It becomes an almost silent gentle whirring, like you'd expect from a disk console. When I don't apply the pressure, the sound produced is a loud, whiny vibration that I can't stand. How do I fix this problem? At the moment I am having to rest one foot on the DC while I play. (Tried heavy objects but they slide off.) Thanks.

	Tee hee.............keep runnin
