OMIGAWD - a little noisy? This timer keeps me up all night!

Do I need to turn the power off to the laundry room to replace the device? the little spring on the inside is broken so the ability to auto turn on won't happen. It will turn off though..then the ticking continues and its annoying. Probably a new one is a better idea anyway.

The timer doesn't do anything but turn the fan on or off. The noise is caused by the fan or blower in your furnace/airconditioner

We use it for commercial sign lights,So we really don't hear at in electrical room.

My original timer was fine but the replacement is very loud. The ticking can be heard in the next room. I will be switching to a solid state timer.

Mine controls our outdoor lights. Is not near the bedroom but is not noisy at all.

Have owned 3 of these, first one wasn't too noisy but that was over 20 years ago, spring broke and replaced with another one, that one quit working after about 5 years, very noisy and have replaced just within the last 6 months with another and it already sounds like a bomb is counting down in the bathroom 24 hours a day, loudest of them all. Going to get rid of it, my recommendation is do not buy this unless it is in a area that noise does not matter.

Odd! I have two of them. Switch to Intermatic ST01. No noise. Battery backup.

Generally these timers are quiet when they are new. After approximately 10+ years of use they get rather noisy. (It would seem time to replace anyway). Good timers.

About 5 seconds and it's a pleasant ring. I love the Oggi kitchen timer. The timer I had before that was so loud, it used to scare me to death.

I don't know! Sometimes I leave mine on all night and other nights turn it on or off during the night. I absolutely love it though. So glad I got it. I ended up getting two. Do you want it on more than 10 hours?

I keep mine on low and the noise is ok. If its on med or high the noise is way to loud. Also I keep it on energy save and it shuts down quite frequently. Better than I expected.

Yes, ours did that as well. You get used to turning it off a few seconds before you want it to stop!

Yes, Meishka, the timer clicks while toasting but not too loudly . It dings once when time is up.

The timer on the 100 is what I consider essential. It turns itself off during the night, so I don't have to worry about it.

There is a low volume tick when the timer activates/deactivates the outlet. But it is silent otherwise.

It will stay on all night long if you want it to. The timer is optional to use.

Yes, but I cover it with a piece of dark tape. It's the noise, relatively speaking, that could keep you up at night.

The ticking noises on the features that I stated previously was due to the timer but I have notice different sounds for different settings. Also, I do recall using toaster setting once and I heard nothing out of the ordinary, only the timer ticking noise.

Volume not adjustable, but not jarring. Sounds "beep .. beep .. beep" for a couple minutes then stops on its own. Just seems loud for such a tiny timer. I've had larger timers (Pyrex, for example) which I can hardly hear in the next room, and which beep for only 5-10 seconds before stopping. I must admit I do not use this timer as a clock or a "count up" because I only need a timer and this is perfect for my use. I like it so much that I always keep an unopened spare on hand in case I drop and break this one and need an instant replacement.

It will play all night if you set it that way. or the timer turns it off at 15min, 30 min, 60 min. I also like the voice activated feature.

Hi Mike, the timer isn't to loud, but you can here it if you are in another room, and if you are listening for it. The alarm last for one min. It is a great timer. I have gotten 2 of them. 1 for home and 1 for work :D

I had the same issue and the solution I used was to leave the fan on all night... It is not very energy efficient but it works for me... you can schedule the fan independently from the A/C and this allows you to avoid the clicking sound during your "sleep" schedule

There are other Marpac sound conditioners that offer timers, if you really want that feature. I, personally, think that it's best to keep it on all night - it helps me sleep soundly and more deeply than I used to sleep, all night long (as opposed to just leaving it on for a little while to help me fall asleep, and then having turn itself off - I feel like I'd be woken in the middle of the night without it on.)
