Not when the fans running. When the unit is just on...slightly moving the cyclone bowl fixes it sometimes....otherwise just dropping the temp...
I contacted them when i bought it, and just got a suggestion to try using the Vape in a different room in my house. Thats not the issue, lol. But it hasn't affected the performance at all....so Its kinda a non issue i guess.
Another thing is, my mother can't hear the whistling noise, nor can many people above 25-30. I even have a couple of friends that are around my age (20) that can't. Seems to be a high enough frequency that, like the mosquito noise (google it) that only people with real good ears can hear it. Meaning sending it in, may not be worth it...they might not even be able to hear the issue to try and diagnose it.
Your message gave me a good chuckle.
So apparently the the culprit is your own hearing! I honestly can believe that: My wife has "ears like a bat", as she puts it. And it's true. Long before my hearing degraded (too many nights at the Fillmore, but that's before your time), she would often say "Can't you hear that?". Well,
nobody could hear what she heard, and her hearing is still every bit as sharp. I swear, she's like a cat (sharpness)
and a dog (pitch). In short, you have a gift.
That said, if the noise abates by jiggling the cyclone or changing the temperature, that suggests that its source is heat pressurization that builds in the cyclone and escapes, depending on the bowl seal to the element; alteration in the temp would also change the relative pressure thus affecting any escaping air (the heat probably creates a slight vacuum which pulls air in from the vents underneath, theoretically that could be the source, too). Arizer's response is not as off the wall as it may seem; ambient temp and air could conceivably have an effect. But jeez, we are talking
very fine grain gradations here.
I wouldn't bother sending it back, either. Who knows what you might start hearing with another unit?
