Strange sound from front side tire

Kaydon — Wed, 11 Jun 2025 19:21:13 +0800

Hi Sifus,

My car (Honda City '09) has been experiencing some weird sounds coming from the front side, believe from tire area.

It sounds like some washer loosen and hitting into something, but not sure what it is.

It is more prone to happen when the road is a bumpy or uneven and it's louder when I wind down the window. So I believe it should be somewhere close to the tire.

Went to the workshop, the mechanic took a drive but he said couldn't really hear it.

Instead he felt my suspensions is not really in good shape as he went over humps and suggested to change.

Personally I wish to resolve the sound issue 1st, instead of changing the suspension and in the end still unable to resolve my initial problem.

I have managed to record the sound and attach here.. pls try to ignore the wind sounds as I tried to record it with the window winded down.

Hope sifus here can provide some recommendation or insight..

Thanks a bunch guys..

Maxis Fibre Installation

Kaydon — Tue, 04 Jun 2024 19:19:10 +0800

Hi guys..

Just wish to get some input, I recently renovated my house and have the fiber cables concealed, however the fiber terminal outlets was not installed - Picture 1.

Was told by my contractor that the service provider will help with installing this terminal outlets (which I think may be true as at my previous house when I registered for Unifi, they pulled the cable and install the terminal port).

But does this also apply for Maxis (registered for Maxis fiber)? Or do I require to have Unifi guys come over to install the terminal ports 1st ya?

Below is my current, where the fiber cables are just out from the wall - Picture 2

Thanks all sifus..

[WTB][WTA] Yamaha DGX-230

Kaydon — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 20:24:33 +0800

Hi Fellow musicians,

I am looking for a keyboard, something like the Yamaha DGX-230. A new one would cost me a bomb, so I was thinking of seeking for alternative..
Which is 2nd hand/Used..

If there's anyone interested of letting go, please do let me know, as I am quite interested.

However, of course it should be in tip top condition la.. I mean I would like to use it for quite a long while..

I'm currently having an old Casio, just 60+ keys and does not have touch tone, so would like an upgrade.. =)

Thanks a bunch.

Regards,
Kaydon

Kaydon — Sun, 06 Feb 2011 19:12:26 +0800

Hi Fellow Musicians,

I was reading some reviews for a digital keyboard and came to this Yamaha YPG-635 keyboard. I was wondering if this model is available over in Msia?
I tried to look at the Yamaha Msia link but there isn't for this model.

Below is the link for the piano. Any idea?
Thanks

[WTA] Windows Vista Upgrade to Windows 7 Criteria

Kaydon — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 16:32:47 +0800

Hi Sifus out there,

I have a quick question regarding the new Windows 7. I am currently having a laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium edition that comes with my laptop during purchase.

Question i have is that, as it comes with my laptop, it does not come with the original Windows Vista CD (although i have the original Vista sticker on the bottom of my laptop)
Now, I was thinking of upgrading it to Windows 7 Home edition.

1) Which version should I purchase? (Upgrade / Full) ?

2) During upgrade does the software require me to insert the Windows Vista CD as proof of authentication?

3) What should I do, if in future I would like to format my laptop. Can I install Windows 7? Or i have to install Vista then only upgrade again?(Not sure how the product key will be used)

I am not so sure how the process works especially for Q3.

Thanks for help guys..

come and share ur view on how u set ur equalizers.. i have come to know that there are separate equalizer programs as well.. share ur thoughts here...

if possible put in a screenshot of ur equalizers then we can analyze and see which 1 sounds the best

now i noe each individual have a different taste on how they like their sound to be..
but no fear.. this is just a general discussion.. all p.o.v's are accepted
