Is this mechanical timer noisy? Can you hear the click-click-click as the dial turns (like the old ones)?

If you are standing right next to it in a very quiet room, you will hear, not a click, I guess I would describe it as a quiet hum. I really like these, I love coming home knowing the lights come on a 5PM and off by midnight, the home looks so much warmer. I also used mine this year on the outdoor Christmas lights around the house, I get to enjoy the lights while I fall asleep and I know the timer will shut down after midnight. I highly recommend this product. Be careful, there are very complicated and time-wasting similar products, if you want the lights to change hours every day of the week, you can get some really frustrating one.

It does make a noise when it's turned on, which I would describe more as a loud click.

The ticking noises on the features that I stated previously was due to the timer but I have notice different sounds for different settings. Also, I do recall using toaster setting once and I heard nothing out of the ordinary, only the timer ticking noise.

The only noise I will occasionally hear is a slight click when the power switches on/off. Other than that, it is completely silent. It's basically a digital clock with outlets

Unfortunately, the sound is normal for this particular thermostat. I replaced an older Honeywell with this unit and was amazed that the newer model made such a loud click when calling for chilled air (still summer here). Since the thermostat is in my hallway, I am sure the click is louder due to the echo off the walls. But heck ... my "old" thermostat was so silent that I had to lean in to hear the relay pick. Actually looking at tossing this one for something quieter and with more features perhaps. I am not going to talk to my thermostat from my phone but I would like to have the outside air temp displayed. So ... quiet its not. Unfortunately, the sound is normal for this particular thermostat.

I don't notice a clicking noise, though admittedly I'm a fairly heavy sleeper & I don't wake up until the maximum light & bird alarm. I would think a loud clicking would awaken me, so I'm voting yours might be faulty.

I have not found the click sound of the mouse to be a distraction. It is not loud to me. The plastic top cover of the mouse bends down to click an internal switch.I have found it to be subdued and hardly noticeable.

Yes, there is a very light clicking sound. Not a loud one that you might here from something like the Power Tail Switch, but a gentle one.If complete quiet is important, you might want to look into the solid-state version of this relay.

My original timer was fine but the replacement is very loud. The ticking can be heard in the next room. I will be switching to a solid state timer.

For small increment movements (like a few degrees), the sound is like "zip, zip" - kind of like what a robot sounds like. When it starts up or if there is like a large degree rotation movement, you'll definitely hear it if you're in a small room and there is no sound. It does sound like a robot's gears moving, but it's not loud. I've never heard any click noises before. But if it sounds like it's an abnormal grinding sound, the gears are probably worn or broken. It should be smooth sounding like a typical robot movement sound.

Since this is a digital timer, I have not noticed it make any noise. The lights that are controlled by the timer make more noise turning on than you ever hear from the timer itself.

Thanks, but I'm not talking about the clicker. The newest model (came out about 3-6 mths ago) has no sound at all with the clicker off. The older version does have a soft clicking sound even with the clicker off. Just trying to find out which one these are before buying. Thanks.

I don't know of a way, but I agree that it's not very loud. I suggest you set another timer with a louder beep as a backup!

This heater is very quiet but does make a clicking noise when it cycles on and off. I am a lite sleeper but after a little while I didn't even notice the noise. I hope this helps.

Mine does not click unless it is turning off or on. It's not silent when running but it's more of a soft whirring sound.

I have had the same problem---I figured that if I can manually turn the unit on by turning the dial, then the red piece is inserted correctly and it is hitting the gear correctly so maybe there is a little debris inside stopping the timing wheel from turning correctly when running on it's own.---Never checked out that theory(Just bought a new timer).---Maybe my moving the dial was all the pressure it needed(That it can't do on it's own)to make it function correctly.---I have also had some older timers that seem to become a little noisy and lose some of their motor strength over time!---Best of luck I have had the same problem---I figured that if I can manually turn the unit on by turning the dial, then the red piece is inserted correctly and it is hitting the gear correctly so maybe there is a little debris inside stopping the timing wheel from turning correctly when running on it's own.---Never checked out that theory(Just bought a new timer).---Maybe my moving the dial was all the pressure it needed(That it can't do on it's own)to make it function correctly.---I have also had some older timers that seem to become a little noisy and lose some of their motor strength over time!---Best... » Read More I have had the same problem---I figured that if I can manually turn the unit on by turning the dial, then the red piece is inserted correctly and it is hitting the gear correctly so maybe there is a little debris inside stopping the timing wheel from turning correctly when running on it's own.---Never checked out that theory(Just bought a new timer).---Maybe my moving the dial was all the pressure it needed(That it can't do on it's own)to make it function correctly.---I have also had some older timers that seem to become a little noisy and lose some of their motor strength over time!---Best of luck « Show Less

It is not particularly noisy. It cycles automatically over a preset timed cycle that the operator sets. We have been very happy with this product..
