in my young days I used I did put banana skins in diffs and gearboxes, short term reduction in noise was immediate, dont think I want a banana in my bevel though, that sounds quite rude!
overall the design and set up and also where it is in relation to where we sit and thiness of body all contribute to the increased bevel noise, something overall we will all just have to live with I guess, but its a good post and maybe someone with a real noisy one should give it a go?
