Way louder than the cmw-100 we replaces is this normal?

I think it is normal. The replacement I got is a little better, but I found when you place the dish in the microwave, line it up with the roller under the glass. This seems to minimize the noise. But to make a point. when my daughter was visiting, and used it, she asked me when I would be getting my replacement....I told her THAT WAS the replacement. So I truly believe the noise will get worse in time and it`s a very bad design flaw.

So sorry. Mine is about the same as the one I replaced. I'd suggest that you contact Cuisinart's customer service, but they are a pretty pathetic bunch.

No, my unit does NOT make such a sound. I DO think it is faulty. Please return it, ASAP, but be sure you tell them why.

Yes it's loud!! More than I expected and I'm using the green blanks so sound and range still can be increase.

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!

i have one installed at 1000W@1ohm and it is incredibly loud without rattling my interior, and hits everywhere. the pressure is too much behind the ears sometimes. Adjusted the LPF filter to be lower and now I get all the vibration w none of the pressure in my head.

Well, it is louder than our dishwasher but we have a super quite one. It doesn't bother us, sound about the noise level of a humidifier, small fan heater running.

The only time the received pumps out the full amount of watts is when you have it blaring so loud that its annoying anyways. I listen to mine around 70-80% all the time and they sound great. You will be fine .

Mines not loud at all. You have to put it next to your ear to hear it. I bought it because it was supposed to be loud.

I do not feel that it is any louder than other models. We have a really small bathroom and it is not an uncomfortable noise level at all.

I heard a lot of noise as well, that is before i bought a dedicated audio interface, like an m-audio m-track, preSonus, focusrite, etc.. If you're not using one, then i'd say get that first. I have no noise now at all settings. From -30db, and i usually have my speakers set at the +6db and nothing. i'm also using the 1/4" to 1/4" plug into the balanced inputs. If you're using an audio interface, then i'd say call customer support and get it fixed.

I dont recall it getting louder when you put pressure on it. I would get it replaced. Sounds like a bad bearing to me.

Yes it is much noisier than a typical internal device. I suspect it has something to do with its compact size

I think mine makes less noise than the one it replaced, but it is certainly not silent. It's all relative, I guess.

Mine is hardly loud at at...really disappointing. Can hardly hear it on a phone call in the car.

expansion noise etc is normal but if it is too loud check for "broken welds"

Mine is about as loud as the beep from our microwave oven. The description on the Amazon page sez 90 to 105 DB,maybe you could google that for a reference.
