My reconditioned Dyson makes a high-frequency, steady squeal in addition to the "standard" vacuum noise. Is this normal for a reconditioned Dyson?

Doesn't sound normal at all....if the squeal is present only when using the "beater bar brush" for carpet, then it could be the brush motor bearings and if always present, it would seem to be the main motor bearings...just my guess. If still under any warranty, check into that because a main motor is very expensive. Sorry to hear of your problem.

I would have to say that the squeal your Dyson is making is not normal. My reconditioned Animal makes nothing but the usual sound all vacuums make.

I only got to use mine 3 times before it went in the shop but I dont recall a sound like that. I did find out my noise is from a bad hepa filter and roller brush...neither of which were replaced before I got it or are covered under the warranty. I am really wondering now what gets replaced on these "reconditioned" units. Knowing that, you may want to have it checked out. Good luck :-D

Have two, one makes a creaky noise and the other is virtually silent on the low setting. Spoke to dyson and they have some part that is supposed to address this. Hopefully it will work; as far as the cleaning the inside of the machine, there aren't any blades and I don't think you're supposed to clean the motor

it sounds like a normal vacuum to me, it is not what I would call a quiet machine.

I have never had this problem. Sounds like a poor contact between the battery and the vacuum or maybe the vacuum is plugged.

I havent installed it yet. My existing was sounded like the bearings were going out so I got one ordered, but it quieted back down. I would make sure that the drain on the bottom is clear so your not getting condensate in the bottom of the fan. If it were a high pitch noise, I would say it is a bearing, but low pitch noises are normally imballance - which could be caused by things like a little rub on a blade, blade manufaturing defect, condensate in the bottom, pluggage on the inlet or outlet, or a slight missalignment.

We've used ours about the same and no unusual noise. Squealing sounds like a belt problem like a fan belt on a car.

I don't have a problem with the vacuum canister's motor, but something seems to be wrong with the powerhead. It has a deafening roar. I will be taking it in for repair.

Tried mine last night for the first time, makes so much noise that I had to go back to my old unit. Will try again in a different area and see if that helps

My father had to turn it all the way down to volume 1. He has not complained of any high pitch squealing. Sorry I could not help more.

I would say it makes an average vacuum cleaner noise. It does not have a really high (or whiny timbre) I do not currently have any pets...so I can't say for sure.

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

It's normal, for a smaller vac. It's certainly not loud like a Kirby or anything

My first one had a very loud motor whine, so I exchanged it and the second was the same way! NOT relaxing. I read earlier reviews and found this to be a major complaint.

Hi mine is doing the same thing. I havent talked to the Dyson company yet I think I'km going to return my machine to the store for a refund. What did the company say when you contacted them? Thanks.

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!
