"Motor" noise
Motor noise is attributable to multiple factors:
Currie motors - planetary gear reduction - eZip, iZip etc
Planetary gears = noticeable meshing noise, helical gears provide continuous contact reducing "noise", lubrication helps further
(Shifting cover when tightening gear reduction cover can tighten or loosen gear contact)
Bearing noise = negligible unless bearings damaged by tight chain or extreme wear
Chain noise = always a factor, reduced by a sprung idler sprocket or roller
Sprocket noise = very loud-rough, - badly aligned sprockets force a snagging or twisting as chain contacts sprocket
