The only noise my vortechs makes is from the dryside. There was no noise when I first got the first one, after a month of use I started to hear it from 30 ft away. So if you want to call it worn out bearings so be it. I call it chitty bearings. I bought a used one and I can hear it from the same distance now as well. Trying to get warranty in Canada is an absolute joke so rather than go threw all the bullchit like myself and others have had than I would recommend you do it yourself if the dryside starts to irritate you. Like I said earlier I really like the Vortechs and all of the features that they come with. But for $1000 for 2 pumps you really should'nt hear the pumps over the surround sound TV's in most peoples home. Alot of guys say that they only hear the whirr of the wetside, not in my case and i'm hard of hearing to begin with. It's happened with 2 out of the 3 pumps i've experienced. Sorry not trying to turn this in to a rant, just trying to help out.
