All the reviews stated how quiet this was. Mine makes a gurgling sound intermittently through the night. Does anyone else have that noise?

I have only experienced "gurgling" sounds immediately after filling the reservoir, not during operation.

Yes. The gurgling sound is intermittent. A close read of the instructionswill describe it. You'll get it a bit more often just after you fill it. Even though we are light sleepers we quickly became accustomed to it.

Yes! Mine also makes the gurgling noise. From my experience, all ultrasonic humidifiers of this size or larger make a gurgling sound. This is due to the gravity fed reservoir gulping air to displace the water being used.

Our Air-O-Swiss humidifier is very quiet thru the night - no gurgling sound.The gurgling sound you hear is from the water replenishing itself in the container.Try filling your container in full before you go to sleep and your noises maycome to an end.

NO the noise is extremely minimal.NOW-after less than a year of which it was used only 3.5 months it started to have a gas smell from within.Energy Co. CKed it and said it was a manufacturing defect.Company would not replace except with a reconditioned one which I had to pay postage on!!It also had the same problem!!!GAVE IT AWAY for scrap!SORRY,BUT,NEVER WILL I RECCOMMEND THIS COMPANY OR ITS PRODUCTS.

Have you tried filling it over the max level? Mine always made some noise, but as long as it was full it was more quiet. I'm sure that you already tried cleaning it and everything else that I would think of... Good luck!

Haven't had any problems with ours,,, right in our bedroom, very quiet. You might try checking to make sure it is installed securely, and not rattling on the window frame. Also check to be sure no packing material has fallen into where the fan is located.

I hear no such noise in mine, however, I always leave mine in standby mode. I suspect you have a noisy cooling fan.

Mine is extremely quiet! I did go into the settings (via the browser) and set it on quite mode to achieve this level of quietness.

Oh! It sounds like there's something seriously wrong with it. I use both of mine 24/7 and none of them have ever made the slightest sound.

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.

I wouldn't say mine gurgles constantly, just occasionally, but I rarely run it on high. When it is on high, it is going to use more water, and sound comes from the valve releasing more water.

The two I have are very quiet. Get a plumber, maybe you have a air vacuum issue.

I am not sure this is normal. I have not heard such sounds. I do not however use it all night. I just use it for short periods to warm up a room quickly which it does very well. Hope this was useful. K Mandal

No I have not heard it, mine is silent, though I have yet to use it for long periods. I don't think it's normal, but if it still does what it says on the pack it's ok. If it's not broken don't fix it!

This is the second one I've had. Both were extremely quiet. If I stick my head under the sink I can hear a slight hum. Sounds like it might have a problem.

Mine barely makes a sound unless its been running all day, and its really hot in my house. But even then. Its no louder than the little fan can be.

I've used several different brands and they all seem to bubble/gurgle. I'm using this one now as I write and there is some definite noises present. So I imagine this is normal sounds.
