I just received mine. It makes a faint hissing sound when plugged in and off. Any similar experiences?

you may want to check if the hissing comes from the device base or the power adaptor, make sure the device is off.

I heard that the first or second time I used mine. In my case it was because I was not careful and did not avoid getting the adapter wet. Keeping that dry prevented that issue for me.

Hissing may be water inside the innards where it shouln't be. I would return it for an exchange if I were you. I hope you kept the packaging!!!! Call them first to tell them you are sending it back. This device should not make hissing sounds--loud motor noise seems to be the norm, though! --SuAnn

Can't say I've had that experience but maybe you could help me with something: mine came with a plastic bag with two small rubber gasket pieces to stop up the bowl when you transfer the water from the faucet. I can't figure out how to put those on and no one from corporate will answer my emails. Can you describe how your black rubber pieces are fit into the bottom of the reservoir? Thanks.

My power adapter hums when plugged in. Is that what you're hearing? I don't get any sounds from the flosser itself. It's happened since the first day that I owned it. I don't consider it to be a major issue. My solution is to just keep it unplugged when not in use.

No hissing sound on mine but I was dissatisfied with the lack of power and I felt that it wa too hard to take out of the cradle to fill. I sent it back and got the newest water pic model.

I have had mine for some time and don't recall that it was a problem when I installed the battery. Sounds like you may have to return it and get another, BTW, I do like (and trust) the unit.

Fortunately mine has been working fine since receiving it. my suggestion would be to send it back for an exchange or a refund.

mine doesn't hum. I wish I could help. Maybe it is the model. I had one, that i loved, and one day, it just quit working. They didn't make that model anymore, and I had to cut the plug, and send it to them, and then they sent me the most similiar model. But I really loved my old one. It was beautiful. This one works great, but is not as aesthetically pleasing to the eye. :-(

Does the hissing noise occur solely on that Android device ? If the answer is no then you likely have a defective unit.

Contact the company for a replacement, sounds like a defect. I never had that issue with mine.

I hear no such noise in mine, however, I always leave mine in standby mode. I suspect you have a noisy cooling fan.

Mine, which I bought about four months ago, does not make any noise. You might consider returning it. That is my only advice.

I discovered that same hiss when my TV was connected to a DTV converter box, equipped with its own universal remote. I was able to eliminate the hiss by lowering the volume on the TV's remote. I use the converter boxes remote to power on and off the tv as well as change channels and raising and lowering the volume. Note that everytime the tv suffers a power interuption by either being disconnected or power outage, I have to again lower the tv volume (and raise the volume using the converter boxes remote

I had no hiss, but check inside the bottom of the speaker I did have a piece of plastic wrap packed inside that caused a noise. But once I removed it, it was fine.

I don't experience a hiss, but it's common if attaching speakers to internal audio cards due to electrical interference. Some computers are designed to handle this better. Similar to Rob, my MBP does that when attached to an external monitor. My PC has no problem. If you keep experiencing hissing problems and it bothers you, consider a USB sound card.

No issues that I know of. Sounds like static electricity is effecting the unit? I'd say its defective. Good luck!!

Me to, I thought it was just me. I just unplug it and then plug it back in. I repeat this process until it works, usually I have to plug and unplug a couple of times. Annoying. Dan

I did not have that problem at all. Sounds like a defective product. I would ask amazon for an exchange....sorry for the late response...John

Mine worked fine when I plugged it in. No issues like you are having. Mine is awesome. Good luck.

I'm not sure if your unit is defective. My newtrent does not make noise when charging. you may have to contact the company so they can help you with that issue.

Curious... Does it just flicker on/off randomly? I ask because mine started doing that very recently. I thought I had a short somewhere but disconnected the output wire, and you could still hear the thing clicking on/off constantly on its own. So disappointed and haven't had it all that long.
