Soon after they were installed and started to be set up for calibration, their movements generated excess noise for a tenant below. Isolation of the base of the arms was not feasible or practical, so other forms of noise control were considered. We will review various noise control upgrades for these systems. The noise control included adding significant weight to the hollow pedestals that supported the arms, changing the speed of the arms, and architectural upgrades.", }
