It’s the fan, it sounds like a normal fan you would have in your house its not unpleasant at all.
ghostgirl I got the 9 tray with the timer and it came today!!! I love love love it and I can’t wait to get started making things.I have a new baby so I figure if it is noisy I can just use it as white noise when she sleeps. :)
Oh man, this topic is making me get all excited about getting a dehydrator in September. I can’t wait. SIGH
It’s too noisy for me to have in my kitchen, so I have it in the garage, BUT do not let the noise stop you from getting an Excalibur. I love it. If I lived in an apartment I’d put it in a closet with good ventilation. Worst case I’d put it in my kitchen (imagine that!). It’s worth the noise. It’s easy, efficient, and nice looking. Have fun!
We keep it in the basement because it is practically always on to supply our families needs. We live in a quiet rural area. I like peaceful quietness and the sounds of nature. I find my PC fan loud and the dehydrator fan is louder than that. That said I wouldn’t use any other dehydrator. We’ve had it for 10 years and it works great. I suggest to anyone that is sensitive to constant background noise to locate it in a room where they can close the door.
