Electric Baseboard Heaters that don't Ping like crazy?

Are there any Electric baseboard heaters that don't ping like crazy everytime they cycle on and off?

I assume that they ping like that because the metal on the fins is so thin that it makes that pinging noise that drives me nuts!

Maybe its because I used to listen to loud music when I was younger, but I don't think they used to be so noisy!?

I only need two heaters 750W 240V

Very common thing for those baseboards to make the ticking noise.

I'd suggest the Softheat from Cadet. It's an fluid filed baseboard, and will be like hot water heat.

Thanks Jay,
Those look good, but a little out of my price range!
I did a search and found these. (not trying to spam anyone here)
2543W Qmark Residential Baseboard Heater - 2,558 BTU

does anyone have any experience with these heaters? are they really quiet like they say in the description?

thx

Never been around those, but they say they are quiet.. Maybe see if they got something in writing to stand by it if it does makes noise..

True, the other stuff are expensive. But gives you the best comfort. If that not an issue and just noise, then go with what you found.
