Dyson DC33 VERY LOUD noise on some carpets?

Thank you for your answer and I do realise the boys are using this excuse but as they are both over 6ft in height and I am a mere 5ft 6ins I don't stand much of a chance getting them to do it do I .. lol

If you block the inlet on a vacuum cleaner no air can get in - the load on a vacuum cleaner motor is air. With no air to shift the motor has no work to do - runs faster - makes a louder and higher-pitched sound.

Many cleaners have a control that reduces the suction - the issue you have is with the rugs that block the inlet rather than with the cleaner itself - it appears to be working properly.

On a social note you very probably have an issue with the two boys - at their age they should really not be scared of a noisy vacuum - I suspect that they're fooling you and using the noise as an excuse to get out of housework.

Good luck...
