Hello, I recently purchased a used vista flame 2008. when its running it will come out with a ringing sound it does not last long, about a minute or so, it may do this two or three times in 5 or 6 hrs of running, It willl make the noise even in shut down mode, so iam lead to believe its not the feed auger, anyone have this problem before, its not so much a big deal, I am just curious,being new to pellet stoves.

Could be the bearings room fan. I have an Enviro, pretty much the same burn engine. The room fan rings a little bit now and then, and that's not a good sign. Take out the fan and clean it real good, get the crud off the fins and blow the dust bunnies out of the case. There are 2 D-shaped oil ports on the fan, put 2 drops of oil into each port. Use the blue label 3-in-1 for electric motors. If the ringing goes away, think about saving up for a new fan.

Yes, you should have one on hand. Just search the web for "vistaflame convection gasket" and you''ll find plenty of vendors.

One more thing - download the Enviro service manual. There's a page in there with nice photos showing the oil ports, and removal of the blower. You'll want to have this manual around for future reference. I wish all service manuals were this helpful.
