Purchased this faucet for an install in a guest bath. It looks great, but boy is it LOUD. You can hear it from a floor away. This happen for others?

Yes it is loud didn't really think that much about it until I read this! I guess I viewed it as good pressure!

No, I don't have that problem. My water pressure is very good, so I doubt if water pressure is the problem. I have 2 suggestions. First, make sure their is a gasket between the fixture and the counter top. Second, I had to tighten internal parts before the fixture would not unscrew itself and come apart. So you could have something loose inside. For all accounts, I completely disassembled it and used loctite in a problem area.

We haven't experienced this issue. Ours it's nice and quiet. It may be a problem with the hook up our something.

No it is not loud. You can here it running but acceptable. I have it installed in my basement bar and love it. I only turn it on when I am having company. This unit will require a floor drain or condensate pump. Very happy with the unit. Hope this helps.

No it is quite loud. I have had mine for two years and the noise is the biggest disappointment. I don't know how it compares to other A/C units as this my first one but I have to almost double the volume of my TV to be able to hear it.

We have had our sink/faucet combination installed for about 6 months - works great. Only noise is the water splashing into the sink - sounds neat, looks cool into the deep look of the sink. Only problem was sink is not perfectly flat so need to install sticky pads exactly right to keep sink from wiggling. Does anyone hiave this problem.

I never noticed before, but I guess it is a good bit louder than some others. I am a life long construction worker and can tell you all about annoying loud noises though and this shower head is definitely not one of them.

I would say the sound level is mostly 'average' -- no beeps or buzzes, but lots of swishing and humming. However, the loudest part is actually quite loud, and lasts maybe 30 seconds. The first time I heard it, I thought something was wrong with the washer, but after talking to a technician, was assured it was normal. I think it happens at the end of the rinse cycle, when the tub is spinning very fast, and water is pouring in for the rinse, and the clothes are getting compressed against the side. Due to this, at some point the clothes are no longer covering the bottom of the washer, and the water pouring in is hitting the empty bottom of the metal tub directly. This sound of water hitting the tub is startling, and probably child-waking loud if it's near their room.

It's about as loud as a floor box fan or portable fan. You do have to talk over it if you're standing right there. But it makes your house smell great so it's a tolerable nuisance!

It is actually not loud. It is probably less than a toilet flush. It's pretty powerful also. It saved my basement from total annihilation .

this is the only unit i have ever had so it is hard for me to say. it is not loud, but you can tell it is on. the higher the setting the louder it is, but it is not annoyingly loud. sorry i could not be more helpful!

My sink has been installed for a couple of months now. I have no issues concerning sound. When I place large pots down or am doing dishes there are some thumps here and there. However, its a normal solid sound not hollow and loud. I am very happy with the look and quality of my sink so far. I believe I made a good choice selecting this sink.

The fans are the loudest thing coming from my rack. This is at home so the noise is a bit much (ignorable). I also have wood floors so the sound travels a bit. I'm actually here looking for quiet replacement fans. I can't find the size anywhere. This unit would not be too loud for a standard business server room.

To be clear, the faucet isnt noisy. You are hearing the reverse osmosis unit or the drain gargling . IF it is the drain gargling it is usually because there is a bend in the line causing a back up then when enough water gets in line it forces it through. My RO unit is a kinetico and is very silent.

We installed this faucet in our kitchen this fall and there is definitely not a problem with low volume. In fact we have to be careful not to open the lever completely or the water volume can cause splashing -- especially in the spray setting. This is in a cottage with an average of only 50 psi water pressure.

it sounds a bit like someone is on life support under the sink. It isn't too loud or annoying though- it is no worse than a fridge and doesn't operate all the time, only when it is refilling the tank. Do be aware though that IF you have the Home Master RO system you need to buy the permeate pump direct from them as this one will void the warranty.

NO! I have installed this one in my shower room and after a while it produced weird loud noise that nothing could get rid off. So I think its not a proper fan for this type of use.

I have had my tub for about 7 months now and I love love love everything about it. Great finish, extra deep, which is nice because I don't have the room in my bathroom for a wider tub. Haven't noticed that it is loud, but now I wonder if I will... Good luck!
