AIBU to want to return a 'whistling' iron?

[Apolloanddaphne]

I bought a new iron yesterday after my old one died. I used it this morning and discovered it makes an annoying whistling sound when you lift it upright after ironing. Every single time. It sounds like there is a budgie living in it and is bloody irritating, especially as i like to iron in front of the TV. In every other way it is great.

Do you think i could/should return it? Would they allow me to return it for this? AIBU or not?

My died recently as well. Please send it to me

Isn’t it just the steam escaping?

It is the steam escaping but it is a loud , piercing whistle rather than a hiss. I have been ironing for many years with a variety of irons and none have made this noise.

@mycatismeowican You are welcome to it!

Well i can't return it anyway as DH tells me he has taken the box to the recycling place already!
