My Vixen GPDX with Skysensor 2000 seems quiet, until you start a GoTo slew in the deadly silence of 1:00am. Then, it is very noticeable due to the incredible quietness and tranquility that the wee hours of the morning bring.
To ensure my neighbours remain undisturbed, I reduce the slew rate from x1200 sidereal to x500 which makes it almost whisper quiet. I can still hear the slews locally, but the noise does not propagate beyond the garden fence.
Cheers
Dennis
