Office Chair Computer Chair Noise

Admin October 09, 2026

The noise from office chairs and computer chairs may be caused by installation issues, product quality problems, or loose screws. Here are specific analyses and solutions:

Firstly, installation problems can be one of the reasons for the noise from office chairs and computer chairs. During installation, if the screws are not installed stably, the chair will produce noise due to the relative movement between various components during use. At this time, it is necessary to carefully check each screw connection part of the chair to see if there are any loose or untightened screws. You can use appropriate tools, such as a screwdriver, to retighten the loose screws to ensure that each component is firmly connected and reduce the noise caused by unstable installation.

Secondly, poor product quality can also cause the chair to make abnormal noises. For example, the friction between the five-star base and the nylon casters after connection with the ground, or the squeaking sound from the connection point between the insert rod and the casters due to long-term use. For such situations, a slight noise is normal, but if it is unbearable, some measures can be taken to reduce friction. One method is to replace them with silent PU casters, which can reduce the friction with the ground and thus reduce the noise. Another method is to pad a layer of adhesive paper between the insert rod and the hole wall, which can fill the gap, reduce the friction between components, and thereby reduce the noise.

Finally, a loose screw is also a common cause. Looseness at the connection points of the plastic or hardware parts of the chair back, long-term wear at the connection points of chairs with poor quality after sitting for a long time, or loose screws due to frequent shaking of the chair can all lead to loose connection points. When the chair is under pressure, the loose connection points will produce misaligned friction and make a squeaking sound. For this situation, it is necessary to find the loose screws and tighten them with tools. If the connection points are severely worn, it may be necessary to replace the corresponding components to ensure the stability of the chair and reduce the noise.
