Minor thing I have noticed on a few I have installed recently.
When you first fire up the 50 I know it is fairly noisy and then it recedes as it loads. One in particular is still fairly loud - it was installed a week ago. Any feed back appreciated. Should I be concerned?
 
My test BCM 50 release 2 system is in my garage and this system is normally only noisy on power up as you have described. However during the recent hot weather, I did notice that the unit was noisy, but has since gone back to normal. Check the alarms for any reported errors.

Also check that there is plenty of space around the unit for the air to flow. I usually prefer NOT to have any add on units joined together for this reason.

All the best
