Why is this unit making so much noise? Unit is installed on 2nd floor kitchen and the noise from the unit travels throughout the house.

The two I have are very quiet. Get a plumber, maybe you have a air vacuum issue.

It may be "water hammer." Try this site for a solution: http://home.howstuffworks.com/home-improvement/plumbing/how-to-fix-pipes5.htm

We have no problem. I think that's a question for your plumber or whoever installed it. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

If it's a vibrating noise it may be a loose washer in one of the angle stops ( valves at wall that supplies the water to the delta)

It's noisy. It vibrated a lot. I live in an apartment and I didn't want to disturb the neighbors. Now this thing lives in my closet.

We have had this unit for 2 years and the last year it has become noisy, although we have cleaned it somewhat regularly. I think it is about to die, which might be why it only has a 1 year warranty.

When mine was first installed, my electrician said I would hear some noises (something like a popping noise) after the unit shuts off and that would be normal. I'm not sure why. I've had mine installed for over 7 months and have not had any issues with it. I don't know for sure if it no longer makes the noise, or if it stops after a time.

Well, it is louder than our dishwasher but we have a super quite one. It doesn't bother us, sound about the noise level of a humidifier, small fan heater running.

We deployed this unit out to a client so its not something that I have daily interaction with. However, I don't recall it being something that stood out to me or if I even noticed any fan noise at all. I know that isn't a great deal of useful information but wanted to get a response back to you.

It's noisy, but the sound itself it's from the air passing through the vents.... I could survive on a smaller room.... the unit could cold the environment quickly.

Depends where you mount it. Ours is in the joists in the basement so it does make more noise than if in an upper floor. Just insert some foam between the fan sides and whatever you are attaching it too. It is a fan and you will hear it.

Mine makes a noise similar to a ceiling fan. I have mine in the living room, and I guess I am used to it and I don't really notice it anymore.

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.

Mine does not have this high pitch you're talking about, just a loud hum, rather like a window air-condition unit. Since it is in my basement, it does not bother me. Maybe you have a bad unit?

The unit is about medium noisey. Naurally the faster fan makes more noise. But as usual, once it on for awhile your hearing ignores the noise.

No. Unfortunately sounds as if there's a problem. Too bad because it is a fantastic addition to our home. Have had it since January with no problems whatsoever. You should return it and I recommend you get another.

Honestly, my units smell so bad, I can hardly think of anything else. I can't say they're terribly noisy, but there's a definite sound. No rattles or buzzes developed, which is often the problem with bedroom units. If you have other options, take them though - once the smell sets in, it can't be fixed!

Are you referring to the amount of noise it makes when its running? My unit is in storage for the winter, so I cannot measure for you, but I can attest that it is no louder than the average window unit.

I assume you got the unit with the Permate pump? If so then it's not your imagination. I can actually hear mine upstairs! However it only lasts for a while until the tank is filled again. And somewhere in the instructions it says that you can cover the pump with insulating material since it's not an electrically powered device. That should help with the noise . . . hopefully.

My unit is installed in a cabinet on the back side of the kitchen wall, and I do not hear anything other than the normal noise of water running through the faucet when in use.
