Not something I'm working on, but I've noticed the Gen2 units in a lot of shopping malls and office buildings around here tend to make a lot of noise when traveling. Curious to know why that is. I remember reading on Otis' website saying how the belts don't need lubricating, but it sounds like something isn't lubricated.
It's especially noticeable for this one set of parking elevators where the top floor is the main (mall) floor. When starting from Ground and down, it's always noisy (and you can hear it for the entire trip), but when starting from any other floor, it's not this noisy.
Guessing the mall doesn't have a contract with Otis?
