Mine is literally behind my couch and I never noticed a humming noise. I read, listen to music and watch TV in that spot.

I've never noticed mine to make any noise at all. When I checked again just now, I put my ear right up to the camera and could barely hear a little hum.

I think something is not right if it is 'extremely' loud. Mine was not silent but it was like a low hum.

It has a slight hum, but not noticeably loud. I've had it for about 6 months, and there's nothing I would complain about it

Not normal! No motor noise, maybe just a hum. Unless the motor is not stationed firmly and is maybe vibrating, I would return. Mine is so quiet, I sometimes forget it is there until I here running water!

Yes Amy, the unit makes a low humming sound with a slight vibration when in use. Make sure you use a little bit of liquid soap or jewelry cleaner in with the water.

Mine makes a noise that I was initially concerned about but after reading JcrusR2's answer I can verify that in my case, he is right (The only thing that might be loose is the plastic On Button. The inside should be solid.) Try shaking it and checking to see if the noise is coming from the power button. You can also jiggle the button lightly with your finger and produce the same sound.

My unit does not make a loud buzzing sound but does have a slight humming sound from fan operating similar to a computer. Call tech support, they are awesome

Mine did that too from day one. The box it came in was damaged and I assume that is what caused the weird noises. It wasn't worth the time and money to ship it back so I just used it until it started giving me uneven heat. Then I junked it.

This is not normal, no. Something not attached correctly. Mine is high all the time and it's whisper quiet.

Sounds like a malfunction. Mine is completely silent. I would send it back.

May have a bad one, I installed my unit in the attic above the bathroom, but still here it humming when everything is quiet. Not too loud.

That sound you are hearing is likely the in-body stabilization when you half-press the button. It is perfectly normal (if this is the use case scenario). If it just has this hum while not touching anything, sounds like you may have an issue.

I didn't notice any unusual Buzz when I first powered up the unit in my shop. My opinion is is the noise level is normal....

Could be a defective unit. Mine will sometimes make a very slight hum (ear right next to the unit) but even when I'm lying in bed sleeping other than the reassuring click that it turned on, I can't hear the hum. I also am only drawing... ~11A on the heaviest circuit, if you're pulling more than that it could explain a louder noise

There is gentle hum- it's a slight motor sound mixed with a water evaporating sound- it's almost a whisper like the name lol. It's not bothersome to me. But it's not 100% silent.
