Anyone hear loud thumping or ticks while its going?

Mine does make a slight ticking noise. I assume it's related to the gears that move it around. It doesn't bother me, and the baby is still completely enamored with it, so I've never really noted it. We don't get thumping though. Could the straps holding it to the crib need to be tightened more?

No, not at all. I've been using our mobile every night for about 6 months and no complaints.

Thank you! That was definitely part of my problem. One last question: when opening, I hear a pleasant ratcheting sound, which I don't hear when closing. Does yours also not make that sound in one direction?

It's pretty loud. I have thin walls and I always have my tv or radio on when my roommate is home. She has never said anything about the sound, but I still like to be careful.

Don't think so. We just made sure we placed it in the center of our house out of site so we could hear it. Sometimes it sounds louder than other times. Haven't figured out why yet.

no its actually a pretty loud click. my wife has asked a few times, "what's that noise?" We've gotten used to it.

Mine rattles. I have been trying to troubleshoot but can't quite figure where it is coming from.

Did you turn up the volume. That seemed to also affect the vibration and shock.

I've had mine for about 5 months now, it didn't thump at turn-on but the voltage would jump all over the place. I've been in it twice now to fix the terminals which were very loose and than had to secure the voltage adjust just to keep the voltage adjusted properly. But sorry no thumping noise, you may have to go inside and secure everything....

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.

Yes, I hear ticking from time to time. The light it really low, I can only use it with my boys at night. Even then the light does not always work.

I just shook mine and there was no rattle. Sorry but I suspect something is amis with yours.

Mine makes the same sounds, I am interested to know if more people have this issue....

They make a subtle, low-toned thumping noise. I don't really notice it unless I listen for it, but it's audible. It's never bothered me, but if I'm running the dryer when I head to bed I do shut the door and that's enough to block it out.

Many of these 'nrtbooks' make that sound. Some are just louder than others. For me, that sound does not bother me as much as fan noise. That will make it or break it for me. But I know the 'ticking' on and off can get annoying too.

hi, I turned it up as much as could( I live in an apartment complex). I did not notice any disturbances. unfortunately I cannot tell what decibels it was.

Mine isn't loud. I would not consider it normal. Contact the seller for an RMA.

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.
