The Vicks model occasionally 'bubbles' as the humidifier is working. Does this humidifier run silently as it operates? Thanks!

It makes some boiling sound, kind of a white noise sort of thing. I don't find it bothersome at all.

So sorry to say, it does NOT. It's a fabulous diffuser, but not strong enought to emit a true humidifying effect.

This humidifier makes little to no noise what so ever. It quietly hums on high, but if at a lower or medium setting it is very quiet.

The only thing you can do is keep it clean with the cleaner they sell. Outside of that, if it quits misting, there's usually not much you can do or replace yourself! Kinda sucks because I know they fail for no good reason, but it's my favorite humidifier when it works! You may try reseating the water container into the base unit and or jarring it a little bit to see if something is stuck. I wouldn't attempt to dis-assemble it. Messing with water and electricity is dangerous.

It would depeand on what speed you had it on. I don't fine to be noise at all. though I do not have it in the bed room. on low speed it is very quite. although at any speed, I hardly notice that it is there. this is my second year with the humidifier, and one of the best buys in humidfiers I have made.

I am looking to buy this product and was looking at reviews and answers to questions before doing so and I agree with another person's answer regarding the question of it turning off by itself.....I have had several different types of humidifiers and it is true that they will shut off on a surface that isn't level, even if sitting on carpet sometimes. If there is the slightest tilt that you may not notice, the humidifier will sense that the tank is empty when it isn't. Just slightly put your hand on top and put a little pressure to one side or the other and see if it comes on.....if it does, then it's not level. This worked for me and then I just made sure that it stayed in that position.

Mine only makes noise when I forget to add water, and all my pods have always grown and done well. Ive had it for a couple years now. Love it. The only plant that didn't do really well was dill. But I still got some off it

I have this humidifier and while it works great, I cannot say how well the ionizer works... Sorry

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.

The machine is very quiet when running..a very low buzzing sound. Straight water in the tank works OK... Use the jewelry cleaner for better results. It depends how dirty the jewelry is as it might take a longer or multiple clean cycles.

No. My unit runs until I turn it off. If you are using the humidity setting, obviously you will need to add more water. I suggest you contact Sharp about this issue.

It does have variable speeds - probably not exactly white noise, however, it is quiet compared to other humidifiers we have had. We like it - good value.

I live in Southern California and it's super dry all the time. When I use this humidifier, it will run almost continuously, rarely kicking off. I don't think it's broken. I think it's doing its job of pumping moisture into extremely dry air. I know the air feels better and my husband and I feel better when I keep it running. So I think it's doing what it's supposed to do. However, you can certainly call customer service for Vornado and ask them too! Hope that helps.

Be sure to check your humidistat setting & remember the unit operates automatically beyond a +/- 5% variance from that setting. Also be sure to check tank fill level that isn't getting tripped somehow. If these two tips don't help I'd contact PerfectAire customer service.

With the original set I could, with the newer re-design like these both yes and no. I was able to hear a vicks steam humidifier poping as it heated the water on the other side of her room. But it comes down to decible levels (I have no idea how loud a wave machine is), any more suddle noises do not seem to pick-up over the mic. However you can clearly hear abrupt noises very clearly (Think toys falling off shelves).

I noticed an interesting odor when I first started operating the humidifier however that subsided within a day or so. Almost smelled like new plastic if that makes sense. Hope this helps!
