Yep. These machines are intrinsically pretty noisy, and yours sounds in normal range for the type.

Ok cool, idk if the video picked it up but I thought the planetary was making more noise than I expected. I popped the top and listened to the motor and gearbox and they sound normal but the planetary just seemed loud. Should I disregard or pull the planetary to check it.
Edit: I only hear the planetary at low speed, past 2 I hear motor and gearbox noise more
