I painted the sides of my case with some of that rubber type of paint like goes on a roof. That helped a lot as far as noise goes. With the side off, it can be a bit noisy but with it on, there is almost no noise. It dampens the metal so that it can't let the vibrations of the noise through the sides. My top and bottom are pretty strong anyway so they do all right. Dale :-) :-)
