Mine does not make any noise....does this mean it is not working?

yes.. if it does not beep then it is not working or it's not connect properly. I have a few of these and they DO peep but they definately DO NOT keep the gophers away. :(

You should be able to hear a noise if the unit is working. Just remember that it is not a continuous beep so you need to wait 30 to 60 seconds between the noise pulses.

Yes it surely does. You can hear the buzz quite plainly. Only 1 of the 5 I bought works. We bought more of the Sweeney battery ones. batteries last a year and they are smaller around, lower you can mow right over them. Purchased our 1st in 2009 and they are still doing the job. Good luck

That means it's not working, the high pitch sound is what scares away the Gophers.

When it does not make a noise, it certainly is NOT working. There is also a possibility that the set-up of the item is wrong or that it has become wet and needs to dry out before it will work.

Sounds like a malfunction. Mine is completely silent. I would send it back.

It does not make any sound at all. I have two of them and you cannot hear either.

must be a malfunction...the one I just got makes no noise, nor the one that came with my laptop made noise...get a replacement!

Mine does not and if it's installed properly noise should not be a concern.

Mine is very quiet. It's idle most of the time, but makes a slight noise when it activates to do a backup.

It should not be making any banging noises. As pasquale noted, it may be working but not fully seated. I would remove it and reinstall it a couple of times, and if that doesn't solve the problem, then contact the seller right away and explain the problem. Mine installed smoothly and works well and quietly.

No, not at all, sounds like you got a defective one, mine is still working GREAT!

Do all of yours make that clicking noise when it is on? It seems like it shouldn't make that sound?

That's strange, try to make some noise, it has a sensor. Mine is working as plug n play.

Ella, this is very odd. Mine does not make any noise and the temperature display does not flash so something is wrong. You might have received a faulty unit. You might want to call Amazon. I hope this helps you. I am sure this is irritating for you. Sorry, Cindy

I hear no such noise in mine, however, I always leave mine in standby mode. I suspect you have a noisy cooling fan.

Don't know--haven't had any problems or noises with mine. Call for tech support.

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.

Mine makes a noise that I was initially concerned about but after reading JcrusR2's answer I can verify that in my case, he is right (The only thing that might be loose is the plastic On Button. The inside should be solid.) Try shaking it and checking to see if the noise is coming from the power button. You can also jiggle the button lightly with your finger and produce the same sound.

It makes absolutely no noise when idle. Even when I keep my ears close to it, I don't hear anything! The only thing that indicates it is on is a blinking LED.

No I have not heard it, mine is silent, though I have yet to use it for long periods. I don't think it's normal, but if it still does what it says on the pack it's ok. If it's not broken don't fix it!
