I have one I bought in 2000 and it's pretty quiet. Check to see if maybe it's your quiver if you shoot with one on? Sometimes the arrows in the quiver can wiggle loose, or the field points are loose and will make a lot of noise.Make sure everything is tight, put small limb savers on the quiver, top, sides and back. Also tryan s-coil stabilizer. Don't give up as it is a great bow for the money. Cambo1
