The transformer makes clicking noises like an old electric blanket--is this normal?

No. I've owned two of these and they do not make noises unless you touch them while on.

I have four units and they do not make noise. It could be the surrounding area that is interfering, try moving the unit to another space that is open and not near wireless equipment.
897408
nope, mine doesn't make noticeable noise (didn't put my ear next to it though)

We've been using these lights for about one year and they have been silent. You should check your power source and see the noise is coming from your transformer.

My lights don't make any significant noise, perhaps it is the transformer you are using.

I have not wired it in yet. Ones made ban other manufacturer do make that noise when they are powering a load. That is why I purchased this version to test for that. Sorry.

Passively, if you are concerned about noise, the one I got does make lots of transformer noise under high load.

I absolutely adore my Toshiba, but this noise is driving me INSANE. Figured there was just some fur in there (I have two cats), but I'm glad to know that it's not just mine. I'm gonna try the oil thing. The tap didn't really work.

Hi Amanda, I don't believe so...a piece may be missing or it may be loose. We are using ours now for a 16 month old and we have not heard a clicking sound before...before disassembling you may want to check the manual, it may be part of the features but that sound does not seem right

Mine is definitely silent. It only buzzes/clicks when there is a power fluctuation, which is very rare. I'd suggest to check your line voltage at the outlet before condemning the unit. If that's ok, then yes, your unit may be faulty.

Hi, Haven't had ours for long enough to have any problems. However, knowing what little I know about electrical heating elements, if it's making noise that's probably not a good sign. Would take the time to send it in either for repair or replacement. These aren't complicated devices, but the potential for fire is always lurking the background. Don't want to overkill, but wouldn't take any chances... Jay Miller

Yes, there is a very light clicking sound. Not a loud one that you might here from something like the Power Tail Switch, but a gentle one.If complete quiet is important, you might want to look into the solid-state version of this relay.

I am not sure this is normal. I have not heard such sounds. I do not however use it all night. I just use it for short periods to warm up a room quickly which it does very well. Hope this was useful. K Mandal

I have the same version but with a metal chassis and noticed this whine. I'm going to look into a replacement. It makes the noise about 20 seconds after plugging in the power.

I also just bought the laptop and I am hearing this weird clicking sounds constantly!I called tech support and they said it was part of the HDD Protection Settings, so I turned it off and the noise stopped briefly but came back. I think I will have to call again because this is noisier than the 2007 laptop I had before.If it doesn't stop I will return the laptop.

Yes, and it is normal. This effect occurs when transformer windy is energized. You notice the electric efect (a sound and a quick movement) that load transformers tipically do when they are magnetized. This effects is higuer or smaller depending on the magnetic property on it when you switch the transformer on. No worry.

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.

Yes the one I bought has clicking sounds and I got the heater for the bedroom

There is a relay arm in the thermostat that makes a loud click when thermostat is switching on or off. It may be that those reporting no noise have had the thermostat housing sound-insulated.
