    reduce griot's vibration... flex quieter?

    hey guys! been a while since i posted on here but i wanted to know if any if you know a way to reduce vibration and maybe even the sound of the griot's garage 6" ROP 2nd generation.
    i have the original 6" bp on and 6.5" ccs pads (barely used only like once) and then i have a 5" bp and 6 pads that i didn't use yet.. will the 5" bp make a lot less vibration then the 6"
    anyways .. i got another question! how much quieter is the flex compared to the gg?
    any input appreciated! thank you guys!

    I've personally never heard the gg but if it's anything like the megs or pc, then no the flex isn't much quitter than the gg

    Ear plugs and anti-vibe gloves. It's a good rule of thumb for operating any machinery that creates noise/vibration.

    I agree with this. Compared to my PC, the 3401 is just as loud. I think the 3401 is more of a higher pitched sound though.

    hmm.. i should just make a sound clip of it... its a litttleeee like a pinch quieter than the pc from what i hear!
    and boo... then the flex isnt a huge sound difference in what im looking for.

    i think i may just listen to my new headphones (in ear bose ie2's) and i'll look for anti-vibe gloves!
    thank you!

    they sound really similar and the flex barely had a difference that isn't major (it was made 2 years ago)

    the flex seemed a lot quieter and the pc just sounded annoying and it was made 4 years ago! which one of these would you say is closer to accurate for the flex sound and pc sound users?

    Re: reduce griot's vibration... flex quieter?

    i dont know guys, but my flex is extremely quieter than my PC...and the Flex has almost zero vibration...im still not over the moon with the flex, but it is definitely a better made, high quality machine.

    i can run my flex with no ear protection and hear my stereo...never with my PC.
