Is the loud buzzing sound when first cleaning normal? After reading reviews that it can overheat, I don't want to leave it on my work desk

I have not had to clean mine yet, due to the water we have (very few minerals in it), but when brewing a bussing sound is normal, but this unit is suppose to shut off in 90 or so seconds after brewing a cup of coffee. Which means the blue indicator lights that you have on the unit that blink after you brew a cup will stop flashing , and you would need to press the on button again to turn the unit on before you can brew another cup. In short, if the lights don't go off, you have a problem, and if they do, the unit would not be able to overheat because it would be off. Hope that helps. Also, if you have cleaned the unit, you likely opened up the cap that gives you access to the water filter section, I do know that if that has not been put back on correctly, the unit will be very loud, and not function properly (wife when she first used it thought that was were the water was poured into, and didn't get it back on correctly), the way the marking are for lock/unlock really do not line up correctly, so you have to make sure you secure it back on correctly.

my machine doesn't have any buzzing noise after first cleaning. i was a little hesitant to purchase due to all the reviewers stating it ran hot, but i have not experience it. it doesn't make the best coffee in my opinion, but at $60 its makes a decent cup.

I've no idea if it's normal, but I doubt it. We just hear the fan, with volume directly relative to speed it's running. Nothing electrical buzzing at all.

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!

I only got to use mine 3 times before it went in the shop but I dont recall a sound like that. I did find out my noise is from a bad hepa filter and roller brush...neither of which were replaced before I got it or are covered under the warranty. I am really wondering now what gets replaced on these "reconditioned" units. Knowing that, you may want to have it checked out. Good luck :-D

Mine makes the same buzzing sound, I have had it for about a year, however, it still works perfectly well. Just hold your finger on the on button for 2 seconds or so, or just press it again for a second to ensure that it is on.

I absolutely adore my Toshiba, but this noise is driving me INSANE. Figured there was just some fur in there (I have two cats), but I'm glad to know that it's not just mine. I'm gonna try the oil thing. The tap didn't really work.

I think it's too noisy for an open office environment. It makes a whirring sound that gets louder as you get it up to speed, and it makes clicking sounds as it slips into and out of smooth rotation.

My cooktop makes a buzzing noise when in use (oven does not). It bothered me at first, but I quickly got used to it.

Sounds like it's defective. I would contact the company. Mine works pretty well, tho I haven't used one in this price range before. The attachment of the brush to the motor sometimes vibrates loose while in use. I bought a couple of extra brushes so hope the unit lasts a while. The included travel brush is less robust, but performance is ok.

For the first day or so, my pump (The electrical fountain pump) made very loud, irratating, buzzing noises. Those noises went away. I have now been useing the tank for several months now. However, the vibrations of the pump/filter cause the desk that the tank is on to vibrate. I imagine this is very stressful for my Betta. I am working on coming up with a better set-up for my Betta. I had just got this tank as a starter tank for him any way. The identical tank they sell at Walmart, but has the Tetra Whisper 3i filter powered by the external mini air pump may not cause this problem. If you are concerned, you could buy one of those air pump powered filters at PetSmart. For the first day or so, my pump (The electrical fountain pump) made very loud, irratating, buzzing noises.

There is a significant 60 cycle hum since it is a hefty motor. I wouldn't call it annoying though. If you are chopping something like ice then it will be noisy. Unavoidable in my opinion.

I have several of the units and there is not a buzz noise only a hmmmm like a fan. I think something must be lose in your unit. I can put mine on silent and I don't hear it at all...try that....if its still buzzing then something is wrong. They are great units.

i have the same "buzzing" sound coming from the vent on the left rear side. not sure if its normal but im going to set up service call to confirm. *update* ive been tweaking the settings and the buzzing seems to go way down if you put the contrast on about 50%, thus throwing the picture quality off. ive decided im going to send this tv back and replace it with the samsung lcd.

Nonono, I just clean it like once every 2nd month or something in the cleaning station. I clean it once per month just by adding soap to it and let it buzz for 30 seconds :)

A constant low hum. I tune it out almost immediately. I've never had any office neighbors comment or complain on the noise. It's probably slightly louder than the occasional grinding noise my water heater/cooler makes.

It's an electrical buzz, keep as far away from electrical things, I know this doesn't help when you are WAH call center and need to be by the laptop or desktop. At our old place I had the phone co out about six times and finally a supervisor figured it out.

The only sounds you'll ever hear is a low click/ping when it comes back on or turns back off after it reaches the temperature you've set. And when it drops below the set temperature. But it's very low you'll hardly noticed it... Some people have said they've heard that sound besides then, but I haven't heard that. Only the two times I mentioned above. Trust me, you will not be disappointed with your purchase. For how fast it'll heat up the space, and of course how long you'll have it. I've had mine for 7 or 8 years, and it's still performs like day one. Hopefully this helps you determine to buy it. I'm not gonna say not buy, because you really should. I'm just saying...
