"grinding" noise from music box?

I've never heard any grinding noise from the music box. My family owns several San Francisco music boxes and I've never heard any of them make a grinding noise. Now, much cheaper music boxes we have make grinding noises but never one from this company.

This was a Christmas present for my daughter in college, so I had to wait until she came home again to ask her. She said is does make a slight grinding noise, but she still loves it.

Mine does not sounds like something is off. I'd try cleaning both sets of tension discs and rethreading

I don't have many hours on my instrument yet, but so far, there is no buzzing sound like that, so I am guessing it may be a defect. I would suggest contacting the seller, as it could get worse later. I hope that helps.

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

mine makes noise too, many HDD's do make noise, especially at the higher speeds.

It's probably not the box, perhaps your headphones? I own one of these and I get an awesome EQ mix between my vocals, organ, and Fantom G8 sources. Check into a new headset and see if it solves the problem! I'd recommend a headset used for monitoring (Shure, Audio Technica, Sennheiser), they work best! Hope this helps.

Also, Jeff: Even after all the electrical questions are answered, this still makes a low level hum which might be annoying. Having tightened all the external screws on mine, the hum was far less but could still be heard during the silence between musical tracks or even with very quiet passages.

We have actually experienced the same issue with the banging sound. It isn't consistent from use to use or even within one session. It doesn't appear to alter the performance, but it is certainly annoying. It isn't clear what the cause is so I'm hoping it isn't causing internal damage to the machine.

It is very noises. I found with each motion you make it sounds like the wheel is rubbing against something. You can't watch tv while working out on it.

Yes, mine does this too. I just paid attention to the start up noises. There are two "clicks" followed by one "click". They are the same noises as when the DVD tray is closed.

That doesn't sound good, it sounds like a part is loose in the motor, I would personally return it. I bought 2 and they hummed and purred, there was no grinding noise at all. Hope this helps.

make sure that the metal arm that moves the conveyor up and down is properly seated on both sides of the conveyor. Mine was out of alignment and clicked at first. Once is popped in, the clicking went away and you only hear the dull grinding noise.

Sorry to be so long, but while the problem seemed to clear up, it suddenly developed the hum again. I have a Technics receiver with a phono output, so I have the turntable set to Phone Off. This worked until today, when it suddenly developed a hum, and when I tried to reconnect the wires the white wire produced a pronounced hum and the red wire produced an explosive pop. I played it this afternoon without incident, and have played it for hundreds of hours since last summer, but today the hum came back with a vengeance.

I had the same issue. The original power cord created a bug, so I used a power cable that came with one of my effects pedals and it worked. No noise at all

A very slight ticking/grinding noise, barely audible. Winding it up there is a fairly loud grinding noise but not when it is in use.

Is it the level indicator? (The rolling ball thingy) That might make a noise.
