mine is terribly noisy. Has a vibration in the lid. Can press on one side of the lid and it stops. Anyone had this problem or knows of a fix?

as far as the noise goes, i can't help you that much since mine isn't all that noisy - just a background "hum" that isn't all that objectionable.the lib vibration could be caused by not "nesting" the trays when the unit is turned on.the only other idea i have is that one (or more) of your trays is "out of round". by that i mean you have to be careful in washing them in a dishwasher. if you are washing them in a dishwasher they can't go through the full heat of the drying cycle - they'll deform or warp. i watch the dishwasher closely and catch them at the time the drying cycle begins and take them out and let them "air dry". as far as the noise goes, i can't help you that much since mine isn't all that noisy - just a background "hum" that isn't all that objectionable.the lib vibration could be caused by not "nesting" the trays when the unit is turned on.the only other idea i have is that one (or more) of your trays is "out of round". by that i mean you have to be careful in washing them in a dishwasher. if you are washing them in a dishwasher they can't go through the full heat of the drying cycle - they'll deform or warp. i watch the dishwasher closely and... » Read More as far as the noise goes, i can't help you that much since mine isn't all that noisy - just a background "hum" that isn't all that objectionable.the lib vibration could be caused by not "nesting" the trays when the unit is turned on.the only other idea i have is that one (or more) of your trays is "out of round". by that i mean you have to be careful in washing them in a dishwasher. if you are washing them in a dishwasher they can't go through the full heat of the drying cycle - they'll deform or warp. i watch the dishwasher closely and catch them at the time the drying cycle begins and take them out and let them "air dry". « Show Less

I think it depends on the actual rows have to go on a certain way or it will be lop sided

No, never had that problem. Sounds like you may need to send it back. Mines is not noisy. The fan is in the lid, but I have not noticed a real noticeable vibration and certainly it does not stop with the simple press on one side. Amazon has a very good customer service. Give them a call.

Sounds like something might be uneven. Mine is very quiet with no vibration

I'd send it back if you can--I've had mine for a while and it oscillates just fine with no noise other than WD40 I wouldn't know what to do to it.

No mine doesn't make noise like that at all. Do you add enough water it could be the ice packs hitting the plastic parts or the plastic parts on the bottom may be loose.

Mine never made that pitched noise, and I don't think it is normal. What I would do: exchanging it only. In my opinion, Cuisinart is dependable. ...But even the best one may fail some time, I guess.

The first one i bought had a loud vibration like metal vibrating in the lid. I Returned it and the second one is quiet. You are going to hear the fan running if you are in the same room but nothing annoying. I use it 2 or 3 times a week and it works great

Yeah mine does the same too after using for about 2 weeks. It's really annoying especially now when I returned to work. It's difficult for me to use because the walls not soundproof (it's a room divided in half with rock sheet) in a small medical office. I fold a small piece of paper towel in it because I noticed that milk goes up there. It kinda helps a bit. It would be quiet and then squeek and then quiet and squeek no matter what I do though. Just a matter of how long it would stay quiet. Can't figure out why.

The high pitched noise should only happen when you push the small button on the side of the handle. If you are not pushing the small button on the side of the handle and that button is not jammed in the depressed position, then you have a defective unit.

This happens with ours sometimes too. I just unscrew the lid and retighten it, seems to help.

I also have one, that I bought! Waste of money! Mine will vibrate slightly, barley enough to feel! Will not keep water hot! Better off with a bucket and hot water!

Anything that causes the pump or lid to vibrate will cause noise. To insure maximun quiet running you should look down the hole, through which the water will be pumped, when you place the motor in the pump housing, and again when you place the housing under the top of the fountain. Move the spout to the center so that everything is aligned perfectly and there will be as little vibration as possible, which is the key to quiet running. It takes a little time and effort at first, but once you get the hang of it, it is very quiet. Also, make sure that you did not partially trap one of the pump's little feet in its housing, when you snaped it together after cleaning. This has become a very quiet fountain since I have learned to align the parts, and check the pump feet after cleaning, so that it functions as it was designed to do. The rubber fitting in the lid is great if you have the spout aligned through the center, and not at a slight angle where every vibration rattles the lid against the bowl. A little practice will work wonders in keeping this fountain quiet. I was not able to align other pumps as easily because of their disign and am very pleased with this design.

Mine makes a clicking noise too. I wouldn't mind, but the clicking noise is quite loud compared to the machine running on the "Low" setting. I haven't tried this yet, but maybe it only clicks in "Auto" mode? I didn't notice it for the first few days when I had it running on High all the time.

We have not had problems. We use ours outdoors, so we may not notice noise, like you could if indoors. We have had ours for 3 years and would buy another.

Sorry, seems like you got the lemon in otherwise great appliance. I have use it everyday and have not experienced this kind of problem. I set the timer at night and wake up to the aroma of coffee wafting through my apartment. The only noise it makes is the burr of the grinder. I suggest you return your unit as defective and request an exchange. Companies are usually very good about this since they don't want to lose customers due to bad publicity.

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

Don't know because mine is not noisy. Maybe you should call the owner/manufacturer and ask. He is very helpful and nice to do business with.
