Doesn't seem to emit its sound when cold (35 degrees F or less) outside. Bring it in, it warms up and I hear it again. Anyone else have this issue?

No. Haven't noticed it. I will say that this is a great product. Keeps all of the pesky and destructive small creatures at bay.

After several months, summer or winter, these things did not work at all for me. Good luck if you bought this product.

I have had the same experience, except I did not bring it inside. It is still my favorite mole chaser.

We had 4 of these things and gave all of them away as they did not work at all.

P3 International's Mole Chaser is an inferior product, the company will not stand behind their products! Mole activity increases with colder temperatures and their Mole Chasere will not emit good sound vibrations in cold temperatures. Buy Sweeney Mole Chasers sold by Amazon. P3 Internationl sucks! Dean

Our house never gets that cold. Chirping is probably coming from the lower output of the battery due to the cold temp. I'm assuming the chirping goes away as the temp rises.

Assuming the battery is good, it must be defective. Mine is quite loud and I take care not to set it off in error... especially in the garage. :)

Unfortunately, the sound is normal for this particular thermostat. I replaced an older Honeywell with this unit and was amazed that the newer model made such a loud click when calling for chilled air (still summer here). Since the thermostat is in my hallway, I am sure the click is louder due to the echo off the walls. But heck ... my "old" thermostat was so silent that I had to lean in to hear the relay pick. Actually looking at tossing this one for something quieter and with more features perhaps. I am not going to talk to my thermostat from my phone but I would like to have the outside air temp displayed. So ... quiet its not. Unfortunately, the sound is normal for this particular thermostat.

Try putting a pair of shoes on it for an hour or so, they should warm up. You should not hear any noise as it is just a heating element that causes a natural thermal draft.

I returned mine...it is really loud..so loud it covered up any chance of conversation....also...it did not produce snow...I would look elsewhere....

We had this thermostat professionally installed and it makes no noise. I just tested it by changing the function (heat to cool) and the temperature. It never made a peep and has worked perfectly since May 2014.

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

Hi I have trouble with my unit. I dont think its a TV problem. I only get a snowy screen and the sound is in slow motion. The batteries seems okay with a meter check. Anyone else have this problem?

I think mine's run dry before and still seems to be working this week(first freezes in New Jersey, us)...it seems to keep the water just above freezing so I don't think runs very warm

well it all depends how big is your room and how cold is outside! mine works perfectly and the temperature changes constantly. your's might be defective too!

Mine is still working just fine, with light to medium use throughout the week. When the ice maker starts it makes a soft motor sound, which is caused by its pump, and once the ice tray is filled this noise stops. Sometimes, you can also hear a louder sound, made by a cooling fan. This unit is not the most silent on the planet but mine still works. Hope this helps.

same thing happen to me, I got a new part for the heater it kept doing the same thing, so I just stop using it, because it will go out at night an you will wake up cold, I think it is a bad heater.

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!

No zots? No light? No heat? Sounds BROKE to me! Really, take it back where you bought it and replace it or get your money back. Mine lights up when I push the on button and heats up immediately.

I keep my house at 55F in the winter. No chirping. That said, battery voltages dip as a result of cold (although 50F isnt really that cold). Perhaps its just an old battery thats on the edge and the cold pushes it over?

I cannot get mine to get passed a very little warm sensation and it is a useless rip off if you ask me! I have never been so disappointed with an item as I have this one. I think that this should be taken off Amazon all together! Sorry I cannot help with your question and sorry you have been ripped off too!
