I love the way my iCEBERG plays but I’ll be darned if it’s not the noisiest throw I own. I’m not allowed to play it when my wife is home 
The light blue with silver might be a favorite color of this yoyo I’ve seen yet.
The purple is love, and the ice blue silver rims, and ice blue rainbow rims are lovely too
This is why I no longer own an iceberg… I really like the play and look though. Plays so well and these new colors look so nice I might reconsider.
Surely that’s just a matter of changing the bearing?
Maybe because of the design of the plastic acting as a megaphone?
I’ve tried to no avail 
I think you’re right. It’s really the only hybrid I have, so I don’t have anything to compare it to though.
My ultimate solution has been to make it my work throw. Nobody cares in the parking lot at lunch time!
Nope. Tried and tried again.
It’s this I think 
Speedaholic xx has a similar sound, but not as loud.
Most of my high-end hybrids exhibit this noisy phenomenon. I’ve found I can damp it down a bit with lube, but that only goes so far. Still, the iCEBERG is an excellent yoyo, and my second favorite hybrid I own. The red/silver colorway reigns supreme!
What’s the first
C3 Gamma Crash.
It is a loud as you remember. Lol
I guess the grinding scraping sound is somewhat ice like though???
Yes I think I even heard a fog horn, during one trick.
