Thanks for reaching out, Mike.
The only noise you should hear from any of the Power Watchdog Surge Protectors would be a small audible click when the unit energizes or disconnects power. This includes both the Portable Power Watchdog # HU62VR and the Hardwired Power Watchdog Surge Protector # HU82VR.
You’ll usually hear a single click a few seconds after plugging in, and another click if it disconnects due to bad campground power. The click is brief and not a constant noise. You shouldn’t hear any loud buzzing, humming, or repeated clicking.
How often are you traveling to different campgrounds?
