(Q) My regulator is making a funny noise, should I be worried?

(A) Humming or whistling from the regulator: Outside temperature, barometric pressure and the gas level within the tank may cause the rubber diaphragm inside the regulator to vibrate, making a humming or whistling sound. Although this sound may be alarming this is not dangerous as long as it is not accompanied by the smell of gas. If the humming sound persists a change in atmospheric conditions will eventually stop the vibration. You can also try only opening the valve about a half turn.
