No clue as to how it could have happened[:@]

my experience with noise and vibration is very good to say the least. my bt general was always doing something odd, + i was a tech. at an automotive dealership, so my earsand feel are keen. what i will do, isstart eliminating things one by one. start with your bolts and tighten everything down. everyone on the whole bow. then, by process of elimination, start removing stuff one at a time, testing to see if the noise is different after removing. it helps alot, andalot of times it will be something totally random. my string tamer caused me an hours grief one day on my general, b/c i thought there was no way that could be it.

sucks to hear that you axle is pushed out and cam is off! make sure you check the axle before you put it back together b/c shooting it while not positioned "could have" caused it to bend.

as far as quieting the speed bows down, the 82nd and 101st arent quiet at all imo. ive been around tons of airbornes even before i had mine and theywere all loud to me. i just got used to it. the make up for the stealth shot in speed is the way i look at it. if my arrow is projected at a deer at 300 fps, than im willing to bet he wont have time to move due to noise. i killed two deer withmy loud 101st this year, adn neither jumped the string and one wasfully alert. the way i see it is, in hunting speed and noise cancel eachother out at a certain point.
