Can an AC solenoid experience burn out and produce noise?

An AC solenoid can indeed experience burnout and produce noise, making the statement true. A solenoid operates by generating an electromagnetic field when electric current passes through it, which causes it to move a plunger or rod. If the solenoid is subjected to conditions such as overheating, excessive voltage, or prolonged use without adequate cooling, the coil can overheat and potentially burn out. This can happen regardless of the solenoid's age or frequency of use.

In terms of noise, a solenoid can produce sounds due to mechanical vibrations and the motion of its internal components. When a solenoid operates inefficiently or begins to fail, it may emit unusual noises as parts may loosen or wear out. Therefore, both burnout and noise are legitimate concerns with AC solenoids, establishing the correctness of the statement that it can experience these issues.
