Hi, I wanted to know does anyone else experience a very loud noise when they turn on the faucet. I just got this installed and its very loud ?

I have no problem with mine when I turn it on however when I turn it off I hear pipes rattle which is caused by pipes not secured properly or the plumber did not put in a air absorber which is a 3''-6'' pipe above the angle stop. It a stops the water from jarring the pipes.

yes I shut down the valve little bit under the cabinet to lower the inlet pressure causing the noise and it solve the problem

When I turn on the faucet --- there is a nice tinkling of the water running into the sink (NO LOUD NOISES AT ALL)

I installed the sink/faucet. They work very well. My wife and I HAVE NOT encountered any loud noises when turning the water on - in fact our faucet runs rather quietly. Has anyone encountered the sink not fitting flat, having a slight wobble/turn? Thanks

Mine was installed by a contractor as well, but your issue sounds like a valve problem where it is not closing completely when you turn it off. There are many reasons this could happen, the valve could be bad (warped, cracked, etc.) in which case I'm not sure how you would replace it or it may just need adjusting. Have you contacted the manufacturer?

To be clear, the faucet isnt noisy. You are hearing the reverse osmosis unit or the drain gargling . IF it is the drain gargling it is usually because there is a bend in the line causing a back up then when enough water gets in line it forces it through. My RO unit is a kinetico and is very silent.

i just installed it yesterday and i do get a slight whistling noise. afe called me back and said to open up the crank case line a little more which is the cause of it, so i'll post back if that ends up resolving it. it's a shame though that customers have to do this to make an unnecessary noise go away.

Do all of yours make that clicking noise when it is on? It seems like it shouldn't make that sound?

Hi Patricia...I had the same thing happen to mine but the high pitched noise eventually occurred on all of the speeds. It was not constant...it would come and go but it was very annoying. Couldn't figure out a way to get into the unit to see what was going on. Seemed to me to be some sort of lubrication issue. In any event we really liked the air purifier so we just purchased a new one. It works great and it's one of the least expensive on the market.

That is odd. Sometimes I get a gurgling sound but that is it. Should be silent. Remember to run filtered water through it. Might want to hit up seller.

It depends on how long you've had it. It might be clogged or need a new filter. If it is new, I think there might be something wrong with it. It shouldn't be that loud.

Mine makes a medium loud click when the lights turn on or off, caused by the physical relays in these unit...that is normal. Other than that, mine is silent. I think any other noise would not be normal.

Mine is also TERRIBLY loud. It seriously sounds like a generator is going off in my bathroom. Is this a defective unit or a user error?

It was kind of funny after it was installed. My plumber/electrician (guy that installed it for me) and I were trying out RPM settings. I had it set at 1000 RPM and he asked "Is it running?" (could not hear it) and we both look over to the waterfall running and it's like "Duh!".

I have the same faucet and no issues whatsoever. Could it be a part is missing on not properly installed? Good luck!

I have seen mixed opinions about the water flow. I personally had this same issue. But I took the filter off the faucet then took unscrewed the filter out of its housing and made sure all the water was out of filter then did the reinstall steps like I was puting a new filter in. I then put the fu lter back on the faucet. Then very slowly turned the water on to slowly fill the filter with water. And behold I got my flow back I had before. I think there was a air pocket in the filter. Give it a try see what you think. i hope this helps let me know.

I have only had the unit one night, but the fan noise does seem a little loud. Which is unfortunate because I kept reading how quiet it is and that is one of the main reasons I bought one. Not sure if it is just my unit, or if this is just how normally loud it is for others? Also, my fan ALWAYS seems to be running, even if I am not pushing it hard at all.

I haven't had that problem... I believe I'd had this faucet for almost a year now and the finish is still brand new. Sorry you are having that problem. I will pay closer attention to mine now :)

Had similar problem. There is a plastic thermal limiter inside the faucet assembly - if you remove it you might enjoy better temp control. Another possibility is the plumber may not have set the hot and cold volume controls correctly

We haven't experienced this issue. Ours it's nice and quiet. It may be a problem with the hook up our something.
