In my case, the noise only lasts about 1 to 2 minutes. During this time, it cleans the wipers and pads and probably sucks the vacuumed dirt out of the bag. Then the cleaning phase ends and the appliance remains silent... Maybe the entrance to the dock is a bit cramped and the robot has problems parking and doesn't dock correctly?
No. When the dust container is vacuumed into the dust bag after returning to the base station, it makes a brief noise. The mop pads are then dried, but this is quiet and not disturbing.
