RE: Tripplite Isolator mechanical noise

Today I opened it up to try a couple of fixes. The unit uses two big 120/120 V toroidal transformers stacked with a large bolt holding it together. It seems to me that only one of the TXs is humming, but it is hard to tell for sure. I unbolted the TXs and put some window sealing foam between the bottom TX and the case, and some window putty between the two TXs. I stacked the TXs and tightened the bolt. I then put a DC filter between the on/off switch and the TXs. I put the cover back on and put some dense foam on the bottom of the case. Doesn't seem to be any quieter. Will listen more carefully tonight after the ambient noise decreases. Oh, well. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Any other suggestions are always appreciated.
