    Hey all, just go a tunze nanostream 6025. I love it, see my review

    But the only thing is that its noisy :(. Is there a way to DIY something to cut down the vibration noise? Its got a magnet holder.

    Thanks for any ideas.

    Marc.

    From what I've read, Tunze's have a break in period of about 24-48 hours. If it hasn't quieted down by then, I would contact Tunze and see if they can offer suggestions?

    If it's brand new, this is a fairly common issue.

    My Tunze turbelle vibrated at first and I contacted their support. They told me to give it some time to break in. I thought this was hogwash but it turned out to be true. After couple weeks or so, I barely could hear it at all.


    EDIT:

    I missed this post. Looks like yours is happening faster than mine! :)


    KARMA for writing a review!
