Glossary: Spring noise explained simply

Spring noises are the acoustic emissions that can occur during the movement or deformation of a spring. These noises are caused by friction, vibrations or resonances in the spring or neighbouring components. In order to minimise spring noise, a precise spring design, high-quality materials and, if necessary, the use of lubricants or damping elements are required. In many applications, especially in the automotive industry, the control of spring noise is crucial for the comfort and quality of the product.
