My Nuwave is noisy, is this common?

Yes. I find this annoying too but the product does work well with induction ready cookware. It is important to use a fan or open a window for ventilation because there have been a few times smoke fumes filled the air the area I've cooked in.

You can hear the motor spin up - its not that loud (less noisy than the exhaust fan running low speed on a electric stove) unless you cook while you want to sleep then all bets off!

Yes. The unit is equipped with a fan that comes on as soon as it is started. Skip the fondue option as the unit is too noisy to have a pleasant dinner conversation around as they show on the commercial. The unit's electro-magnetic coil also emits a very high frequency sound that is most annoying to people under 30 years of age and some pets. You do get acclimated to this noise over time, but you may want to keep small children out of the room, or they may complain about the high frequency sound. This said we like our cooktop, the temperature control is a great thing when cooking. Pan heat up and cool down fast. Yes. The unit is equipped with a fan that comes on as soon as it is started.

When it is on the fan is running. That is the only noise to be heard, The noise will go away when the burner is turned off. I don't seem to mind the sound.

The fan is fine, I expected that. However, there is a "tinny, rattling, whiny" sound that is most annoying. This can't be right.

My nuwawve makes a little noise as the motor spins up, but it is not that loud unless you want sleep next to it while cooking :) a microwave oven is much louder the only con for me is lack of induction cookware or cheaper ware at many stores

sounds kinda crappy to me =/ it gets that crackling noise if it's too loud/heavy. i'm no expert though

Mine has zero noise. Try turning down the gain and put in on the clean channel. It should be silent (unless you have the volume way up). You may get some negligible noise on the crunch or overdrive especially if the gain is turned up. Read through the manual. Amazon should return if you have issues.

Well, there is some minor fuzz that should, by most accounts, be expected with this and other tube amps. If the static noise you are experiencing is severe, you may have a defective unit, I suppose. My Vali has only a small amount of fuzz that, to me, is worth the sweet warm sound I get from a tube amp.

Mine is noisy too, a high pitch whirring sound. I wondered if mine was broken as well but it has great suction so I think it's suppose to sound like that :)

Ours makes a small cyclic hum. You can hear it. It doesn't bother me, but everyone has different tolerances.

Once in awhile when I power mine up, I get a "rushing" noise that requires it to be powered down and powered back up again. Not sure what that is. It's not interference from my home wireless network. Mildly annoying.

Tried mine last night for the first time, makes so much noise that I had to go back to my old unit. Will try again in a different area and see if that helps

Mine can be noisy, but mostly when cooking beans. I find the noise rather comical, actually. I suppose it could be a little disruptive if you're trying to have dinner conversation...

During normal non-gaming use, I barely know it is on. When I play a simple online game (Runescape) it really revs up and gets quite loud for me. Sometimes I would rather not play then to have the noise. But then again, I've been told my ears are quite sensitive.

Sharon - I agree with the responses already given. The only time I get feedback or a squealing noise is when I bend over too far. This usually happens when I'm adjusting my boombox or demonstrating a deck move. (I teach water aerobics). I wish there were a way to incorporate the voicebooster into a fanny pack. It bounces up & down frequently. Any ideas? bjsallows@sbcglobal.net

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

Be smart and throw it away before it costs more. Suggest a Nu Wave. I love it

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 have had the same experience (loud buzz, dropped signal). Very disappointing in a system of this cost. Is Nuforce intending on fixing this or is our only approach - as commented previously - to defeat the bluetooth and direct wire, which defeats the point of the system? With the advent of new bluetooth systems that have entered the market I would suggest that if Nuforce doesn't provide a fix to this problem that they will fail.

No I have not noticed any strange noise in mine. Sounds like yours is defective.

On high speed it is pretty noisy,but not more than a bladed fan. I'm pretty sensitive to noise so maybe it's me. On low it is just fine
