I just got a Chin Spin yesterday and chins took to it pretty quickly. Today my husband sent me a video of them using it, and commented on how loud it was. I thought that he was exaggerating. When we installed it I turned it quite a bit and it was silent. Well I am home now, and I am downstairs watching TV, and I can hear it over the TV. I checked and it's not the cage rattling, and I don't see it rubbing on anything. I'm not sure why it's squeaking so loudly. How do I quiet it down?
 
If its squeaking I would suggest its the bearing is dry and needs greasing. with any bearing use grease(as long as the chin cant get to it).
 
If you have a ferret nation, I found that putting it on the longer side of the cage vs the short side actually made mine quieter.

A lot of the noise was the cage even though I thought it was the wheel.
