What can you do about the loud high pitched compressor noise? It is driving me crazy! Just got this unit today. Does it get any better over time???

Mine does not have this high pitch you're talking about, just a loud hum, rather like a window air-condition unit. Since it is in my basement, it does not bother me. Maybe you have a bad unit?

No it always seems to be loud. Over a year no better. I don't run it at night anymore because of this

We have found it can be noisy. It's on carpet so we move it slightly to rebalance and reduce the noise. Some times we even tap it on the side to giggle it a little.

This has just been one more irritant to owning this unit. Ours is the same and has been since purchase.

Is the area you're using it in large enough that you could move it to another room, or behind furniture? I don't notice the high-pitch noise so much but the growling motor is pretty loud to me, and so I use it in a central g room where it's not such a nuisance. The low setting volume is better but then it takes longer to dry the room(s). I hope you find a satisfactory solution!

Mine, too, made a loud pop every time I turned it on. However, it was working otherwise until it lost connection to the subwoofer and started making the clicking (or popping) noise every second or so. None of my ideas for addressing the problem worked except for returning the unit to Amazon, which I am doing.

I have this same problem. It's loud and I can't for the life of me figure out why it started or how to stop it. I'll have to buy a new machine (not this one).

sounds like it has a problem, there should be no noise coming from unit, contact manufacturer or place of purchase.

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.

Mine is a different sounding fridge, but not really louder, I believe it is mostly fan noise not compressor noise. But ... make sure that you have at least 2" of air gap in the back. It is such a big unit it is tempting to push it back as far as you can. The better air flow you have over the back the less sound you hear.

Hello J. that high pitch sound is ok, however, my defuser didn't have that, so with that said, my guess is that it depends upon the fan that they put in the particular machine. If it bothers you though, by all means, Amazon is good at sending things back so they would gladly replace the unit, On my DoTERRA unit, it would start and then slow way down to almost nothing. I hope I've helped you.Sincerely: Ray R.

I have a 2 week old Sound Bar with a similar issue as well. It emits a high-pitch (electrical) whine on stand-by. No firmware updates or results in Google yet. Just your post. May call Samsung before I return it to Best Buy.

I would look on youtube for videos of ppl using it. You'll hear the compressor. Here's a link http://youtu.be/rBPL0AORrvY?t=20m27s that's what it sounds like when I use it.

The noise I experienced sounded like the unit was under water. It was so annoying I didn't want the thing on. I finally figured out that they build all these units now to not drain water in between the compressor fan and condenser coil in the back of the unit. The compressor fan than using a sling blade to slosh the water up on the condenser coil cooling it. Although this makes it slightly more efficient, I couldn't stand the noise. One carefully placed drilled hole in the back right in front of the condenser coil and the noise is now gone. The unit is finally super quiet again (as far as window air conditioners go.

I haven't encountered this problem. The problem I have occasionally is, at some time after installation I find air has somehow gotten into the line and causes a terrible rattle and noise. I have been able to get rid of the problem by disconnecting and reinstalling the filters. Sorry this doesn't answer you question. Does it always happen? Maybe there is something floating around that blocks the flow when you open turn it on too fast.

As Jeffrey...Yes, I have the same hissing sound on my unit too... I am from Canada, and I cannot shipping it back to the USA since It will be too expensive to do so, so I'll just keep it as is.

Hi, I have exactly the same problem with the Healtmate Plus which I received and the noise. I was told by the seller to run it for sometime. Is the smell from your machine gone by now?

Is it still under warranty? Mine is too loud most of the time. Sounds like the unit is faulty.

Mine started making a high pitched, loud, random squeak after about a year- just beyond warranty of course. I've written the company but no response yet- I've changed the filters and kept the unit really clean- very frustrating...

After moving the purifier several times while vacuuming, mine has also developed a louder whirring noise. It is obvious at all levels. Level one used to be very quiet, an almost unnoticeable hum, but now it sounds like the motor is grinding and working overtime. As it's been less than a year, maybe less than half a year, I am planning on speaking to the manufacturer about it.
