly....until the next cycle. It cycles several times an hour. Have had the unit for 11 months, and it has made these noises the whole time. Negligible effect on my electric bill.

I can hear a slight sound on mine, along with the light going off. It seems to take several seconds to reactivate if there is constant movement.

It sounds like a defective unit. Mine works perfectly.... knock on wood... no issues so far and I've had it for over a yr.
