See video below for example of the noise. Sounds like something is caught in the fan but nothing obvious.

Same here. See vid. Sounds like something stuck in fan but cant find it :/

could this be the bearings?
someone on youtube suggested screwing on the little metal part that the wheels connects to
see here (last faq / image with the holes - it says to put powerful glue there) - anyone did that? support.garmin.com/.../
I opened the casing, could not find what is causing this... my neighbor is very unhappy with this noise
Also note the strategic cooling fan bolted on with duct tape ;) the poor thing overheats on long climbs in zwift with high watt / low rpm
any hints would be appreciated, I really cant afford a neo2t
I have the same issue. Put thousands of miles on the turbo over lockdown and it’s now measuring around 85db. I’m anticipating complaints from neighbours
Check the resistance unit casing which is in two parts with tabs holding them together, the halves can become misaligned if knocked or handled and only a slight misalignment will cause a loud noise then the unit turns
I raised a case with support - they are offering me a resistance unit (motor) replacement at ~80% of the new price (the trainer is outside warranty at 3,5 years). Not happy, but still better than any of the alternatives
lets see how this plays out
Thanks. The casing appears to be aligned but can notice that what I’m presuming is a metal flywheel that holds the magnets (?) is slightly out of true.
looked into the epoxy fix as the metal runner clicks a bit if pressed. Epoxy will arrive today and I’ll give it a go.
For what it is, the turbo does it’s job. I was going to buy a flux s last year but was pretty impatient and picked this up. Would much rather spend money on a new set of wheels
