Hello..... I actually get called out to this.

I have one particular customer who has had 4 tivo in the last 3 months.

The procedure is:

He sits me down in his sofa, turns the TV off closes the door and we listen. He has a very quiet house, right enough we can hear it clicking away.

I've explained that this is normal, tried rubber feet, went from cisco to Samsung and back to cisco. He keeps insisting his friend has a quiet tivo so he wants one.

They all make a noise. Most houses ambient noise is louder, but some are not.

It's similar to the sh1 psu issue. I could hear every single curved psu screaching away but was constantly told it must be a faulty batch, no, I could hear EVERY single one.

As I said before they ALL tick and rumble. It's just that 99% of people find it acceptable
