Mine is making a loud ping sound, does anyone else's? I've had a T-fal before and loved it.

That "Ping" you hear is the iron shutting off. I know when I got my first one, I was concerned, until I realized that's what it was doing. Say for instance, if you are sewing working on a project, you have your iron on and at the ready. If I hear the "ping" I know that it had sat idle and the auto shut off engaged. I think it also "pings" when you intentionally shut it off. Sounds like a spring sprunging doesn't it?

I have not experienced that with mine. Sounds like thermal expansion of metal. If its under warranty have it replaced, otherwise love it or leave it!

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!

Agree! mine turns off itself once in a while or loses connection. To this point I can still live with it. I like it so much!

My hlt 5089s has a loud buzzing sound too. I have requested a replacement from Vann's.

No. I'm already having problem. It started making noise when I increase speed the second week I got it. So I can't use it as I wanted on a daily base.

I have not experienced this problem either. You may want to swap it out...I really enjoy mine. It's worth the effort to get one that is working properly.

Hi Patricia...I had the same thing happen to mine but the high pitched noise eventually occurred on all of the speeds. It was not constant...it would come and go but it was very annoying. Couldn't figure out a way to get into the unit to see what was going on. Seemed to me to be some sort of lubrication issue. In any event we really liked the air purifier so we just purchased a new one. It works great and it's one of the least expensive on the market.

I hear it also. It doesn't happen as often for me. It's probably just some coil whine and should be fine.

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

I have one. So far it hasn't done that to me. See if you can return or exchange it for something else.

Sounds like it's too much squelch. Turn it up until you have a constant static, then back it off until there's nothing. That's what we did and we don't have that problem.

I'm having this exact same issue with my TCL 40". If anyone has any ideas on how to to fix this besides buying speakers, it would be appreciated.

Yeah I just set mine up and the motor is pretty loud. I'm thinking of returning it because of that even though everything else is great.

Mine makes the same sounds, I am interested to know if more people have this issue....

Yes I encountered the same thing. Too annoying...too bad, otherwise a nice tool and a good deal. Sending mine back as well.

Hate to say sounds like something wrong. I get the idea. Mine isn't that loud, but there is like an air noise, but doesn't seem to be a bad noise. Or hum, like some I've heard. Mine is more just the "perk" noise.Did you buy it from here. How often used? I'd contact Hamilton beach and ask. Since Amazon is merely the holder, Beach should know more the personality of unit.
