[QUOTE="Jeff_19341, post: 166948"] Hi Likvid The motors are a lump of hollowed metal with a stub sticking out and electronics and gears inside. What else can one say without taking to pieces and/or testing to destruction. I appreciate your problem having to mount your dish on your balcony and any noise generated seems to vibrate or be carried through the structure of the building to other tennants. You have been around long enought to know that with a motor turning a gear train noise will be created. With a ground mount on a building we used to first put down a sheet of rubber and on that a sheet of marine ply board and then the mount on top of that held down by concrete blocks. This insulated the dish and mount and motor from the building structure and hence cut down any noise due to direct contact. The motor itself you could construct a polystyrene box around it to absorb any air bound noise. The only way, in your situation, to eliminate as much noise as posible would be to manually move the dish to individual satellites. [B]JuMbuCk:) [/B] [/QUOTE]
