Titan Reg makes flutter noise

Titan Reg makes flutter noise when breathing. Does this indicate a problem? It's my rental unit for OW dive class.

Mine does the same thing so does my Legend.

Thanks good to know. One less think to focus on.

I just rented th same thing while i was getting my equipment serviced, and i had the same problem. the problem comes from bad equipment service, and/or noone taking care of the equipment. to get rid of the flutter, just breath it really fast and hard before diving...it should get the reg back in tune.

My Conshelf SE2 did that when I tried it today, and I was a little worried about it.
But then I figured that the worst thing that could happen was that it would malfunction underwater and I would drown and then I wouldn't have to worry about it anymore.

But as long as it's not something major, well, then, that's one less worry for me.

Thanks!

EDIT: Uh-oh. I tried the breathing-really-fast-and-hard thing, and it didn't work. Now I'm starting to worry again, because even if it isn't dangerous, it is becoming extremely annoying. The reg makes a loud buzzing noise and vibrates when I breathe in. What should I do? Should I give my LDS a call? I have never used this reg since I bought it.

It sounds like your second stage is not tuned properly. I'm a service tech and one of my many, and my first regulator, was an Aqualung Titan LX Supreme. Anyway if the second stage isn't tuned properly ( meaning it's not allowing enough air flow ) you will get that vibrating sound off of the diaphram. Take it to your LDS and they should be able to fix it in a couple of minutes.

Used it last weekend at Monterey. Noise is gone. Don't know why. Glad it's gone.
