Ring Alarm
White noise from base station
Hi, just setup the ring alarm 1 and noticed that the base station gives out a quiet hiss or white noise while running. If I reboot it goes until the door sensor sets a noise off and then it’s back. It’s constant. Has anyone else noticed this or do I have a bad unit?

Hi @Whitehouse3489. If you can, please review my previous response to better help you address this concern. [quote="Tom_Ring, post:2, topic:45498"] This is strange, as the Base Station should not be producing a “white noise” sound. Would you be able to share a short video of this noise that the Base Station produces? This way, I can share it with my team and see if we can diagnose what is happening. In addition, you can upload this video elsewhere, such as YouTube, and then share the link to the video in your reply. :slightly_smiling_face: [/quote]

Same here. I just set it up, and it's whistling. Enough to be heard even with TV on, but not enough to be heard in video. Since it's new, I will send it back right away, unless there's more feedback before I send it back...

I have found the culprit. The noise comes from the LED. Lowering the luminosity will lower the noise. You can lower it until it can't be heard. I set it to 15-20% and I can't hear it anymore. It will still emit noise even with 0%, so it's better installed somewhere outside the living room. You're welcome.

We lowered the LED luminosity all the way down, but the white noise from the base station is still there and IT'S DRIVING US CRAZY. Maybe we have a faulty product, too? Please help!

This DOES NOT solve the issue. We lowered the LED luminosity all the way down, but the white noise from the base station is still there and IT'S DRIVING US CRAZY. Maybe we have a faulty product, too? Please help!
