machine is too noisy

[banjea]

My machine works fine. and thats my problem. u see i live in a shared flat and getting always complains from my neighbors when i am practicing..
I have thought to construct a plastic case for the machine, hoping this will silence things a bit.
Will it affect my machine in any way?
Will it reduce the noise?
Many thanks..

Give it a shot. I would be a little worried about machine getting hot being closed in like that. Rotaries are pretty quit.

i would say get a rotary machine if it is such a problem.. Other than that i don’t know what else to tell ya , maybe yo can try to wrap a wash cloth around it like a machine bag and use it in short burst to keep from over heating!! Hope this helps cause you need to practice…

Thank you guys so much for your replies!
I have considered to buy a rotary machine, but first i will have to build up the skill to get into that step, i am not that experienced yet.
Also thank you for highlighting the heating issue.. Didn’t thought of that.

I will try to get a case for my machine and provide feedback.
Thanks again.

I haven’t tried it, but I read that if you put 2 layers of masking tape
on the bottom of the abar that it helps to quiet it down. Only use
2 layers or it will affect the maginetism.

Ive done this on a couple of machines for those late nights not wanting to wake up the wife when practicing or doing my leg….yes, it works! :lol:

i usually use non porous medical tape from 3m
put one last on the armature bar just where the front coil hits.

I’ll try this. This seems to be the only easiest solution to lessen the noise from the machine.

supposed to quiet your machine a lot, never tried one though.
