    Hello guy's!
    I do a lot of recherché here. and maby i will wil start soon with my project.
    But i have 1 big question;

    Every time i see a video, i hear a lot of noise from the actuators.
    My question is, can you tell me how load it realy is?
    Because in most of the video's, the camera is beside the actuators.
    When i play in my room, will my wife wake up from the noise in the chamber beside me?
    Because i play i lot in the night.

    Thanks for your answers!
    Sorry for my bad English.
    Dave, Antwerp

    I dont know how good or bad your wife sleeps, and how thick your walls are.

    But you probably should use some damping for the rig, to minimize the vibrations applied to the floor to prevent your wife killing you from behind at night :lol:

    regards
