How loud a drive is actually perceived depends on several factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Drive type and mechanics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The design noticeably affects the operating noise. <a href=\"https:\/\/ventsystems.de\/en\/product-category\/spindle-drives\/\">Spindle drives<\/a> with self-locking spindle technology, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/ventsystems.de\/en\/product\/vs-sa\/\">VS-SA 2500<\/a>, due to their design, they operate almost silently, as the power transmission takes place without loose chain links. <a href=\"https:\/\/ventsystems.de\/en\/product-category\/chain-drives\/\">Chain drives<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/ventsystems.de\/en\/product-category\/linear-actuators\/\">Linear actuators<\/a> are also designed for continuous use in residential and office buildings, but depending on the power class and opening speed, they cause a quiet but noticeable running noise during opening and closing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Assembly and installation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Proper installation significantly reduces vibration noise: A stable, play-free attachment to the window frame and a suitable <a href=\"https:\/\/ventsystems.de\/en\/product\/vs-la\/\">Hub<\/a> or a suitable power rating prevents the drive from &quot;working&quot; or rattling under load. In the case of the <a href=\"https:\/\/ventsystems.de\/en\/the-installation-situation-as-a-technical-foundation\/\">Installation situation as a technical foundation<\/a> Manufacturer tolerances should therefore be strictly adhered to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Control and operating time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since window motors only run for the brief duration of opening or closing and then remain silently in position, the operating noise is hardly noticeable in everyday life \u2013 unlike, for example, continuously running ventilation systems.
