Is the water continually running, and if so does that make the unit continually noisy?

I don't believe it is, there is no sound of continuously running water that I always heard on my old Kitchen Aid ice machine. It is much quieter than my old machine.

Not sure because I did not have this problem with mine. However, you may take off the filter part at the faucet head to see if there is debris blocking the running of the water and making the whirring sound. Usually new faucet needs to be cleaned to get rid of those debris before installation. Good lick!

We have owned one for a couple of months and do not hear any sound to speak of from the water heater itself. We do seem to notice that when water is flowing anywhere in the house we notice the eater flow sounds more than we did with the water heater tank system we replaced. Not sure why that happens.

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.

Mine is also TERRIBLY loud. It seriously sounds like a generator is going off in my bathroom. Is this a defective unit or a user error?

We only recently began using our Shower panel and we've also heard a noise coming from the unit. I can't say whether or it's the temperature displaycausing this noise. The temperature display runs off of hydrostatic pressure and it could be that mechanism. Who knows - the noise isn't all that badhowever the overall jury is still out.

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!

It depends on how long you've had it. It might be clogged or need a new filter. If it is new, I think there might be something wrong with it. It shouldn't be that loud.

mine makes no noise at all as long as keep fountain filled and clean all parts and pump regularly. I have had mine almost a year and I and cats love it.

That is odd. Sometimes I get a gurgling sound but that is it. Should be silent. Remember to run filtered water through it. Might want to hit up seller.

It is not noisy in itself but the water does make boiling sounds after a while. Keeping the lid on, its pretty quiet.

My unit is installed in a cabinet on the back side of the kitchen wall, and I do not hear anything other than the normal noise of water running through the faucet when in use.

Yes I had the same concern regaring a humming sound heard after the water stops flowing. I was told by a tech that it is venting any left over fumes and to clean the unit. There is a procedure to clean the burner unit it's not impossible but it is a little tricky if your not mechanically inclined.

I cannot remember my unit ever making a dripping noise. It may just be your unit.

Yes it is until it is almost ready to automatically shut off then you hear some gurgling noise of the water as it is almost gone. But otherwise no noise that bothers me.

If you turn it on cool and the water is low, it will beep and will keep beeping periodically until you put more water in it. You can run the fan but you can't run it on cool unless there is water in it. If you add water and it still makes noise, you should return it to the MFG.

Yes it is. It has moments when the condenser may run and you might hear a slight noise, but by and large, this is a very quiet unit.
