My 3D printer is terribly quiet right now

When I recently bought my first 3D printer here, Geeetech A20M, I was of course very excited. However, the big problem was the noise level during printing. I have it in my office, so if I wanted to print during working hours it would be next to impossible. My office is next to my bedroom, which also meant that the pressure kept me up at night. So I was between a rock and a hard spot. While working on my body, I ordered these shocks along with new pulleys because mine were pressed in (but that's another story). It took me over a week to install it because I had to wait for all the parts, but today it happened! I removed the old pulleys, added dampers to the X and Y axes, installed the new pulleys and fired them up. Although I've seen almost 100% positive reviews for these dampeners, the real experience is overwhelming! The hotend fan is by far the noisiest part now (future project?) as stated by many other reviews. My first print is still a work in progress, but so far I don't see any drop in quality. Now to the product. myself. Of course, the heatsinks don't come with glue, but it doesn't say anywhere that it will. Some, myself included, may prefer this, because then it's up to you to find the best mounting solution. I ordered an inexpensive hot melt tape that works great. I laugh every time I look at one of the photos that claim their shock absorbers aren't scratched like everyone else's but then the description says they may be dusty or dented LOL! In any case, the Min arrived in good condition with no obvious defects. One thing I noticed is that the screws are silver Phillips rather than black hex. I don't mind much because they work. Overall I am very happy with the purchase as I will most likely be able to sleep and type! Okay, it can also WORK and print. I highly recommend this product.
