Is there a detectable pattern to the generated noise?

This is a machine where others are an electronic sound. The electronic ones are a recording, so there is a pattern. Machine generated sound, like a fan, does not have a pattern.

Hi Brian. No, there isn't. It is a consistent sound and that is a huge benefit (to me). The others that I used to had a detectable sound pattern, and quite frankly, they were annoying. There is a high and a low volume setting and I like both settings. I am 70 years old and have tried many "sound machines" over the years that were loaded with different sounds at a lower price. Although I did not want to spend this much, I have never regretted it. We have 4 on these Marpac DOHM DS's in our house. Good luck with your decision.Bob

No, it blends into the backroand nicely and just bumps the ambient in a nondescript way

No, nothing like that. Just a consistent sound. Sort of like a window air conditioning unit sound, but it is constant, not like a fan where you can hear the blades vary

No there is not a detectable pattern to the noise it is just a steady hum like having a fan in the room. That is is the closest comparison I can think of. If you have any further questions don't hesitate getting back to me.

In my opinion it sounds like a two speed fan .Set it on Low or high speed for consistant sound.I like the same level of sound wave all night.

No detectable pattern because it has a mechanical motor and fan inside. No electronics inside. The one that I have been using every night is now over 10 years old!

I have not used mine a lot but so far I have not noticed any noise. I have used it for GarageBand sessions and have not picked up any noise in the recordings.

No there is not, however there is an audible "click" when the microphone crosses a threshold, when pushed up, to indicate that it is muted.

There is a sound, but it may not disrupt a video. It is noticeable, but would not describe it as loud.

yes, every time followed by the # sign. there is an option to "silence" the noise if u need that. hope it helps!

No. It had minimal noise reduction. Try a additional or larger gauge ground wires. Good Luck

I think so. It jumps around as the noise level changes but then gives high low and average

I don't mind the noise at all. The actual problem is that it appears as obstruction after turning it on for a bit.

I have been very pleased with my purchase. There is no loud noise when running. Maybe you should exchange. That doesn't sound normal.

It certainly has some noise.. a spinning or whirring noise is normal for these drives in my experience. However, clicking noises often mean trouble (not the slight 'clicking' you might hear if you get close while it's writing information). I would have a backup of any data, even if the drive seems fine (always)..

Based on a sample size of one, not in the least. I you have any noise, you have something attached/adjusted improperly.

That isnt normal to make noise like that. There are mirrors inside that spin though (that is how you see a red line), but it shouldn't make noise.

It's should be, the noise is usually caused by different components being grounded to different areas. This should eliminate the feedback loop you are hearing.

I didn't notice any noise problem with mine. It is a pretty good recorder for the price

Not that I know of. My wife and I like the noise. It drowns out any other sounds and helps us sleep better. Good Luck. I really like our unit.

I don't hear it at all except for the rare occasion it kicks into the "Red" mode when there is a lot of dust or pollen getting kicked up (ie I disturb something that has had dust settle on it for a while), it is a rare occurrence since the quiet level does a great job maintaining the space.

The noise has not been a problem at all. Yes, you can hear it but it's barely noticeable (rubber rubbing rubber).
