Case buzzing sound

[ringo]

I have problem with my case Fractal define R5. After some time it started buzzing. When I put finger on it buzzing stopped. I think that sound is coming from HDD cage. Also when side panel is removed there is no buzzing sound, so I think that HDD vibrates and vibration goes to side panel. When dust filter is removed buzzing continius so they are no problem. Any recommendation how to fix? Where can I put some adhesive foam or something to stop buzzing? I just testd it for two days so I am not sure about all facts.

Find out exactly where its coming from. Probably the side panel screws.

I had this issue, it means your HDD isn't screwed down tight enough. I just tightly taped it to the side to stop the buzzing.

Side panel with and without screws still buzzes. I will test it better in the next few days than I will report here with a facts.

Today I tested with side panel removed. No buzzing sound, only maybe a little buzzing when I put my ear on a close distance near hdd cage. My hdds in cage are rotated by 180 degree, they connection is on a left side on the panel, ussualy on the internet pictures is on the right side of case. No hdd cage rotation, only hdds. Could that cause buzzing? Tomorrow testing continuous.

I fixed this. Fractal told me to put screws in HDD cage. I find some screws but they are not completly in. In my hometown I visit all the stores and I can`t find screws that matches like this. Some screws from ebay?

So was it the hard drive sick buzzing to the cage?

 

And be careful not to over tighten those screws. That hole is flimsy and can strip easily.

Yes source was my 2 HDD and HDD cage. Because of them and cage design side panel was vibrating and creating buzzing sound. Anyone with recommendation for screws from ebay??
