All heaters make a little noise, but if it's 2 loud maybe something is wrong with it, try the different settings on it!..

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

SMILE! Mine does that also. Took me 'aback' for just a quick moment, but, then I figured out it was the oil in the heater that is heating up and getting ready to do it's job. I hope it sounds a bit like 'gurgling'?????I hope this answers your questions.

sounds like it has a problem, there should be no noise coming from unit, contact manufacturer or place of purchase.

I don't think that's normal. Mine makes no sound at all. You should contact the seller and ask for a replacement. Do not leave it plugged in. It could be a fire hazard. Be safe.

Ours makes a ton of noise too. It is very annoying and even wakes our baby up. Did you just call customer service to get a replacement?

If your problem is occurring even with the temperature low AND your tank is older, it is possible that the heating coils within the heater are deteriorating. This exposed "hot spots" that boil the water even if your temperature is low. Or...the thermostat is broken and on "high". This has finally happened to mine and I get noise and sputtering even at the lowest setting. Time for a new tank for me. Mine lasted 10 years.

No beeps or annoying clicks. Compared to my prior heater it is very quite but you can still hear it run. If you set it at a particular temperature all night it will cycle on and off so this may (?) bother him. Hope this helps.

Mr. Heater seems to keep improving these units. I just bought mine in September of this year, and it was manufactured in May of this year (2013). I bought it at a local big box store.The fan on this unit seems pretty quiet. Certainly not noisy as others have reported in the past. You will hear the fan, but is smooth sounding an not obtrusive. My guess is that they've improved the fan quality in these current units.

I had the same noise on mine and found out it was the positioning of the pump that was the problem. I had the junction box part of the pump in the 12 o clock position with the pump horizontal. I turned the pump so the that box went to the 6 o clock position and the noise stopped and never came back. It could also be air in the system. Hope this helps. Dave

When it is on the fan is running. That is the only noise to be heard, The noise will go away when the burner is turned off. I don't seem to mind the sound.

My heater is loud but I have it on a timer and start it up after I shower to dry the bathroom. I have them in all my bathrooms and they work well.

You can barely hear it running and its a great heater. As far as your husbands sensitive to noise I think it would be a perfect match. This is how I will explain the noise to you . in the past when I would be watching t.v. when the heater kicked on I would have to turn up the volume but that's not a problem with this heater. I tried 3 different heaters before I found the lasko. The first one I bought was four years ago and its still working. Just bought another one in January and am very pleased with it as well. the thermostat is great and is one of the reasons I bought mine. Don't let the size fool you. it will heat up a master bedroom no problem. Hope this helps. You can barely hear it running and its a great heater.

When mine was first installed, my electrician said I would hear some noises (something like a popping noise) after the unit shuts off and that would be normal. I'm not sure why. I've had mine installed for over 7 months and have not had any issues with it. I don't know for sure if it no longer makes the noise, or if it stops after a time.

I have two units; one for heat and one for the AC. Only the one for the AC clicks on and off. The manufacturer offered to replace it, but then said that 50% of them make that noise. Of course, the AC hasn't been on in months (I live in PA), but I actually think that either it stopped the clicking, or I got used to it and totally ignored it. I actually had two Honeywells for years that were totally quite, but they became inaccurate and shut the heat and AC on and off, and that noise was louder than the clicking. Ya can't always get what you want.

I don't notice a noise in the speakers until I turn off the tv and leave it on then it makes noise. As for overheating, I just touched the back of mine and the metal is hot but it hasn't overheated yet and it's been in since the day I wrote the post. I'm sorry if that doesn't help
