Just received, but the sound is staticky and gargled, even after I replaced the batteries. Has anyone else experienced this, or did I get a bad unit?

The one we just got is pretty clear. We can understand what she is saying just fine.

The one I received did not work and had to replace the batteries. Disappointed cuz it was a gift. Seems to work OK now- since changing the batteries.

Unfortunately, sounds defective. If possible, and of course for a "good deal" for a new buy, I would try and send it out to NLT for repair, it's really worth it. Love my Sirt!

Ours did not have this problem. It sounds like a defect. See about exchanging.

It sounds like a defective unit. Mine works perfectly.... knock on wood... no issues so far and I've had it for over a yr.

It's never happened to us. Are the batteries new? I would replace those and if it doesn't help, return it. It may be defective.

I have had mine for several years, and no problems whatsoever. It sounds like yours is defective and you should see about having it exchanged.

I had the same problem with the one I ordered so I opened up the battery case to see if maybe the betteries were bad or missing. They has become badly oxidied in the case and so were obviously very old. I pried the suckers out with a screw driver, threw them away (being careful not to touch them with skin in case they were leaking any fluids), cleaned the inside with a clorox wipe, and popped some new batteries in and it has worked great ever since. Give that a try and I hope this helps!

I have not had this problem so I may not be of much help. However, did the sreen suddenly stop working? Do you get any sound? I assume you tried both the remote and the button controls on the top of the box. Do your voltages match? (Assuming you are in S. America and not Columbia, Tennessee, USA!)

Sounds defective to me. I would call the customer service number and get it replaced. Probably a bad battery and they are a lifetime battery.

I would return it. Mine worked well for about 3 days and started doing it. It hasn't worked since. It seems like a lot of people are having issues with these humidifiers.

I've used and liked this product since i purchased it about two years ago. The first time I had to replace batteries, all went well, though I had to reset the unit to get it to work. The second battery change hasn't gone so well. I can't get it to turn on, in spite of using the reset procedure. Does anyone have any suggestions of this situation?

Mine isn't silent, but isn't horrible. Sounds like an issue to bring up with manufacturer. They might replace the unit.

No, I didn't resolve it. I tried 3 different ones, and they all had the same noise. Let me know if you end up going with the same model from a different store, I'm interested to see whether this is a problem with Amazon's batch or the entire line. It's too bad everywhere else is so much more expensive than Amazon though...

It is a bad unit. I had to send mine back.I just read the answer below mine, did you put the ferrite choke on the unit on the power cord? Hello! This unit should be ready to go out of the box. That hiss or hum could be heard over spoken words too. If you can send it back.

unfortunately the same thing happened to me. The batteries were worthless. I had to throw them away. This seems to be a common problem. Amazon should probably stop selling this junk.
