Is there any way to avoid the screeching sound of chrome against the metal shower rod as I glide my curtain across? Hurts my ears.

Mine are installed on a plastic rod, but I have similar ones ousted Mine are installed on a plastic rod, but I have similar ones on a metal rod. The little balls roll across the rod and I don't hear a screech on the metal one. Is there a place where the ring touches the rod other than where the little balls travel?

I'm sorry but I have no idea. It definitely does make that sound. Maybe try plastic hooks??

I can hear it in the bathroom right below the fan and in the hallway outside the bathroom. It is not a loud noise, but like a humming noise. I did not use any rubber pads to reduce the noise when attaching the fan to the wooden frame. That might reduce the noise further. Hope this helps.

When I installed mine, there was terrible wind flapping noise at highway speed. In order to fix this, I had to cut off the rubber flap at the front of the bed cover (near the back window). Since I have done that, it is perfect.

i am not a professional installer.. what i would do is cut a small slit on the back side of the curtain and buy a corner support which is like a hook with along body that screws into the wall...then slip the hook into the fabric pocket under the rod and that should do it. hope that helps

Mine is mounted on drywall using drywall anchors. Also, I have two cloth shower curtains on the rod and there is no strain at all. Hope this helps.

As a temporary curtain (for garage side door), I hung a bath towel on my magnetic rod. The one side has a strong magnet, but the other side is a bit weak. So I solved the problem by putting a loose magnet below the weak side and it supports just fine.

Hi , i would personally suggest you to get a different rod. These tend to sag in between after sometime. They also fell on my head :(

I had a similar idea for hanging mine, and spent a lot of time walking the aisles at Home Depot for ideas. In the end I hung it in a less desirable location where the opening was flush. I used ikea window curtain hanging hardware and rods because that's what I had on hand. It is far from ideal, but it does ok at dampening the noise and is reasonably easy to pull up from a lower part of one side and hook to a hole on the other side. Can't really slide it open because it's too thick. The trickiest thing I have found is trying to find ways to get it to be as flush with the wall as possible, because that's what will make the biggest difference for noise. I have yet to find a good way to hang it (I have one over a hallway opening, and another over a window) that is both easily moveable when needed but also holds it up against the wall so that there is a seal. I guess that isn't an answer other than to say that it is not easy to work with these or hang them.... But certainly worth it for what it is. It is the best non-permanent sound dampening thing I have found.

Thank you! That was definitely part of my problem. One last question: when opening, I hear a pleasant ratcheting sound, which I don't hear when closing. Does yours also not make that sound in one direction?

Not unless your ear is right next to it. When take a shower, I don't hear it tick. The hard rubber casing that goes around the side may help dampen the sound too.

You have to find a way to get it to stop rubbing. I would speak to a warn tech. He might be able to get the problem fixed. Don't ignore it.

Just slide them off the shower rod is easiest, if you have a tension rod. Hope that helps.

I purchased this curtain for my guest room. Everyone just loves it. I ask my guest and they have no problem with it. Possibly the air circulation, or lack of, in your bathroom.

No, just use longer lightweight shower curtains. When we shoe curtains are pulled in, but otherwise we have them sort of spread outward over tub edges. It actually looks more authentic and Victorian for our historic house. This one worked for us, high ceilings and all.

There are two clamps on the vertical posts that hold the curtain. It sounds like you are only adjusting one of them.

Mine does the same thing. It's actually a chemical reaction from the metal. I'd love to find one that has a powder coated attachment knob as this will prevent it. Rubbing it with vegetable oil between washing has helped but not entirely. I'm hoping I'll have better luck with this one.

I have a vinyl shower surround and it's wonderful but I don't know the answer to your question. Sorry I can't help you out.
