Whenever the TARDIS is placed in the right area for it to levitate, the top arm of the base makes a high pitched squealing sound can this be stopped?

I have never heard any noise from my TARDIS and/or base. You may have a defective unit. I would contact the company.

I've noticed that as well. But I only notice it when the batteries are getting low.

It's noisy. high pitch sound, but not unbearable. It's noticeable for sure, so try to place it far away from where you'll be sitting.

I have exactly the same problem. It is very loud and annoying to others in the room. I thought maybe slipping a piece of plastic cut from an old milk bottle between the seat and the rail might help but haven''t tried it yet.

I found it to be more of a hassle to return it. It's like once you get it to "levitate" you don't dare touch it or it falls down. My son didn't care bc he loves dr. Who so we still have it. I'd send it back if there wasn't a third party involved. Sorry and good luck

No it does not flash. Not sure what a tardis sound is but looked it up on google and no it does not play that nor is there the ability to put your own chime in.

It's Matt Smith's TARDIS. We have taken it down a couple of times to redecorate and put it back up with no problems. Hope that helps.

No, You have to move the slide to the off position & then put it bact to the high or low position. It blares for about 30 second & the you have to reset it. Hope this info helps.

No, it may be that the arm that hangs out to the right is not in or out all the way. It's used to raise and lower the seat height, but if you move it right and left it locks and unlocks the ability to lean back in the chair. I've got mine locked a lot of the time, but sometimes it pops itself out and I slip back into a leaning position. When that happens, it makes that sound. Otherwise, the only sound I hear is of the leatherlike creaking.

It has the same general feel as a Fat Head, so I believe it would re-stick (though not indefinitely). The main problem would be, it goes up as one piece from the original application sheet and would need to be removed and reapplied 1 letter at a time which would be incredibly time consuming and possibly render the Tardis shape unidentifiable.

No. I have this unit in another room and can hear the unit when on max high. Also one of the loofers was not working properly, so I have to adjust it by hand. It is caused by the molded plastic getting caught when the top looters tries to open when I turn it on.

I can't help with the high pitched sound, but I found the originally installed hose was twisted around itself (like a helix). Make sure you screw in the very end and not the hose. If you turn the hose it will twist on itself and this could stop most of the spring from extending and pulling back the head. Hope that helps.

Its really not that loud. It makes some noise yes but i doubt they would hear it in the other room. You could also try turning the force feedback down to reduce the noise.

Yes. It only makes two sounds but I've heard them in the show. One is a scanning sound and the other is just normal screwdriver sound. No hidden sound effects though. I love it. It's pretty cool. I hope this was helpful.

I have no idea why yours makes a horrible sound - suggest you send it back for a replacement. It might be the sound of the tail twisting around, that is audible. But the howling laughter overrides that "mechanical" sound. I have 3 - they all sound the same - infectious hysterical laughter.

it does make a rather high pitched buzzing sound. that is actually the "ultra sonic" cleaning. make sure that you push the start button.

Kind of a mute point. I love the table, but I don't use the lift top feature. It is unsteady and unreliable in this regard. I just keep the table as a flat surface. Have even planned to bolt the lift part from underneath to keep fingers from getting squished. The table is beautiful, though, and I am glad to have it.

yes it makes a noise. it is subtle but it does make a high pitched squeal that you can hear if you listening for it.
