The noise is not loud, instead it is an audible hum. It does not go away and really is a great white noise. After a while you will forget it even hums.

Define "really loud." Mine makes a noticeable noise throughout its entire on-cycle, but it is slightly louder on start-up. If I had to compare the running noise, though, I'd say slightly above desktop fan and slightly below window fan. It's not "whisper-quiet," that's for sure. But, the 'white noise' effect is somewhat soothing, I find. That's just me, though. I hope this helps!

find where grill is loose and rattling and Bend (when Cool) until it works quite.

All heaters make a little noise, but if it's 2 loud maybe something is wrong with it, try the different settings on it!..

It does rattle until it heats up to temp. It's normal but, depending on how much heat you need it to produce, it can be annoying.

If it's a rattling type of noise its normal and usually goes away once it warms up

Ours makes a ton of noise too. It is very annoying and even wakes our baby up. Did you just call customer service to get a replacement?

I have the same problem with this heater also. It shuts down after just a few minutes on high and doesn't come back on until it cools down and then you have to manually turn in back on at the lower setting. I am not going to try and fix it but I will solve any future problems with this fan by not ever buying another one and I would not recommend this fan to anyone....It is very annoying!

I have not had a problem with mine but definitely call the company and explain to them what has happened. Be firm but not rude in letting them know that you are not satisfied with the performance of the heater. I am sure they will do something to rectify the problem. Good luck.

I have only had the unit one night, but the fan noise does seem a little loud. Which is unfortunate because I kept reading how quiet it is and that is one of the main reasons I bought one. Not sure if it is just my unit, or if this is just how normally loud it is for others? Also, my fan ALWAYS seems to be running, even if I am not pushing it hard at all.

same thing happen to me, I got a new part for the heater it kept doing the same thing, so I just stop using it, because it will go out at night an you will wake up cold, I think it is a bad heater.

Hi, That doesn't sound normal. I've used this kind of dryer for over twenty years and never had a problem with them. The only noise you should here is air noise and the humming of the motor. The dryer should be very quiet. Hope this helps

I have not had that problem with my heater. But it sounds like there may be a small clog in the line near the pilot light.

Mine is noisy too, a high pitch whirring sound. I wondered if mine was broken as well but it has great suction so I think it's suppose to sound like that :)

There is a sound of either the fan or the pump after you turn off the unit by hand. This is normal as the unit de- ices or continues to pump water from the tank if you have the self drain hose hooked up.

Shouldn't be that loud or, going off that frequently. You can perhaps turn the temp a little? I had one unit that made noise, but the new one is pretty quiet.

So far, my unit works well. Used it for four months. Have no idea what to do about the "noise". Running it in "thermostat" mode.

Tried mine last night for the first time, makes so much noise that I had to go back to my old unit. Will try again in a different area and see if that helps

Mine is noisier than I would expect at times, but nothing that has caused me too much alarm. I thought I heard it click a few times, but so far nothing reproducible or any overheating.

Yup! I don't know why it makes that sound, but it indicates the heating element is working. My old Shark made a similar sound. Go figure.

Its fairly loud when its first turned on if it has a big increase in room temperature to do. Once the room is up to the temperature you want, the heater fan slows down to a whisper to maintain a steady room temperature.

Have not experienced your issues. No, DO NOT attempt a repair yourself. Please seek a qualified local appliance repair shop. It is normal for metal to "Make Sounds" when heated or cooled. If these "sounds" are new, different, unsafe, or not up to your standards, also consider replacement due to cost of estimated repairs.
