Mine does not make a slupry or grinding sound. It has a low hum when the freeze cycle kicks in- but it isn't loud at all. No dents in mine... Very happy with the product

It makes an audible grinding sound, but it isn't very loud. Certainly not the loud WHIRRRRR of an electric grinder. I use mine in a low-wall cubicle farm and have no complaints from my coworkers (I've asked). I'm really happy with it.

It does run periodically and make some noise. It is on par with the fridge in terms of loudness, I think. I was, and maybe still am a bit, bothered by the noise and thought about putting it in a different room (it is in the kitchen). So, actually, the noise is the one thing I have NOT liked about it, but I am not sure if it is enough noise to bother YOU. My husband is NOT bothered by the noise. That answer might be very unhelpful, sorry.

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".

Hate to say sounds like something wrong. I get the idea. Mine isn't that loud, but there is like an air noise, but doesn't seem to be a bad noise. Or hum, like some I've heard. Mine is more just the "perk" noise.Did you buy it from here. How often used? I'd contact Hamilton beach and ask. Since Amazon is merely the holder, Beach should know more the personality of unit.

Yeah. That's the little fan inside. That's part of the convection ovens, but It should not be loud. If is too loud, maybe it fell down during shipping.

We have actually experienced the same issue with the banging sound. It isn't consistent from use to use or even within one session. It doesn't appear to alter the performance, but it is certainly annoying. It isn't clear what the cause is so I'm hoping it isn't causing internal damage to the machine.

Sorry but that does not sound normal. Ive had mine for a while now and it hasnt made one noice yet. Check your warranty, might be a problem in the upcomming future.

Chances are you installed it properly. What I thought too was going to be a quiet disposal was rather noisy. But is there really such thing as a quiet food grinder?

Yes- It's probably normal not a defect. I've had similar appliances in the past and they all make a hum.

it doesn't sound normal. honestly I didn't have a great experience with this machine. I just threw it away :(

Mine is still working just fine, with light to medium use throughout the week. When the ice maker starts it makes a soft motor sound, which is caused by its pump, and once the ice tray is filled this noise stops. Sometimes, you can also hear a louder sound, made by a cooling fan. This unit is not the most silent on the planet but mine still works. Hope this helps.

It started out very quiet and has gradually gotten a little louder, but it is still fairly quiet. It is about as loud as my refrigerator for comparison.

Mine has a soft rattling sound when I shake it firmly (I just checked)--and it's brand new, working perfectly.

I don't remember it being loud, just a little motorized noise. You should return it and have it replaced if it's loud! Good luck!:)
