Results of investigation: upon communicating with the customer, it was discovered that the tubing had a weak spot, causing it to kink when the cover was closed, resulting in the backflow and associated sound.The customer corrected the issue by pressing on the weak spot and carefully securing the cover while holding the tubing in place, which resolved the problem.Without the tubing returned for evaluation, pictures, or videos of the tubing, the cause of the weak spot cannot be determined.
