Hey, I was wondering if the axle would be able to make sound while it’s spinning. The most recent yoyo I purchased came with what looks like a pretty bad axle. It’s a black/brown looking color, and seems to have more movement space inside either half of the yoyo. I was popping a KK in the throw to see if that would have quieted the sound down, but I still got a similar sound. Any suggestions or ideas besides buying another axle? Is it my axle, or am I just losing it today? Thanks in advance! ---

Make sure both halves of the yoyo are screwed in pretty tight. If its a buzzing like noise it’s possible the halves are spinning apart. ---

In theory… The axle shouldn’t make a sound. They should be screwed down tight. Any sound should be coming from the bearing. ---

I wouldn’t throw without such confidence 😛 > [@jhb8426](#): > > In theory… > > The axle shouldn’t make a sound. They should be screwed down tight. Any sound should be coming from the bearing. I had experienced squeaking with one of my other axles, but I found out that was regular. Just wasn’t sure on these circumstances. Maybe I’ll switch axles out from another throw just to try… ---

Lube your bearings if it’s too loud. Some yoyos tend to amplify bearing noise. ---
