Does yours make a constant, barely audible "white noise" sound? ( you may have to put your ear next to it). Just want to know if that's normal.

Mine does not do that, I imagine it shouldn't do that, It also sounds like that may run the battery down faster. Then again my hearing isn't that great, but I don't believe that mine does that.

It's a piece of junk bs I sent back because it never worked right... It's better to spend the extra $ for one of the real ones but still... Sorry you had to go thru that u had bought two :0/

I have three of these on different bikes...I have never heard the noise you describe from any of them.

No, it is not supposed to make a sound unless engaged. Send it back for another one.

No mine does not. I have noticed that when the batter is getting low it does have a barely audible chirp that took me some time to figure out.

Mine doesn't make noises and works like any other blue tooth item. The sound is nice but it will distort at maximum volume.

Mine is probably a dud because it has a piercing noise. It is very clear and particular and I haven't heard any other people commenting about it so mine must be the odd one. The piercing noise turns into an 11 from that scale 1-10 but this seems to be my only case.

Mine isn't silent, but isn't horrible. Sounds like an issue to bring up with manufacturer. They might replace the unit.

Glad to help...People often see to be able to tell when I am using the headphones....when in low to med noise environments the output is great. Seemingly the headphones do not defeat exterior noise so the result is often a mixture of everything that is going on my side of the call. Functionality is awesome...as long as you're in an enviro that is not noisy you will love 'em.

No, I didn't resolve it. I tried 3 different ones, and they all had the same noise. Let me know if you end up going with the same model from a different store, I'm interested to see whether this is a problem with Amazon's batch or the entire line. It's too bad everywhere else is so much more expensive than Amazon though...

I don't hear it unless the room is absolutely quiet and I'm listening for it. If anything, the noise is akin to white noise, so it's not at all noticeable.

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!

First thing I would try is fiddling with the headphone plug in. Try sticking the plug in and pushing towards the edges, and see if the noise changes while you do that. Second it could be noise from the system, try a different audio source too.

There is a white noise - depends on what level you put it on. The higher level the noisier it gets. Compared to others I've had in the past, it's pretty quiet.

no. even after dropping mine there is no such noise, and it still works perfectly. sounds like there is a problem with yours

I might be getting noise from having your settings too high. Try turning everything down all the way except the volume and see if it goes away

That was a concern of mine as well, since the design is supposed to be kind of open. I usually listen at about 1/3 - 1/2 max volume, and a couple of times I took out my earbuds and held them in front of me and I couldn't hear anything. So I think they're pretty decent at directing the sound, although this is obviously not a thorough test.

I did not have that problem at all. Sounds like a defective product. I would ask amazon for an exchange....sorry for the late response...John

It's noticeable but not the worst I've heard. Putting it up high (be careful, drippage) might block it. We had music and the noise wasn't a problem. Can definitely talk over it.Please be aware that I personally had TERRIBLE dripping problems with mine but perhaps it was a defective item. Best of luck if you purchase!

Just got mine and it's definitely not quite and it makes even more noise when it turns (and to me that's really unacceptable in the manufacturing). I was going to use it in my office, but will try it in my bedroom instead, since white noise in there won't bother me.

Not super loud. More like annoying. I've only heard mine up close. Haven't tried to see what it sounds like from a distance. Anybody checked to see if the sound can be heard from a distance?
