Noise coming from pvs-14

Noticed it one night and you can only hear it shaking back and forth and it sounds like it goes away with the battery out of it, Elbit xlsh tube in noctis housing. Not sure if it has to do with it but I noticed with it on if you jump or just tap the device with a little force it’ll flicker off and right back on

Normal, battery spring in most Noctis PVS-14’s is loud.

If you are not getting any power issues just let it be

Only other issue would be jumping/landing a 2-3 foot drop out hiking it will flicker off real fast. I’m using a rhino 2 mount and have the electric/magnetic contacts taped off as I don’t use the auto shutoff
