How do I reduce noise from a sit-stand desk motor?

Motor noise issues at OfficeFurniture2go.com are addressed through a structured diagnostic process. First, we verify calibration—an uncalibrated desk that activates anti-collision logic unnecessarily may produce intermittent clicking or strain sounds. Second, we check fastener torque—column-to-crossbar joints that have loosened transmit vibration as rattling rather than the smooth hum of a well-assembled frame. Third, we evaluate floor coupling: desks on hard tile or wood benefit from rubber foot pads that absorb vibration rather than amplifying it through the floor. Our commercial motors are rated for under 45 dB in normal operation; persistent noise above this level typically indicates a warranty-relevant defect. Call 1-800-460-0858 for technical support.
