I dont hear that howling anymore so assuming Currie sets up their center sections correctly, I believe some gear manufacturers make better quality or maybe tend to have a quieter mesh.

Yes the noise is a bit like that. Present on the over run. Interesting that the heavier
oil helped which is where my post started. Thanks John.
