This is extremely loud. Anyone else think so? Even new in box the guards are scratched up. This is supposed to be a new replacement as well.

This is my first clipper so I thought they were all this loud. It doesn't bother me a bit as I just use it at home. Mine arrived without any scratches. Maybe exchange yours?

Mine has done that as well... Just took it apart and made sure nothing was caught in the gear ... Reassembled and no more noise.... Good luck

Hi Patricia...I had the same thing happen to mine but the high pitched noise eventually occurred on all of the speeds. It was not constant...it would come and go but it was very annoying. Couldn't figure out a way to get into the unit to see what was going on. Seemed to me to be some sort of lubrication issue. In any event we really liked the air purifier so we just purchased a new one. It works great and it's one of the least expensive on the market.

Though it could be because of how we assembled it (possible loose bolts on the neck), mine is a bit loud. Loud squeaking with each step. I don't think it's heard by my neighbors, but my apartments are pretty good on sound blocking (though if they do hear something, it's probably the TV, as I turn that up a little louder to hear it over the elliptical).

With the "silencer" on its not unbearable. With it removed its LOUD AS HELL. Not even kidding. There are a decent amount of videos on youtube you can check out as well

I haven't had any problem with such noises.I still feel it's a great product, even though I have problems keeping it attached to a base because of its weight, and my swinging it around to fit my needs. Perhaps you need a new bulb. I use the standard bulb mostly because it gives off heat and warms the area around it.

The mud guards I ordered never showed up. I got an e-mail that said the guards were lost in shipment. So I can't help you I never got the guards. Where do we go from here???

Have not experienced that situation. Product has been installed for over 4 years. Have you contacted Monie, they are warranted for life. Not sure if a squeak is included in that, but never hurts to ask.

Any word from anyone as to techs being able to quiet the noise? I also have the XBR4 and the noise is ever present.

I just bought a new SONY KDL32EX523 and it has this too, except that the noise is loud enough on all backlight levels to be heard all the way down the hall! The sound absolutely would want to make me kill myself if I had to live with it every day. I'm just waiting for Amazon or Sony to get back to me otherwise this is going back.

I only got to use mine 3 times before it went in the shop but I dont recall a sound like that. I did find out my noise is from a bad hepa filter and roller brush...neither of which were replaced before I got it or are covered under the warranty. I am really wondering now what gets replaced on these "reconditioned" units. Knowing that, you may want to have it checked out. Good luck :-D

My first one had a very loud motor whine, so I exchanged it and the second was the same way! NOT relaxing. I read earlier reviews and found this to be a major complaint.

We purchased our Waste King L-8000 on Amazon. The noise is low....like a humming. Of course, you can tell it is on. I suggest contacting your contractor. It should not be "dramatically loud." If it continues; contact Waste King, they have great service and I believe no cost to you.

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!:)

I wondered the same thing, but after reading the used descriptions (and after the price of the pads I was buying went through the roof), I decided to try a "used" box that was slightly damaged. That's all it was. Someone else must have returned the box and they cut out the address label and put mine there. Worth the savings!

We've had ours for just over a year and the same thing happened -- and I can confirm, it is a fire hazard, which perhaps is why the company will send another out right away. (I'll find out tomorrow what the policy is when I call). Thanks for all the suggestions. I bought mine on Amazon and will call there too. As others have written, if the damaged one must be returned, there's no use in messing with it as it's a wash. I'll keep fingers crossed.
