Everything secure and tight? Did you use PVC glue, and or rubber boots with clamps on unit? If all is tight, the next step before contacting the company, would be to take it off the Radon pipe, plug it in, see how it sounds, and go from there if a bearing problem.

Did you mount it to the vent pipes by using rubber couplers or glue the pipe right to the fan? Was it quiet to begin with and now is loud or did you just start it and hear it being loud?

My unit which is in my attic is whisper quiet....perhaps there is a defect in yours or the unit is not isolated properly from the pipes to which it is attached. Normally the rubber couplings provide sufficient noise isolation

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.

Hi Nancy, I am on my third fan. They seem to last me about seven or eight years. After that they get noisy or stop altogether.

Really? Mine is LOUD. You really can't talk in an ajoining room when it is running. It is far louder than the dishwasher, washer and dryer.

Mine isn't loud. I would not consider it normal. Contact the seller for an RMA.

Sorry Pat, but the answer is no. I bought this unit for the same reason and have to turn the volume way up. Good thing we have no neighbors close by.

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.

The unit itself is quite loud though. Annoying sometimes when my roomates get home and I'm upstairs trying to sleep. It wakes me up.

This sounds like a defect. My unit is very stable and in normal use has been extremely quiet. Maybe yous has been damaged during shipment?

The unit is loud with the fan and burner going. Also you have a confined space, where the outlet is pointed is of concern. Again confined space, air quality will be an issue, possibly lethal.

No that is not normal. You should not hear anything moving within the unit. You should have them exchange it.

it could either be a bad units or something that you are doing wrong. what I would suggest is contact this seller and see if they can troubleshoot the issue. the other thing is YouTube also has videos that may be able to assist you. sorry I cannot help you anymore.

I started having the same problem with mine. I think the unit needs to be returned.

I might be getting noise from having your settings too high. Try turning everything down all the way except the volume and see if it goes away

Sounds like you may need a new unit. The first one that was delivered to us got very loud at the 6 month mark. Viva Appliances was awesome and exchanged us for a new one. The new one is super quiet....night and day difference from the first one.

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.

Mine, too, made a loud pop every time I turned it on. However, it was working otherwise until it lost connection to the subwoofer and started making the clicking (or popping) noise every second or so. None of my ideas for addressing the problem worked except for returning the unit to Amazon, which I am doing.

Mine does not have this high pitch you're talking about, just a loud hum, rather like a window air-condition unit. Since it is in my basement, it does not bother me. Maybe you have a bad unit?
