Default Club Car 200a solenoid too loud

Hi everyone- I got an upgrade kit for my old Club Car from ScottyB a few months ago and I love it- but the solenoid is awfully loud.

It’s been this way since the beginning. It makes a harsh click whenever I start and stop.

Has anyone ever tried “insulating” a solenoid?

Thanks
Luke

If that was an HD solenoid that is normal. 400 amp is even a little louder.

Never tried to sound insulate one....

It’s a 200 amp. And it’s screaming loud!

Yes. And it’s mounted straight to the Aluminum frame. I can see why it’s loud. I just didn’t know if anyone’s experimented with “quieting” them.

Maybe try some 1/8" gasket material behind it, but most of the sound is coming from the internal operation of it......
