It says "ultra quiet", is it really??? The wine fridge I have now puts off a constant humming sound that drives me crazy!

It huma, yes, but very quiet. Mine is in my bedroom so the light output is more annoying; hum is quite minimal.

Yes, mine doesn't make a sound at all. I have it sitting in my dining room on a wood floor.

It is very quiet, it is not silent. When I'm in the room with it I can hear it humming a little - comforting hum, reminds me I have a cooler full of chilled wine.

I consider it very quiet, but there is a faint humming sound. I don't think you can get one that is silent.

I don't find it noisy at all. Can you hear it? Yes but it's like the refrigerator running, a quiet hum in the background. Most days I don't even notice it. You may want to put it in place with water but not running for a couple of days just so the cats/dogs get used to it. After that plug it in and you're good to go. When I unplug it to refill the reservoir the cats usually run up to waiting for me to plug it back in. No worries!

We have had no issues with noise. Our unit has been great -- keeps my white wines at 38 degrees consistently. So we are completely happy with ours.

You may want to contact the manufacturer and ask what they suggest. It is worth it as I find it a GREAT wine cooler and have enjoyed it. Perhaps it was defective or damaged during shipment as well. I would exchange it out if the suggested solutions above do not work.

The Whynter undercounter wine refrigerator is very tight for putting in anything but Bordeaux style bottles. It also is rather noisy when it runs (it clicks on and off every 5 minutes. Fortunately, it is located in my basement.

Hi, It really depends if the noise bothers you or not. In terms of mini fridges it is on the noisy side, however it never actually bothered me and it's in my bedroom. A friend of mine complained once when sleeping right next to it so I muffled it by putting an unused bedsheet in between the fridge and the wall. So bottom line, it makes noise when running its cycles every so often, but it's by far not unbearable and it can be muffled

Mine isn't noisy at all. And mine works awesome and is well worth the price. Just bought mine used do I didn't spend the money a new one would be. Maybe it's clogged ?

It's not all that loud, but the fan does go on and off frequently. It keeps the temperature exactly where you set it. On another subject, though, the shelves while beautifully made are way to tight for many bottle types. I can't recommend this unit for that reason.

When the system has a bottle in it that it's preserving, it does run continuously. Luckily we sleep on the second floor but if you were close by, it's annoying. Its white noise. I prefer silence.

I think something is not right if it is 'extremely' loud. Mine was not silent but it was like a low hum.

There is gentle hum- it's a slight motor sound mixed with a water evaporating sound- it's almost a whisper like the name lol. It's not bothersome to me. But it's not 100% silent.

Mine is a different sounding fridge, but not really louder, I believe it is mostly fan noise not compressor noise. But ... make sure that you have at least 2" of air gap in the back. It is such a big unit it is tempting to push it back as far as you can. The better air flow you have over the back the less sound you hear.

very loud? well, mine is not silent, however it does hum a little (nothing louder than, lets say a refrigerator hum). besides the noise is it pumping water?

The noise isn't that bad actually. I usually have a problem with noise but I have been happy with my wine cooler.

I would say that the unit is fairly quiet. If anything, my fridge is louder than the RO unit. The only time you hear any noise is when the tank refills. Even then, it's just an occasional sound or two of the excess water draining down your pipes.

Yes Amy, the unit makes a low humming sound with a slight vibration when in use. Make sure you use a little bit of liquid soap or jewelry cleaner in with the water.

This is the second one I've had. Both were extremely quiet. If I stick my head under the sink I can hear a slight hum. Sounds like it might have a problem.
