Is it a hyper or a hyper v2 - because the v2 , with the plastic side screws in the top, is a lot quieter than the older version.

Yeah that's a possibility if it is the v2

How old is it and has it ever been dropped, or serviced?

Hyper V2 normally runs with little noise.I have 3 Have you tried lubricating the sides of the platic slider where the rod that takes the grommet is? There should be lubricant and instructions if the machine was new and boxed

mine has a wierd whining sound. its not loud, just has a wierd hum to it. I broke it down, lubed it, still the same. it works perfectly fine. in fact its probably still one of my favorites.

Ok so i put more super lube on the slider and there is less noise , so maybe thats all in needed (feal a bit silly :) as its a no brainer to lube it but as i got it new thought it would be fine straight out of the box) its still not as quiet as i thought it would be but tattooed for 3.5 hrs today with it and just realy nice to work with ,love it .
I did notice that there is a little play between the slider and the slider casing where you lube it , is that normal ?
