I got a comment that the repeater mechanism was noisy. I think it's running as it should but what are your thoughts, based on your experience with repeaters?

I agree it sounds too noisy. BUT, I believe it is being amplified when you recorded the video of it. I just turned on my Alva with the repeater and took video with my phone. It runs fairly quiet but when I watch the video of it, it sounds way more noisy. The recording amplifies the treble.

I agree completely. By note of comparison, I also sell bird box and bird cage automatons. When making videos, the mechanisms always sound noisier than in person.
