Quoted from Marty_Graw77:Understood, but this is REALLY loud. Did you watch the video? Yes the glass is off, but you can hear how it’s drowning out the music/sounds. I’ve played a few Congos in the past and have never heard anything like this before.
That sounds like the post is "chattering" under normal AC frequency (60 Hz). Looking at the diagram in the manual (page 2-25) it looks like the spring might be the issue if it is there to suppress the vibration.
Does your mechanism look like the one in the manual, including the spring?
Try activating the post during a test, with the playfield up. Push / poke the post and see if that stops the noise - not a cure, but you might learn what is causing it.

Quoted from Mikespinball:From what I know a Pinsound board and their shaker combination should be able to shake whenever you want it to and how much. It's an adjustment/addition to the soundtrack you are using. Not sure how to, but I believe there is instructions on their website.
Correct. I have put pinsound in 7 machines, and 4 with shakers (though not with Congo yet). You'll need to program the shaker to do what you want for each sound that needs an added "shake" associated with it. The volcano eruption is a natural for this, or the hippos, or the satellite, or rapids in the video modes, or...
If you set this up with yours, be sure to upload it to the Pinsound website so others can enjoy your work!
