It makes a bit of hissing noise which stops as soon as it reaches the boiling point. It then shuts off.

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

It is kind of noisy, yes. Not incredibly disruptive, but definitely louder than boiling water on the stove.

As the unit start pumping and cooling water it makes some noise. The noise does not last too long. It is a good product I enjoyed having it.

The motor has a low hum to it but the water being gently tossed on the sides sounds pleasant... If you fill it up slightly above the full line it swirls the water around more and has a hi/low swishing sound... the knob on top adjusts the motor speed so it can be white noise or quieter. I would say on Hi the noise is comparable to a desk fan on medium or low.

Hi, Mine is noisy but no more so than any other bread maker. This is my third over a period of several years and I like this one the best so far.

It doesn't seem at all noisy to me. I love it, but the only complaint I have is that the water could be a bit hotter. But it is quiet!

no it's a vibration element. The water is warmed b/c you put warm water in it.

Hm. Haven't used it during the summer, so am relying on memory. There is a loud "clunk" at the beginning of the process, and then some water sounds, but other than that it's quiet. It wouldn't be anything like the constant sound of an espresso machine.

That is the water heating up in the reservoir. It is noticeable but shouldn't be loud.

I have the 140 in my kitchen and it is not noisy at all. The only noise it makes is when it's pumping water into the heating chamber and it's not enough to even think about. I love mine it's bullet proof.

I dont mind the noise...its not very loud. You hear the water exiting more than anything else. I recommend it highly.

there is no noise - just let it warm up - heat will come up in a nice loe flow

It does make noises by bubbling the water. The heating function doesn't work. The hot water gets cold quickly because of the bubbling.

Less noise than a standard microwave oven or oven-top tea kettle, but more noise than a pot of boiling water on the stove. The noise only happens when it's heating up.

If the fan to which you refer is the convection oven fan, the answer is no, it is not noisy. The unit appears to be well insulated from sound.

Yes, it makes a modest noise, similar to boiling water in an ordinary saucepan on an electric range. The noise is not at all objectionable in my opinion. Also, a few seconds after the water comes to a rolling boil there is an audible "click" when the thermostat cuts off the heating element. I use my kettle several times each week to make hot tea. I find it very handy and recommend it without reservation

Not normal! No motor noise, maybe just a hum. Unless the motor is not stationed firmly and is maybe vibrating, I would return. Mine is so quiet, I sometimes forget it is there until I here running water!
