I would like to retract my statement below - My new one is very quiet, only audible within the room... the older one has a problem of some sort and will be undergoing return/exchange.

I can definitely hear them in the next room though, they are on 100%... it was a bit annoying at first, but I have good ears and low 'annoying noise threshold' lol. It doesn't annoy my folks who hate annoying noises (like the smallest water drip or pump humming), though. Its not obnoxious like loud droning, but its defintely an audible 'whir' as it winds up and down.

Cheers,

Chris

Mp40s are very quiet.

If its loud it's one of these 2 things:

Dry and wet side not lined up perfectly.

And/or

Dry side magnet is rubbing on the rubber spacer. Also the rubber spacer has 3 nipples that need to go into the holes but sometimes they miss the holes and bend and rub against the dry side magnet.
