Our new insinkerator hot tap noticably rumbles &amp; boils about 2-3 times/hour. It's louder than our diswasher. Is this defective? We hate the noise.

When we had that problem, it was because we had the heat turned up to high - if you turn it down (water temp) a little, I think the sound will go away!

We did have a problem with our unit. I called the service number, tried the fix he suggested but it didn't help. After a few more calls, they did send me a pre-paid return label. Several weeks we got the same unit back --- with the same problem. Luckily, the unit heats well but I need to give it an occasional kick to stop the loud rattle. Guess my answer is "good luck getting a replacement".

I have not noticed it being particularly noisy and we use if all the time. Great microwave but we haven't used the steam feature once:(

Yes- It's probably normal not a defect. I've had similar appliances in the past and they all make a hum.

That sound sort of dangerous...i looked it up on the insinkerator doctor and it wasn't really a "question" though it did say that over hot water could lead to spitting and spouting of water. Perhaps turn it down a little and call insinkerator if that doesn't work.

Well, it is louder than our dishwasher but we have a super quite one. It doesn't bother us, sound about the noise level of a humidifier, small fan heater running.

When I turn my A10 on in the morning it takes 2 minutes for the boiling water sound to come to a complete stop because the thermostatic relay tripped the heating element off. I hope that is not too long a wait ;)

just got mine out of the box and i'm having the same problem. the filter holder is hot, the steamer seems to be working, but water isn't going through. i thought i tamped the grounds too much, so i have now tried with a loose tamp and with no coffee grounds at all. All I get is a horrible noise. I'm very frustrated!

I've had both the Insinkerator and the Waste King models. I find the Waste King to be a little more noisy than the prior Insinkerator models when the water is being heated.

It is pretty noisy. I have returned a second one- stopped brewing all together.

I do notice some buzzing when I first place a cold piece of cookware on the burner but it isn't that loud and seems to stop once things heat up. Not enough to bother me at all. Also, you should check around on the internet because people do complain about this issue even with higher end cookware like AllClad so may depend on the induction unit as well as the cookware. Maybe some people are more sensitive to the sound than others. I went from a gas commercial JennAir to a new Frigidaire Gallery induction cooktop and love it. I also love the Cooks Standard pieces (this set and the 5-clad Wok) but have no other comparison for induction and the amount of buzzing.

as far as the noise goes, i can't help you that much since mine isn't all that noisy - just a background "hum" that isn't all that objectionable.the lib vibration could be caused by not "nesting" the trays when the unit is turned on.the only other idea i have is that one (or more) of your trays is "out of round". by that i mean you have to be careful in washing them in a dishwasher. if you are washing them in a dishwasher they can't go through the full heat of the drying cycle - they'll deform or warp. i watch the dishwasher closely and catch them at the time the drying cycle begins and take them out and let them "air dry". as far as the noise goes, i can't help you that much since mine isn't all that noisy - just a background "hum" that isn't all that objectionable.the lib vibration could be caused by not "nesting" the trays when the unit is turned on.the only other idea i have is that one (or more) of your trays is "out of round". by that i mean you have to be careful in washing them in a dishwasher. if you are washing them in a dishwasher they can't go through the full heat of the drying cycle - they'll deform or warp. i watch the dishwasher closely and... » Read More as far as the noise goes, i can't help you that much since mine isn't all that noisy - just a background "hum" that isn't all that objectionable.the lib vibration could be caused by not "nesting" the trays when the unit is turned on.the only other idea i have is that one (or more) of your trays is "out of round". by that i mean you have to be careful in washing them in a dishwasher. if you are washing them in a dishwasher they can't go through the full heat of the drying cycle - they'll deform or warp. i watch the dishwasher closely and catch them at the time the drying cycle begins and take them out and let them "air dry". « Show Less

It is noisy when the water enters and is heating in the tank. Once it is hot, it isn't noisy. It takes 3-4 minutes to warm up to a really hot temp. I only experienced leaking when I refilled the water while it was hot and tried to iron too fast. It leaks the first time you use it, so keep a cloth handy. At least they tell you that in the instructions. I will say that I really like it and would buy it again. Yesterday I hung my drapes and steamed them while they were up on the windows!

I do not have a boiling noise however, mine does make a noise like it is on or something but not boiling.

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!

You can hear the sound of the boiling water, but I have a Nesspreso machine next to it which is much louder. It never bordered me or my family and I use it many times during the day and night(I work nights).

My wife and I have a B60 and I bought a B40 for my mother. The B40 is much noisier than our B60. The pump on the inside of the units are vibrator diaphragm pumps and are going to make noise to some degree. Try making sure that your water reservoir is fully seated in the base and then try removing the reservoir cover while brewing; we found that the vibration of the pump is transmitted to the cover and it sounds like the unit is going to come apart.
