Unwanted noises are usually caused by improperly controlled relative motion between components. There are four means to prevent noises after component replacement or repair.

    • Attach the components securely so there is no relative motion during operation.
    • Separate the components so there is no contact under normal operating conditions.
    • Insulate the components so no sound occurs with relative motion between the surfaces.
    • Provide a low friction surface to eliminate a stick slip motion.
