Vibrations have many different causes, in many cases if they are not fixed, will not only get worse, but can also lead to breakdowns, product failure, cracks & collapses (in buildings & windows).
Main causes of vibrations (buzzing, banging, squeaking, rattling) include: - Imbalances in moving parts. - Loose screws & rivets. - Wear & Tear, as motors, products or machinery age, parts wear out or wear down, causing friction, which leads to grinding, that then leads to vibration. - Gaps in between the two surfaces that aren't supposed to, but come into contact.- Expansion and contraction with heat causes machinery not to operate at optimum levels. Buildings lose shape , leading to un even fitting- Doors and windows, then in turn are slammed, & the list goes on.
