How noisy is it? Some induction cooker emit a loud buzz

Not noisy, but if water boils over it rounds onto the touchpad and can change the settings.

I consider the fan pretty loud(but doesn't bother me, better than not running at all), there's also some high pitch noise

This one does emit that noise, but the noise is not continuous, it goes away.

Mine never made that pitched noise, and I don't think it is normal. What I would do: exchanging it only. In my opinion, Cuisinart is dependable. ...But even the best one may fail some time, I guess.

That sounds like a question for the product manufacturer. I can say that mine is no more noisier than the exhaust fan on my stove.

Fairly noisy but it only makes noise as you fill it...like when you plug it in and silent until you initiate the air flow.

Hi K. Dudley,Thank you for your post. This rice cooker only made a loud noise once and then never again.... I do not know if maybe something was just not put together correctly... but it totally fine and I love it! I make oatmeal in it every night on the timer for in the morning. yummy!

It is a little noisy but it was never enough to bother me. I was using it mainly for a teapot and I would say the fan was never louder than the boiling water.

There is a very low hum, but in no way would I consider it noisy! Mine makes no noise whatsoever when I have only the flames turned on!

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

I have the 140 in my kitchen and it is not noisy at all. The only noise it makes is when it's pumping water into the heating chamber and it's not enough to even think about. I love mine it's bullet proof.

We have had this unit for several months, (in our kitchen), and I have never heard the unit run. I've heard the question asked before, but we have not had any issues with noise or otherwise. Very happy with our purchase...

The short scientific answer is around 45 dB I think. When it gets closer to boiling point, the noise is normal and doesnt last long. All electrical boilers have inherent noise inside, it is a trade off though, the more quiet an electrical boilers is, the slowest it would be. I personally compared it with one other brand, it is a little bit louder but functionality, ease of use, lightness and the kettle geometry itself worth.

You can hear the motor spin up - its not that loud (less noisy than the exhaust fan running low speed on a electric stove) unless you cook while you want to sleep then all bets off!

it may be the coil heating up when the unit is new we have not experienced this noise with ours.

Its not that loud. I hooked it up then unhooked it and went with a different model.

It's as loud as some microwaves with the fan vent running at low. But I can accept that noise considering how well it cooks my foods in no time. A frozen pre-seasoned pork chop or beef patty in less then 10 minutes. Who's complaining? Not I. :)

The first time I used my pan on an induction cooker, I heard popping noises. The next time I tried to use it, the pan would no longer work on the induction cook top. I think the popping sounds was the ferrous layer breaking the bond with the rest of the pan.

I do notice some buzzing when I first place a cold piece of cookware on the burner but it isn't that loud and seems to stop once things heat up. Not enough to bother me at all. Also, you should check around on the internet because people do complain about this issue even with higher end cookware like AllClad so may depend on the induction unit as well as the cookware. Maybe some people are more sensitive to the sound than others. I went from a gas commercial JennAir to a new Frigidaire Gallery induction cooktop and love it. I also love the Cooks Standard pieces (this set and the 5-clad Wok) but have no other comparison for induction and the amount of buzzing.
