Recently installed a PS35 in my home. It is running as we speak and have questions concerning noises it makes. I hear a rumble that I am sure is air related. The rumble is intermittent and not just at start up. I hear the pellets as they fall down the shoot, but occasionally I hear what I would describe as a thud or maybe a crack. This takes place while feeding I think. Do I have some major problem or am I over thinking the whole deal. From what I have read here, the rumble sounds pretty common, but the other noise doesn't appear to have been addressed here or I just haven't looked hard enough.

Thanx for your reply, I will fiddle with feed rate some more. As for the thud, while I think it is associated with the pellet feed operation,I don't think it is simply some pellets breaking in two. The sound is pretty loud. Is it possible that pellets jam the auger somewhat and the sound I hear is the auger popping free? LOL I just realized that popped is the word that best describes the sound, and I couldn't think of it last night.
Thanx for your input, I adjusted the feed rate and will monitor to see what effect it has on the rumble
