I just got one, and when I press the button to get the steam out I heard a noise, it is that normal? Thanks!

I guess that depends on the noise. When the steam releases, you hear that. It does take a few minutes for the water to heat. Then press and get lots of steam. You might be hearing the water begin to boil?

well, it's a click, just as with most on-off switches - what happened next - are you still waiting? lordy!!

Mine makes a noise when I press the button like it's building up to steam. It's sort of a gurgling or water popping kind of sound. That's normal. Does that help?

It takes only a few minute to get a boiled water. To me, steaming sound is normal and not noisy.

hi simone. i had a similar issue when i got mine. the trick is to prime the pump the first time you use the machine. just add water, turn it on and press the "froth mode" button and wait until it stops flashing. then place a container under the frothing rod and turn the front knob to "froth start" and leave the machine alone for a while. it will make a thumping noise for a while (maybe up to three or four MINUTES) and then steam and hot water will begin spewing out. then your machine is ready. you will only need to do this once when you first buy your machine. the instructions say to do this for thirty seconds, but mine just wouldn't do it. so it left it to prime for almost FIVE minutes before the steam and hot water started pumping out. good luck!

No, never had that problem. Sounds like you may need to send it back. Mines is not noisy. The fan is in the lid, but I have not noticed a real noticeable vibration and certainly it does not stop with the simple press on one side. Amazon has a very good customer service. Give them a call.

Steam always comes out. I have never had to press the steam button. Are you cleaning the iron at the end of each use?

it may be the coil heating up when the unit is new we have not experienced this noise with ours.

Yes, it is silent. The light around the green button just turns off and you can hear the steam stop (but thats not loud).

I've never had that noise when running the plasmawave. Maybe check with the manufacturer for advice or replacement parts would be effective

just got mine out of the box and i'm having the same problem. the filter holder is hot, the steamer seems to be working, but water isn't going through. i thought i tamped the grounds too much, so i have now tried with a loose tamp and with no coffee grounds at all. All I get is a horrible noise. I'm very frustrated!

No steam should come out once the unit is up to pressure. It will steam while it is pressuring up, but make sure the valve is in the right position. Once it has built up pressure it should seal itself off!

It is noisy. I love it, but it is noisy. Also, a lot of steam comes out, going forward. I had to move it by a window instead of my bed.

Hi. On my unit sound is very minimal but you must see steam and very solid one. Your unit probably broken as mine after a month of usage. I would recommend you to return it.

I do not have a boiling noise however, mine does make a noise like it is on or something but not boiling.

I just received this toaster from our wedding registry and YES my husband and I both hear a high pitched noise. I don't know if it is normal or not - came here to see if anyone else had the problem.

I am not sure if it is normal, but mine does make this noise when the lid is open.

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.

The noise is the water heating inside the water internal hot water tank. Not to worry. The manual addresses that issue.
