I'm thinking of sticking some felt pads on the back to reduce the noise. Is there a flat spot on the back where I could stick them?

Nope.Its not flat and its kind of hallow. The product was so badly designed, The moment the ball hits the board (which holds the basket) the links which you use to adjust the height will break loose and you end up assemble everything again. I have applied a tape to hold the links and the hook that holds the entire unit. Another bad design, if your kid applies little force on the basket, the lock which hold the basket in its position will break loose and it gets locked in the downward position and you have apply force to bring it back (which is not easy) to its position and there is no easy way or lock release to bring it back to correct position.

No it is just an open back. My kids love this hoop. They spend hours playing and the noise is not that bad. I guess maybe on the door you could put felt or something to in the area the back would hit. Hope this helps!

I agree with Suryanarayana - it's a hollowed-out plastic design and the edges aren't wide enough to attach felt to to put an end to the noise. A significant portion of the noise is generated when the hoop comes away from the hanging surface, as the motion of the ball making it through the basket sways the backstop. My suggestion? Amazon has another over-the-door hoop right now, give it a try.

No, the backs are completely flat. You can probably attach something though.

I had the same problem. I ended up sticking those sponge like stickers that you can get from dollar markets. If you don't like the idea, you can put small fabrics inbetween it, it helps with the noise, but they will still end up moving around.

yep. I've found that a tiny adjustment to the resistance will make the noise go away. I think it's just a result of something rubbing on something else, probably will get smoother as you break it in.

The last half inch or so will kind of snap shut and make some noise. However, you you can put on some of the quiet pads and that will soften the sound somewhat. Hope this helps.

I don't see a noticeable low spot on mine but would think you could do one in the corner or center of the back

I don't like this has a spot. I think you can get a Matt type thing that you can put underneath the pad

Yes, they are open back (people around you can hear what your listening too and you can hear them) and have soft velvet pads. In some cases, it might be too tactile for some though... but not for me. Honestly, my M50's get hot, but they have more SPL and are closed (so my colleagues can't hear my trance EDM).

They may help a bit with vibration (but just a bit) but are not likely to help with the noise. Good luck

Theres a sticky pad on the back of the door bell. The speaker part has a little notch in the back. I hung it on a thumb tack. Sticky pad doesn't come off real clean though, so don't put it on paint.

Yeah, I removed them on mine so I could use softer pads. A small piece of marble came off with each though, the adhesive they used was pretty strong.

Not suppose to be there at all. It should be quiet. Unless the volume is maxed it shouldn't do this at all.

A pad would be recommended. Simply because it will protect the floor as well dampen the noise. It is a very quiet machine but the extra padding will be helpful.

I have one of my 5 fans on my receiver, so it is laying flat. So far, I have not hear any noise or vibration of any kind. Only time will tell.

Yeah that's where I had mine. I would put on the side that folds inward with the least amount of interference to you when driving just so amp can get more air, not much circulation in the trunk and keeps amp from getting too hot.

you could just not install them and the stands would lay flat for the most part my polk monitor 40s sit fine on them with no spikes on cement. For wood I'd put the felt pads on the holes to not scratch =)

Hi...i had a different problem...my sound was like the pads were glued in the rotors after some breaking times the noise went away. I keep the kit installed and this noise disappeared after couple months of use but this disappointed me. I expect a better performance but its a nice kit!
