Tried my dynasty 200dx on AC for the first time and what a racket! Are they really supposed to be that loud? Never thought I needed hearing protection for welding before, but this has me reconsidering.

HOBBYIST,
ALL AC TIG MACHINES "BUZZ" WHILE WELDING. The Dynasty is noisier than some, but it is part of the trade. I always wear ear plugs on AC and feel like something is wrong when I weld with DC. The DC is very smooth and quiet. Fronius makes some TIG inverters that are considerably quieter than anything else on the market. They also carry a HEFTY price tag!

The only AC TIG machines I had used previously, including a synchrowave 250, seemed considerably quieter. More like a bumblebee buzzing, while the dynasty brings to mind something more like a loud buzzer alarm. But if that's normal, I guess that's just the price you pay for the inverter advantages.
