loud noisy sounds? Just got this unit after all the great reviews, and it seems to work great, but I didn 't expect all the noise.More than just a few intermittent clicks, through most of the cooking process is a sound that is pretty loud. I understand it's supposed to be the steam venting. Is everybody else's unit noisy? It sounds like a mixer going in my kitchen for over an hour! loud noisy sounds?

Mine can be noisy, but mostly when cooking beans. I find the noise rather comical, actually. I suppose it could be a little disruptive if you're trying to have dinner conversation...

I also just bought the laptop and I am hearing this weird clicking sounds constantly!I called tech support and they said it was part of the HDD Protection Settings, so I turned it off and the noise stopped briefly but came back. I think I will have to call again because this is noisier than the 2007 laptop I had before.If it doesn't stop I will return the laptop.

It's noticeable but not the worst I've heard. Putting it up high (be careful, drippage) might block it. We had music and the noise wasn't a problem. Can definitely talk over it.Please be aware that I personally had TERRIBLE dripping problems with mine but perhaps it was a defective item. Best of luck if you purchase!

Mine makes a clicking noise too. I wouldn't mind, but the clicking noise is quite loud compared to the machine running on the "Low" setting. I haven't tried this yet, but maybe it only clicks in "Auto" mode? I didn't notice it for the first few days when I had it running on High all the time.

I don't think it's loud especially when compared to other types of heaters. I've had several heaters of different types over the years & this one is definitely a lot quieter than any other I've owned with the exception of a dish type which didn't have any kind of fan. The only thing that's loud on this is after it cycles down it does make a distinct "pop" when it shuts itself completely off. Any heater with a fan is going to make some noise but this is by far much quieter than most.

We are using it in a salon atmosphere where blow dryers are going throughout the day, so I had not noticed if there was much "noise" coming from the unit. Also, we keep it in the back of the salon where it is coolest in the winter. It doesn't appear to be loud but yes, I can hear it blowing when I am close by. Being I'm not in a quiet environment I'm not sure this answer is going to be much help. Have a nice day.

To me it sounds the same as most others, I mean its not really loud but its not quiet either IMHO, it maybe a little more quiet then most but if you are looking for something that barely has any noise I don't think this is it, but I tell you what its a great toilet tho, never gotten clogged or any problems. Hope that helps.

Somewhat loud. I leave it in the kitchen and close the door. Wouldn't leave it in the room next to where you spend time. Another thing to consider is smell. Which is normal when you dry food. Except the room smell like the food that you dry. Kitchen is the best place in the winter. I run it outside int eh summer. Hope this helps.

My nuwawve makes a little noise as the motor spins up, but it is not that loud unless you want sleep next to it while cooking :) a microwave oven is much louder the only con for me is lack of induction cookware or cheaper ware at many stores

Mine isn't noisy at all. And mine works awesome and is well worth the price. Just bought mine used do I didn't spend the money a new one would be. Maybe it's clogged ?

Check out Consumer Reports. They also said this is a great rerigerator except for the noise. The noise kept it from being the number one pick. BTW, we just got our new Samsung french door counter depth rerigerator. It is "Whisper" quiet. You have to actually listen to tell if it is running.

Hi. Yes. It makes a bit of a squeal. And varies with different cookware. But nothing too loud or obnoxious. I think it's normal for this type of cooktop.

It is a bit noisy, but this unit is by far the most used appliance I own. I haven't used my deep fryer sense I got my TurboFry, I don't even notice the noise anymore.

I havent noticed any sound out of the ordinary since I bought it. It is not a quiet microwave but I havent noticed it being any louder than my GE Elite microwave that I have at my other house.

I guess that depends on the noise. When the steam releases, you hear that. It does take a few minutes for the water to heat. Then press and get lots of steam. You might be hearing the water begin to boil?

It's pretty loud. I can hear it in other rooms as long as there is no real loud back round noise. It beeps for a pretty good while, but not in defitnilty. I was looking for a timer that was close to the one from Pampered Chef. This was as close as I could get. This one though is louder. Hope this helps!

Pretty loud...just like my old one. I got it mainly for the 'not so hot' HIGH heat. It's good in this area. I just turned it on so I could give you a good answer...it's loud. I'm still looking for one that is less forceful and less loud. The low heat is not loud at all and does a good job. With my thin hair I don't have to use the high heat very long before turning it to low heat. I do like this unit better than my old one...the regular high voltage one. Hope this helps.
