New Smart TRVs micro adjusting a good deal and making noise

I recently set up a a set of smart TRVs and sometimes they micro-adjust a good bit (every few seconds) and I find it a little distracting and annoying in my bedroom, whereas other times they behave 'regularly' and open at the start of the call for heat and then shut at the end of the call for heat. The noisy behavior occurs when I call for heat from both the TRV and the smart thermostat (with the TRV as the slave). Anyone else's smart TRVs micro adjust a good bit and make noise? If so did you ever find a solution?

    They do make slight adjustments from time to time but not, in my experience, every few seconds. Personally I welcome it because I’m reassured the system is working . . .

    @AMannion Welcome. We've not noticed this behaviour in three rooms where we have the wireless temperature sensor and TRV.

    To clarify - the wireless temperature sensor acts as the (default) temperature measurement sensor and the TRV is the slave (doing what it's told). The wireless sensor is more accurate than the TRV, +/- 0.1 deg C versus +/-0.5 deg C.

    When this strange behaviour happens, what do the graphs on the Tado app look like? How many 'bars' (of the 3) are calling for heat?
