Can you turn off the oscillating feature? I read it makes a clicking noise when it switches directions, which will drive me crazy trying to sleep.

Yes, you can keep in one direction and not use the oscillating feature. We have ours for almost three years now and its not noisy. Hope that helps

For what it's worth, mine is different. I have to hold both the Menu and Play/Pause buttons simultaneously to turn off the blinking light. Holding just the menu button backs out of the menu(s), turns off music, and forces it into clock mode.

Yes, there is a little bit of a "click" sound when you manually turn it off and on, but nothing that should wake your baby up! I was able to edit my review to include a video where I turned it on and off a few times.

Hi Wally, This clicking noise is not a problem or a fault, I have had two of these digital angle finders, [first one was stolen] and they both did it from time to time. A close friend found the same with his. After you have changed the batteries if it starts clicking, try turning it off for a few seconds and then on again, this may help. But to tell the truth I never worried about it as it never affected the accuracy of the level and it generally stopped clicking after about 10 seconds.Hope this helps.Merv

It is noisy. I have to turn it as low as I can to sleep but I still love it. It works well.

For small increment movements (like a few degrees), the sound is like "zip, zip" - kind of like what a robot sounds like. When it starts up or if there is like a large degree rotation movement, you'll definitely hear it if you're in a small room and there is no sound. It does sound like a robot's gears moving, but it's not loud. I've never heard any click noises before. But if it sounds like it's an abnormal grinding sound, the gears are probably worn or broken. It should be smooth sounding like a typical robot movement sound.

If you're using the mouse in the same room as a light sleeper, the clicks may disturb him/her. They're not particularly loud -- I'd rate the click noise as a bit below average for mice.

I wonder if people are not using it correctly. The "Sleep therapy" mode is meant to change to white noise after time. You can put it on the sound mode without it turning to white noise if that is what you prefer. Read the directions people! I have not had any issues with the volume randomly reducing and really almost didn't buy this given the bad reviews. I love this machine and so does my husband. Try it before you decide it needs improvements!!!!

Yes it has oscillating. Stream force control, spray position (forward-back). Options are on handheld remote.

the top main clickers make sound... the side buttons do as well but very minimal. almost to the point of no hearing.and the scroll button once pushed inward does make a click

No I am unable to turn the sound off as it is a ticking timer. It's the mechanism itself that makes the noise.

The noise is noticeable in a quiet environment. To me it allows me to know that the touch sensor on the button is working. I think that is a control that could turn that off. Here is a link to more details of that mouse. http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/help/support/how-to/mouse/use-sculpt-touch-mouse

No, I don't know how to turn it off. It's the only annoying thing about the machine. I LOVE it! But the loud beeping is annoying. I have owned the machine over a month, I ignore it now.

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 not make that sound

It's silent if you turn it on without movement. If you let it oscillate, you might hear it move, but it's still nearly silent even then. I'm not sure I hear it even when oscillating.

The "click" is not artificial and as a result it cannot be turned off. However, it also isnt noisy, either

I had the same issue and the solution I used was to leave the fan on all night... It is not very energy efficient but it works for me... you can schedule the fan independently from the A/C and this allows you to avoid the clicking sound during your "sleep" schedule
