I have shot, setup, & tuned a couple of AlphaMax bows. They are a very nice Bow indeed. 2 of the ones I worked on, I ended up changing out the stock suppressor for a Custom MeanV Hoyt OEM replacement at the owners request. It made a very noticeable difference.

I have sold several of the Hoyt rpl. models and Feedback is very positive.

I suppose you still have the shox silencer in the string? You might also try positioning it in different locations to see if that will help.

A cheap fix is to cut the factory rubber stop off with a utility knife, then super glue a Sims Recurve Ultra Limbsaver in it's place. Big difference in noise.

Then, take those Hoyt string silencers out of the string, and install some Tru Ball Spyder Speed Silencers.......or have a bow shop install some brass nocks at your string ends near the cam.

Well problem solved i took an allen wrench to it and tightened everything down that had to do with the string suppressor and its silent now very little noise and none from the string suppressor whatsoever.
