Nano Stream 6045 Loud Hum

[expat701]

I've had a Nano Stream 6045 since Sunday (now running 4 days). It made a loud humming noise since day one. Is this normal? The tank is in the living room and the humming is really starting to annoy me. I thought they were supposed to be silent?

It should be relatively silent. There are certain angles that the pump has a louder hum and depending on placement the vibrations may reverberate if the holder is against a corner for example. It may be worth while to remove the drive unit and the cover and double check everything and give it a couple more days.

Thanks... And yes it's in a corner. I'll move it around and see if it get's any better.
