HI,what can I hear from the stove? The song is very good but I think the stove dont play this song again and again.

When my thermostat calls for heat, several things happen at once. First, the combustion fan comes on which draws air in through small holes in the burn pot. Second, the auger motor start to turn and slowly deposit pellets into the burn pot.  Third, an electric igniter located beside a slot in the burn pot begins to glow red hot to ignite the pellets dropped into the burn pot. You can hear the pellets dropping and the combustion fan blowing and that's it.

@SomthingnotRight the thing about pellet stoves is that there is a constant heat all the time where with a wood stove it can get really hot and then it cools down. You can run your pellet stove on high and get alot of heat but you will burn alot more pellets that way. I turn it up in the morning to take the chill out then after about 15 mins turn it back down and were all good and toasty warm.
