Installed this for my brother in his brand new Star Trek Pro, is a Stern shaker motor from the Game Room Guys.

Everything installed beautifully, I zip tied all the molex connectors at the front of the cab out of the way so they weren't resting on the plastic housing. Despite all that, once the game get's going, every time the shaker motor fires, you here a plastic buzzing sound. I've checked the plastic housing, and it is firmly seated on the shaker motor with the two provided screws. There is absolutely no play in the housing. At this point, all I can figure is the shaker arms are somehow buzzing against the plastic housing.

Is this a normal problem when installing these Stern motors?

Fabiofpc, I zip tied them out of the way. There was absolutely nothing touching the plastic enclosure.
