I just bought one of these and it makes an electrical buzz on all fan levels. You can hear it when very close. Is this normal (from the ionizer)?

I've no idea if it's normal, but I doubt it. We just hear the fan, with volume directly relative to speed it's running. Nothing electrical buzzing at all.

I have had my unit for more than a year and use it on low most of the time and have had no buzz. just the normal fan noise

I have several of the units and there is not a buzz noise only a hmmmm like a fan. I think something must be lose in your unit. I can put mine on silent and I don't hear it at all...try that....if its still buzzing then something is wrong. They are great units.

No. I run mine (we have two) on a low speed and I only have a low hum from the fan.

My unit does not make a loud buzzing sound but does have a slight humming sound from fan operating similar to a computer. Call tech support, they are awesome

There is very little noise with my unit when the fan isn't running. And the only times so far that the fans have kicked in were when I had it hooked to my TV as an external display. Don't get me wrong, the fans are far from silent when they do kick in, but with fairly normal use, they usually don't.

No. I've had mine over 2 years and I've never heard anything like that. I only hear the fan and air blowing.

Yes, I have the same problem. I have learned to work around it. I make sure that I turn the main switch off, when I am not using the fan. I will check the channel switch, as suggested by other users. It is a very good fan, I would not replace it.

I have a unit which makes a noise like a normal fan would make. It does not make loud unexpected noise. There is a compressor unit in it like the one freeze and that has its own noise Apart from that I am not sure what kind of noise you are getting. Thanks

I only heard mine the first time I powered it on (a sort of scratching sound as the fan hit the inner cage). Then the sound just went away.

Mine makes a very slight buzz every great once in awhile. I think it only happens when it needs to be cleaned. It goes away if I blow it out. It might be going away because it's been moved and not because it's dirty.

I have had this happen with other electrical items in the house, i.e. running a bathroom extraction fan and running a heater in the next room on the same circuit. I would suggest contacting an electrician to see if perhaps your electrical system is being overloaded somewhere. I have had no problems with the circuit blowing with the Euroflex Monster. I have 4 of these Euroflex Monsters and I have had them several years. I love them! I also have the Euroflex Monster vacuum...small and great!

Just got one on Tuesday 2/9/10. Same buzzing problem, but found out it was getting some type of interference from our space heater. Look for something that may be causing the same thing in your home. We turned off the space heater and now we're colder, but NO BUZZING. Hope this helps!

Hi Michael: That is not normal. I'd see about getting a replacement. Mine ignites very quickly and well.

I hear no such noise in mine, however, I always leave mine in standby mode. I suspect you have a noisy cooling fan.

Hi, Haven't had ours for long enough to have any problems. However, knowing what little I know about electrical heating elements, if it's making noise that's probably not a good sign. Would take the time to send it in either for repair or replacement. These aren't complicated devices, but the potential for fire is always lurking the background. Don't want to overkill, but wouldn't take any chances... Jay Miller

When mine was first installed, my electrician said I would hear some noises (something like a popping noise) after the unit shuts off and that would be normal. I'm not sure why. I've had mine installed for over 7 months and have not had any issues with it. I don't know for sure if it no longer makes the noise, or if it stops after a time.

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.

I don't think that's normal. Mine makes no sound at all. You should contact the seller and ask for a replacement. Do not leave it plugged in. It could be a fire hazard. Be safe.

I have been using the this drive for several months and I have had no buzzing noises. I would be concerned about that. Sounds like there may be an issue with the drive. I had one of the book drives start dropping out like it was getting disconnected then it finally just died. I had it for about 4 years before this happened though and had already purchased another one a couple of months before the old one died. The one I have now seems to be working fine but I am not sure I would buy another one.
