Hi, That doesn't sound normal. I've used this kind of dryer for over twenty years and never had a problem with them. The only noise you should here is air noise and the humming of the motor. The dryer should be very quiet. Hope this helps

Mine did not do that and still has not done that. I have had mine for a few years now and love it. It is very, very quiet. I can actually watch tv while I blow dry my dogs. Is it possible there is a piece of paper in the grid that it is whistling by? If there isn't anything, you may want to send it back and tell them to check the one they send as a replacement to make sure it doesn't do it. My friend has had one for at least 10 years and hers is still very quiet.

Yes, I send it back. I have very nice and relaxed Main Coon cats. I turned the dryer on and the high pitch noise terrified them. They are not afraid of noises, vacuums etc, this was too much. Dryer was described as 'low noise level' - this was not true....

Some times the crackling noise just means it needs to be cleaned. However, I did have a different crackling noise start on mine a little while back, and when I took it in for service, they had to replace some kind of electrical box inside the unit. It was covered under the warranty, so it didn't cost anything, but it was a fire hazard. So if cleaning the unit doesn't stop the crackling, don't wait--go ahead and take it in for service.

lThe unit will make a high pitched sound when it needs to be cleaned, but my suggestion is, while you are dusting or at least once a month take the unit and clean it too. I am delighted with this product, and when you do clean it do it with a damp paper towel, you will notice that it will be BLACK, and be sure to clean the little filter at the top too. Don't touch the black crap, it's like printer toner and is hard to get off.

Well, I think quiet is relative. It's a lot less noisy than some blow dryers I've owned, but it still makes noise...more like an air blowing "hum" than a loud gushing air sound. Hope that makes sense!

Sounds like the dryer is running. Doesn't bother me much, but isn't exactly quiet

I do hear that noise when the steamer first starts up and is warming but not the entire time I'm using it.

Mine does not have this high pitch you're talking about, just a loud hum, rather like a window air-condition unit. Since it is in my basement, it does not bother me. Maybe you have a bad unit?

I had a similar problem where my dryer wouldn't turn back on mid-drying. I too thought it was my plug but it wasn't. Once I started regularly cleaning the vent on the back of the dryer I haven't had this problem again. My guess is that mine was over heating b/c the vent wasn't clear. Try this and see if it works.

I tried my other dryer , just to see if there was a difference in noise, and there really wasn't. Both dryers are around the same price point, so maybe they are both quieter than a cheap brand. Honestly, I've never been bothered by the sound, and I don't think its high pitched. I recommend this dryer if you have curly hair. All dryers will make your hair frizzy if you don't have the right products in your hair. I use deva curl products and my hair is never frizzy as long as I use them.

I think you might have received a faulty one. Mine isn't too loud...I would say it is a little quieter than my hairdryer

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 just received this toaster from our wedding registry and YES my husband and I both hear a high pitched noise. I don't know if it is normal or not - came here to see if anyone else had the problem.

No whistling noise on mine. I'm guessing you have one that may be defective. If you used the washer that came with it, I'd try pulling that out first.

I haven't had that problem. My dryer is only 5 yrs. old and the filter catches almost all the lint. The vent doesn't have a filter in it. Sounds like the dryer is the problem.

I haven't paid much attention. My dryer is in a room we don't use very much. I usually have a full load of clothes and it's not very noticeable. But, when I'm drying a small load of delicates and the dryer isn't full it's a little noisy.

I haven't experienced this problem! I do know that the nozzle is really hot when in use. Other then that I love my dryer!

as far as the noise goes, i can't help you that much since mine isn't all that noisy - just a background "hum" that isn't all that objectionable.the lib vibration could be caused by not "nesting" the trays when the unit is turned on.the only other idea i have is that one (or more) of your trays is "out of round". by that i mean you have to be careful in washing them in a dishwasher. if you are washing them in a dishwasher they can't go through the full heat of the drying cycle - they'll deform or warp. i watch the dishwasher closely and catch them at the time the drying cycle begins and take them out and let them "air dry". as far as the noise goes, i can't help you that much since mine isn't all that noisy - just a background "hum" that isn't all that objectionable.the lib vibration could be caused by not "nesting" the trays when the unit is turned on.the only other idea i have is that one (or more) of your trays is "out of round". by that i mean you have to be careful in washing them in a dishwasher. if you are washing them in a dishwasher they can't go through the full heat of the drying cycle - they'll deform or warp. i watch the dishwasher closely and... » Read More as far as the noise goes, i can't help you that much since mine isn't all that noisy - just a background "hum" that isn't all that objectionable.the lib vibration could be caused by not "nesting" the trays when the unit is turned on.the only other idea i have is that one (or more) of your trays is "out of round". by that i mean you have to be careful in washing them in a dishwasher. if you are washing them in a dishwasher they can't go through the full heat of the drying cycle - they'll deform or warp. i watch the dishwasher closely and catch them at the time the drying cycle begins and take them out and let them "air dry". « Show Less
