      @jugger @Giacomo-Laffranchini This may indicate an issue with the motor, I don’t think it should occur. I would contact support.

        @brad_olwin Thanks!
        Actually my watch is already at Suunto service center; however, for a different problem.

        Perhaps I should have included this in the list of issue to be addressed.

          @giacomo-laffranchini Could you write here after you get your watch back and tell if humming is gone? I could also contact Suunto service if my watch is faulty.

            @jugger Sure - I can certainly do so! I will post as soon as I get a watch back.

            For full disclosure: (1) please note that I sent my watch to Suunto for a different issue (I Don’t know if they will indeed check this vibration issue), and (2) Suunto gave me an estimated time for this repair of 15 business days - I have to be patient

              @giacomo-laffranchini hmm,
              after reading this I have found mine has a slight vibration type thing going on if I tap (using the tip of my finger, not the finger pad) the screen on the bottom half, it reminds me of a spring type vibration, its definitely noticeable, I am assuming as a few of us have felt it; it’s normal; it kind of reminds me when you knock an older guitar amplifier and the reverb spring vibrates, but this one is a shorter vibration period, it doesn’t do it if you tap on the upper half of the screen.

                @tonyg Yes - it almost gives a similar feeling to notifications. As said, when my device will ultimately come back from service center I will be sure to post here

                  @giacomo-laffranchini @Jugger Suunto will do a thorough check of the watch and let you know whether anything is wrong.

                    @brad_olwin That’s fine. It has no effect on my use but for curiosity I would like to know if it’s normal.

                      I just checked my brand new S9P and now know what you mean with the resonance.
                      It is definitely there when tapping on the lower part of the screen. It is not there on the upper part.
                      Since my watch is new from the factory, I would tend to think that this is normal and not an issue.
                      Will check back with Suunto since my watch is some kind of a developer model.

                        Thank you all for your feedback! Reading through this, I’m sure the vibration/resonance is normal. I wouldn’t worry about it. It’s not like something is really loose inside. It rather feels like a firmly attached part that is swinging slightly inside. Might be the accelerometer or the thing that creates the vibrations for notifications.

                          @jugger I finally got my watch back from Suunto service. I tend to believe that the “humming” is normal as the watch still does it to a certain degree. Everything works perfectly on the watch.

                          However, I did notice a difference in the repaired unit. Before sending the watch to service the humming was more pronounced and could be triggered by tapping anywhere on the watch. Instead, the humming on the repaired unit is a lot less intense, shorter, and only cause by tapping on the bottom portion of the screen.

                          Anyway, I am super happy I got my watch back and that everything works well on the watch. Looking forward to go out for some trail running, hopefully, tomorrow.

                            Finally bought SUUNTO 9 peak titanium 🙂
                            wow very good feeling.
                            Really light. You do not notice it on the wrist.
                            Great look!

                            Referring to vibration: external sound is quite different from S9B.
                            For me it is louder to hear but good thing also more noticeable vibration. Am I right? Is vibration way more louder and a little bit rattling? S9B you couldn’t hear.

                              For me it is the opposite, i.e. I feel vibration and buzzer of the Baro better than the Peak.

                                Thanks. Strange. After a view days I would say that the sound of the vibration alerts does not feel so 100% premium. There is too much rattle noise. Would be interesting if others feel this way or if my watch has some issue and I should return it. Maybe only Titan for min weight?

                                –> Main point are notification alerts. SW could be a solution to shorten these alerts…

                                  @mountainchris My watch also makes sometimes rattling sound when vibrating. I don’t know if it supposed to do that. Never seen any other S9P so I can’t compare. Otherwise all works so I’m happy with it.

                                    @jugger same here. I think it’s because the construction of the watch, I guess? 🤷🏻‍♂️

                                      @jugger Same here. The vibration is quite noisy.
                                      I like it better then the S9B vibration

                                        The same with my watch. In comparison with S9B, vibration on S9P is audible and a little noisy. I was suprised and worried about it, but based on your responses, it seems it’s normal.

                                          @orzechszek yes seems normal, at least for some watches. For me little bit noisy. Not 100% a premium feel.

                                            for me is also a little annoying. As you said - not a premium feeling 🙂 , but my S9B is already sold, so I must accept that fact. Fortunately it seems it’s not an issue.
