The motor of the music box does produce some noise. However, every unit undergoes a full functional inspection before shipping, including checks for unwanted sounds, so all units meet our shipping standards. Regrettably, the motor noise cannot be completely eliminated.
Motor noise is indeed one of the current challenges for Muro Box. At present, the only way to reduce motor noise is to lower the motor speed through the app. The default factory setting is 85% speed. When the speed is reduced, the motor noise also decreases, but the rhythm of the music may become slightly unstable, giving it a “swing-like” feeling. Therefore, adjustments must be made based on actual usage.
The mechanical design of the N20/N40 music boxes has already reached its current structural limit. Although the motor sound can be heard, during playback it is not as prominent behind the melody. This is also part of the unique characteristic of a mechanical music box being “alive.”
