I have this waterpik and it vibrates and makes a terrible loud noise. Does anyone have this problem?

I have 2 units. One I bought about 20 yrs ago, the other in the past 6 months or so. Both vibrate (oscillate), Neither make a terrible loud noise. The older one is a little more quiet then the newer. Both are not annoying, but do make 'drumming' hum. I do not leave them plugged in, I empty the tank each time and dry it out. I also put a capful of mouthwash into it each time I use it. The new unit is equal to the old one, except maybe for build quality....it could be a perception thing. so far so good.

Mine makes noise but it is not super loud. Have you tried moving it around to see if you can reduce the vibration?

I have not had this problem. Is your Water Pik old? I just replaced mine with the new model. It is much better than the old one. Lighter and quieter.

Yes, mine is brand new, and I can't deal with the rattling racket, so I'm considering returning it and going back to the good-old floss. Besides, the waterpik use left food particles between my teeth, which the after-flossing captured.

Mine is also TERRIBLY loud. It seriously sounds like a generator is going off in my bathroom. Is this a defective unit or a user error?

Mine does that, too. I asked my dentist, who recommended the WaterPik to me, and was told that this noise is normal. It is a little bit better if you turn it so that the water tube doesn't rattle against the housing while it operates.

I did not shake mine so I cant tell if it makes noise. Previous answer sounds right. If in doubt, call the factory. I am very pleased with the filter. You might want to buy a brass fitting for the water connnection. I dont like the plastic connector. I had a brass fitting from my old filter that worked perfectly.

Not so fast people. *Most* of the time this unit is pretty quiet, only producing a very low steady hum. However, it *can* get annoyingly loud (3-4 times its normal volume) where it's sort of vibrating the plastic pieces of itself together. Topping off the water level sometimes helps a little, but most of the time it makes no difference. (It does the same thing right after a fresh cleaning too, so it's not an issue with debris.) When this happens, you can tap it / nudge it / smack it and the vibrating noise will cease - USUALLY. But sometimes it won't. There have been times where I wanted to smash it to bits with a hammer to make the noise stop. The only thing I've found that you can do to quiet it down is to completely open it up like you're cleaning it and pop the pump assembly loose and reseat it. It helps to barely press the pump down onto its suction cups, which is now what I do when I clean it. Before, I used to press the pump down firmly, which seemed logical but only increases the chance the unit will vibrate loudly. It seems like they ought to have put rubber seals between the plastic pieces where they meet or at least on the little studs the pump sits between or something, although I'm sure that would've increased the cost. Oh, I have the unit sitting on a thick, soft, rubber mat too. It's not sitting directly on a hard surface that would exacerbate any vibration noise.

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

I had this same problem. I have two of these humidifier and had them for two years. Both of them started make a grinding sort of noise after two years. I researched online and was ready to buy a new one, but wanted to know if there was any way of fixing it. The answer is yes!!! Check out this video and this could solve the loud noise your humidifier is making: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjRDjOL8nCY. I followed the video and it fixed the noise problem and humidifier works great and quiet!!! Very grateful for this video!

Don't really know, but water level may be low, or maybe gunk got into mechanism. Suggest you wash out and refill it. Make sure water is all the way up to the top. The noise should disappear.

I have crowns and I have not had any problem with the Waterpik water flosser. I like it very well and the only disadvantage is that it is noisy.

Sounds like it's defective. I would contact the company. Mine works pretty well, tho I haven't used one in this price range before. The attachment of the brush to the motor sometimes vibrates loose while in use. I bought a couple of extra brushes so hope the unit lasts a while. The included travel brush is less robust, but performance is ok.

Don't go above the water lip or it won't filter & clean properly. If it get noisier, it may require more water or adjusting/cleaning the filter.

Mine did that too from day one. The box it came in was damaged and I assume that is what caused the weird noises. It wasn't worth the time and money to ship it back so I just used it until it started giving me uneven heat. Then I junked it.

Not sure I haven't had that problem. The one time it leaked at the top I realized the little rubber stop had come out. Thank goodness the little rubber piece was sitting on my desk. I put it back in and no problems since. I'm so sorry you are having issues ... I love mine. Maybe try taking a soft 'old' toothbrush and make sure all the screw together parts are clean.

It just turns off. Before that happens your teeth may have been damaged. � Too much vibration on such a small brush head

Yes i do have.. But i got rid of that by pouring some lubricant to the place it squeaks. It was good for like 2 weeks but now again i hear the squeak sound.

Nope, what we hear is the water filling and the flap rising but it isnt loud, screeching, or scraping. You may need to exchange your unit. There may be a defect with that particular one. Good Luck!

I used it with a new WaterPik. The only issue I had was that the taper of the hose collar didn't match the taper of the bracket. This slight miss match caused the wand to wobble in the holder. I used a Dremmel with a sanding drum to take just a very little bit of material from the lower edge of the wand holder. That solved the wobble problem and allowed the wand handle to drop down to where the bracket had a full grip on the wand handle. I don't blame the bracket. It's hard to be a one size fits all. I like the bracket because it has a solid feel to it when mounted properly.

IT DID NOT WORK FOR ME. IT broke a couple of times when trying to install it.No more waterpiks for me.

I just got a B40 for Xmas. The "slight vibration" as Keurig calls it, when it starts up in the morning and in between cups is very loud to say the least. It sounds like one of those air tools used at the tire store. I live in an apartment and the manager left me a noise warning under the door today, telling me several of my neighbors have complained about the loud noise at 6:30AM. If I receive two more warnings, I can be evicted with out notice. So it looks like my Keurig is going back. :( I really wish Keurig would offer a solution.
