Can anyone give feedback on how quiet this thermostat is when it cycles the heat on and off? My current thermostat makes noticeable clicking noises.

I installed 3 in my 600 sq ft condo and I don't hear any clicking noises from the thermostats at all. Occasionally, I will hear noise from the baseboard heaters.

The thermostat uses an electronic switch (not a relay) so there's no sound. Unlike a normal thermostat that turns the heater on and off, which causes the heater to make noise as it heats up and cools down, this thermostat applies partial power (0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% or 100% power). As a result, you don't hear the heater making noise. It stays warm to one degree or another as needed. That's why it works with baseboard heaters but not with wall heaters that use a fan. The fan can't operate at partial power levels such as 20% power. I think it's a superior thermostat for baseboard heat.

The only clicking noises I hear are from the baseboard heaters themselves. This thermostat has a variable rate function which means the heaters are not on full-bore all the time. The thermo ramps down the amount of heat as the temp gets close to your desired temp and ramps up as the temp drops. This is supposed to use less power than if it were all or nothing, on or off.

Umm. I had it in my dorm room. It operates silently but makes a click noise when it starts after being switched off by the thermostat.

The one I purchased and installed is relatively quiet. I don't notice any noise. I'm happy with the purchase.

There is a relay arm in the thermostat that makes a loud click when thermostat is switching on or off. It may be that those reporting no noise have had the thermostat housing sound-insulated.

The only noise I hear is when you turn it on. Sometimes you will hear it interchange and sometimes you don't. If it has set off for a while it will make a loud click and hum but it goes away in a couple seconds. Other than that it does not make any sound that is noticeable.

You should not hear any clicking. This unit is rather quiet.Interestingly enough the first one I bought started making a loud Vibrating noise. I had to have it replaced. My new one did it again (once so far). I'm concerned that the quality of this model is not up to what I expect from Corsair.

I don't mind the noise, so I don't know if my answer will help you or not. Our A/C is installed in the master bedroom(we have a two bedroom model) and it is pretty quiet until we turn the temp down for the night. We like to sleep with it cooler. Hope that helps.

It's pretty quiet but on the flooring I have it on and at a certain fan speed there is a slight buzzing going on. If you need dead silence I'd suggest an oil-filled radiator. They essentially make no noise except perhaps a slight clicking when they cycle on or off.

It could be the automatic thermostat cycling on and off. This unit is not designed for continuous heat output.

Yes very quietly ... A little click when it shuts off. You can't hear any noise when it's running .

Yes, there is a very light clicking sound. Not a loud one that you might here from something like the Power Tail Switch, but a gentle one. If complete quiet is important, you might want to look into the solid-state version of this relay.

Not very noticeable. I was pleased. Much quieter than other heaters. Don't hesitate buying this unit. Great price, nice looking, nice to have a remote control with it.

Mine is always on with no load as well but also pretty quiet. It will ramp up a lot under load. I don't find the no-load noise too much but under load it can be pretty loud.

It's really not loud at all. We thought we had a bad thermostat when we originally installed this, but it was our furnace, and not the thermostat that was defective. This has worked well for us since we got our furnace repaired last year. What you will hear is a soft click. I can hear it a few feet away, but our thermostat is outside our bedroom door and it doesn't wake me at night.

there is no noise - just let it warm up - heat will come up in a nice loe flow

It starts out quiet but you can definitely hear it once it gets hot. But then I stop noticing until it shuts off. It's actually my second one and the first one was louder.

The Robertshaw thermostat I have is digital, and is very quiet. In fact, the only sound I hear is the fan in my electric furnace turning on and off. Hope you enjoy yours.
