🎧 What You’re Hearing Is Normal

When using your ETENWOLF inflator, you may notice a change in tone or sound as it nears the preset pressure value.
This is completely normal and part of the device's smart inflation process.

 


πŸ”„ Why the Tone Changes

These inflators are designed with intelligent pressure control. As the tire pressure approaches the preset target, the inflator automatically reduces airflow speed to deliver more precise inflation.

Here's what happens:

  • The device slows down as it nears the target PSI.

  • This reduces motor load and prevents overshooting the pressure.

  • The change in motor tone is a direct result of this transition.

This adjustment is intentional and ensures both accuracy and safety during inflation.

 


πŸ“Š Noise Levels by Model

For your reference, approximate operating noise levels are:

Model Approx. Noise Level
Zephyr S3 78 dB
Zephyr S5 81 dB
Vortex S6 78 dB
Vortex S6E 78 dB
Vortex S7 78 dB

These values may vary slightly depending on usage environment and pressure level.


βœ… No Action Needed

This tone change is:

  • Expected

  • Safe

  • A feature, not a flaw

It's part of the system’s built-in design to ensure accurate results and prevent over-inflation.
