I’m so glad to read these comments here. As I said that 2 years ago, they said all sorts of things, just not admitting that it makes noises in it’s normal state. At that time i was bullied even here in the forum because I was posting here about the noise problem.
Thank you that I’m not the only one who is annoyed about those sounds.
Meanwhile I know that it is because of the bad ffb of the games. When trying a sinus wave on wheelchek, on different frequencies with 100% output, no noises can be heard and the whole room vibrates. In games, with the smallest vibrations, it sounds like porcelain.
I hope for a filter, like the slew rate limit, that only reacts to the peaks of every impulse so that the entire ffb is converted into a softer signal without losing its acceleration on the entire ffb. Like, slew rate with editable duration in ms for every impulse. Because the problem lies precisely there, the too direct ffb is not only unrealistic, it also causes exactly this noise.
Until then i will enjoy the base as it is.
Nicsos, I told you pretty clearly early in the discussion the sounds were normal sounds, not any fault of the servo, especially so considering the raw settings you were running back then. You were indicating something was broken in your motor, I simply told you it was standard sounds and limitations from the sims, with the servo replicating what the setpoints were telling it.
No bullying was involved from my memory, but probably a bit of frustration from some members here when you went off on your own tangent, even posting some videos about the so-called problems? Maybe I am confusing you with someone else, but I usually have a good memory regarding these things.
My apologies in advance if I am thinking about someone else though. I saw however that you are having fun with your system though ? You fully settled down with your wheel, found good working settings, or? Answering to your expectations?
Beano, yes you were the first one who told me that those noises are normal. You also gave me a professional answer about the noises on your yt channel.
Unfortunately, many other users were of the opinion that the base made no noise, which unsettled me whether my base was broken. As you can read here in this post, there are still users who claim that the base is mice quiet. If you read something like that and buy the base, you will get the surprise.
Probably i’m wrong, but i want to believe that one day this problem will be completely fixed so that we can play without that metallic hiss from the base.
The problem is, that you can feel this metallic hissing, which i still haven’t understood where it comes from, right down to your hands. The lighter the steering wheel, the more it’s transferred to the hands.
I still read too often, super quiet, super smooth and no noise. So I’m glad that there are others like me who are bothered by these little details. Because in this way we can stimulate the developers to perfect the product.
For the moment it is as it is and i’m enjoying my base with the best possible configuration. Personally, i solved it with recon on 7-9 and added two additional buttkicker LFE. These give the illusion of recovering the filtered out details.
Thank you for your helpfulness, that’s very much appreciated.
Ha, glad you found something that worked for you, nothing as disappointing as buying high-end gear and your experience isn’t great.
Having a fair discussion over at iRacing about ffb rates, but there won’t be changes in that department for many years the way I read it, happy to stand corrected though. So yes, for things like road-surface, etc, we need to supplement with shakers, as they are not forwarding that information, other than twisting-force mostly, to the wheel.
So the noise around the Center and the associated graininess you feel in iRacing is directly related to the lower ffb update rates, as is the low-frequency oscillations you experience. Of course both issues can be filtered out, at the risk of making a bland signal even more bland.
But anyway, have fun, Nicsos, we’re here if you need to bump ideas, take care that side.
Cheers,
Beano

Recon 9 will kill most of FFB, don’t know where it would be useful tbh
It’s a motor, running at fast rpms and high torque. Taking this into consideration it’s just normal. Don’t worry

but i like recon 4-5 setting 
now indo not care about this small sound but it always reminds me why there is such sound maybe something working wrong
