Possible Causes

Coil whine from internal power components, Motor resonance in Smart Radiator Valve, Loose mounting causing vibration, Operation at certain PWM frequencies

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Noise alone is not dangerous but may indicate stress on components.

  • Confirm source: Place your ear close to each device to identify which one is making the noise.
  • Tighten mounting: Ensure the noisy device is firmly mounted and not vibrating against a wall or radiator cover.
  • Relocate if possible: Move the thermostat or Relay slightly to reduce resonance with surfaces.
  • Monitor behavior: If noise is brief during valve movement, it may be normal. Continuous loud whining suggests a failing component.

Persistent or worsening noise, especially with erratic behavior, indicates the device should be replaced.
