Does it make a lot of rattling noise? My new unit is so noisy that I am not sure whether it's defective. Thanks.

It is loud but I wouldn't call it a rattling sound. Mine works great There is a small piston driven by a small electric motor that pumps the air. I think you are hearing the piston moving.

No .. mine doesn't rattle. It just makes the usual noise that a compressor makes. Hope this helps .. good luck!

Yeah, it's a little bit noisy, but it's done a pretty good job for me. If it's compressing air for you, I'd imagine you should be good.

Less noise than my other, cheaper brand that won't inflate a balloon. It does make some noise, but it is a smooth, constant pumping. The unit doesn't vibrate excessively or wobble around on the floor or anything. I think these small, portable units are all kind of loud while they are working.

I've had one for about four years. It's very loud but has worked fine. The pressure gauge is off by five PSIs but once you inflate the tires and check it with a better gauge, you'll know when to stop inflating by adjusting for the difference. I have to replace it now as the air hose is cracked. I would not recommend cramming the hose into the storage space.

Before I purchased this air pump I read many reviews that talked about how noisy it is. They are correct. It knocks, rarttles, and sound like a car engine running on 3 cylinders. It does, however, inflate...so that's all that really matters. Also the gauge is not at all accurate.

I don't know what "a lot of rattling noise" is. My unit does make some noise, but it is not a rattling. It is more like the sound of the piston operating. I use my unit outside so, I may not be as aware of it.

Mine does not make much noise and doesnt rattle-just not happy with output of air-my craftsman was same size with more power but they dont make it anymore

It's as noisy as any standard unit; but it does not make a metal rattling sound like those ones in some las vegas hotel rooms. It's quieter than that; but still a significant sound to be sleeping next to, as significant as, say, sleeping next to a small refrigerator; but probably not as annoying. Hope this helps.

You may want to thinnk about returning it. Mine is about a year old and is totally solid. Never heard a rattling noise.

It is no more noisy than anything else hand held. It is pretty powerful though and there are always trade offs, and that would be noise for power. If it is that bothersome try some light duty hearing protection. I think this could be an issue with most of these units.

Mine is in my semi so it'd have to rattle fairly loud for me to notice. In general it doesn't and seems ok. The only negative I've seen is you lose direct heat or cool on the vent you use. It still comes out, but the unit blocks it from you directly. Basically a minor inconvenience to me

I wish I could help you but mine is very quiet, in fact I remarked to my husband about how quiet it was.Good luck with this problem.

Mine isn't silent, but isn't horrible. Sounds like an issue to bring up with manufacturer. They might replace the unit.

Def not. I have two of these, and neither of them make any type of rattling sound.

Yes. The unit is very quiet for the most part. Occasionally, but very seldom, it seems that it gets "off kilter" and makes a bit more noise. But a slight tap ends that noise.

It does not make any rattling noises, it is loud, but any vacuum that works very well and has a lot of power will do that.

I have never had any rattling issue. My copy is very solid, plus the lock keeps it from "zoom creeping", although that has never been an issue either because the zoom ring is fairly tight to turn.

Hi, it wasn't too noisy at all but I returned it and bought an oil heater instead .... A radiator. The reason was because we prefer the "warmth" of an oil radiator

I didn't hear anything rattle. Just when we move the unit further away from the phone the music will skip. But Lepow customer service is pretty awesome, after I posted my issue, someone called me right away and sent me a new unit. You should update your complaint and maybe someone will reachout.Good luckRamiro

I don't notice any noise. I have had mine for about a month and I'm very satisfied.

if it is in your kitchen and you have your bedroom door wide open you'll likely hear it (depending on the distance). The sound is a smooth constant sound though. Its not like a crazy rattling noise. The unit is great though. its not fancy it just works really well. the fan is obviously what circulates the air and dries things so efficiently. i bet there are some quiet ones that dont work very well. and there may be some quiet ones that work well, but probably no where near this price.

My experience is that the noise is not normal. I haven't had any issues with the speaker at all.

I too noticed the rattling noise that you're describing. I did some research on the Web and found that it was nothing to worry about as the noise disappears when the lens is powered. However, should your lens continue to rattle once mounted and POWERED on, then return it for a replacement. Hope this helps
