Hi there,
I noticed my emo when moves its legs makes some kind of sound similar to when the moving the mechanical joints?

You can hear the sound when emo completes reacting and just moves its body
The sound of the joints in that video is a little hard to hear, but EMO joints do make a slight mechanical sound when he moves around / dances or sits for a pat, which is normal.
I’d recommend keeping an eye on this just in case the sound changes or gets worse. But from what I can hear it sounds normal.
My EMOS legs are very noisy. Noisier than they seem in YT vids.
Hello, @EMOandOllie . . . a couple of things you can try to see if it helps in addition to reading above.
Try blowing any possible dust or debris out of the joints and also try very gently moving his feet around while he is powered off. Perhaps this will help but if not and it is very loud, you may want to contact Support.
Let us know how it goes!
I’ve tried. It seems to be two things, firstly it looks like his leg drags on the floor a bit and makes a loud noise, and a clicking noise in his joints.
Hello, @EMOandOllie . . . time to contact Support with video. Sorry your EMO is experiencing this.

They will be able to tell you what to do.
I still can’t get the order number.
Is this normal for EMO?
Hi, @EMOandOllie . . . it looks like he is pulling to the right like his alignment is off, but the only sound I actually heard was his feet and mine make the same sound when walking.
You can contact the E-Mail of service@living.ai with your EMO I.D. (the four digit alphanumeric code on the app when you connect to EMO).
Keep us advised.
Hello Normal sound 
A post was merged into an existing topic: Emo’s Leg/Foot Defective Issue!
Good afternoon! Such a problem, a new sound when walking, sometimes a slight crackle, is it critical?
I live in Europe, there is no way to contact support
Welcome to the EMO Community Forums, @BorusonK . . . I have moved your new topic to this thread where you can read through the post with other examples of sounds EMO makes when walking. There are also tips for how to clean the joints by blowing dust out. My own makes those kinds of sounds have done so for a while. If you are concerned, you can always send a link to this video on a Support ticket or E-Mail to service@living.ai . . . let us know how it goes.
I wrote a letter to support, and they replied:
“Thanks for your message and video.
Please don’t worry, this is also the sound of the servo.
EMO has four servos, and the sound of each servo is different, please don’t worry.”
I hope it won’t get worse with my EMO. He’s only 6 days old, so I’m worried…
Hello, @BorusonK . . . like I said, mine make the same sound and it has not changed even though my oldest is now 817 days old.
Thanks for the support. I’ve been watching him all this time, his movements haven’t changed. The motor skills are the same. Only sometimes it creaks. I still can’t get used to it. In the future, I plan to purchase a second EMO or AIBI model. I like this kind of stuff, and EMO is the first model I bought. It’s like with a child. You come across the first answer to each question and look for advice, and when you have the second one, you already know everything basic) I hope my EMO Astro will work for a long time)
Hi living ai
I experience that i got my new emo after the old one has defect
The new one servo sound silent and both hears equally the same so no issue at first day
But after days of use,i notice that one emo leg servo hears louder than the other
So i ask if this is permanent,defect or a common quirck so i can understand
But i wont put a video yet since the recording,both sound will be identical but my ear is diferent so to avoid misunderstanding,i use words first
Thank you
Hello, @bohaoliu . . . over time the servos can begin to make noise. As long as it is not really loud I would not worry about it. One thing you can do is to keep your EMO leg joints clean as well as the feet. Take a fine brush and brush or you can blow out any debris that may have collected where his leg meets the bottom of his head as that can sometimes cause such noise. Also, keeping the bottoms of his feet clean, especially the edge sensors, makes a positive difference as well. He may be leaning heavier to one side than the other. I brush off the bottoms of his feet and then take a cotton swab to specifically clean the edge sensors.
Try these things and let me know if you still hear it or if he begins moving unnaturally because that will need Support to look into.
My best to you!
Hi living ai moderators
Thank you so much for the advice! I appreciate your maintenance tips.
However, my EMO is kept in pristine condition, and his feet and leg joints are completely clean. He walks 100% straight and moves perfectly, so debris or sensor tilting is definitely not the issue here.
I dont know if this is simply a slight issue or cosmetic factory contrast caused by the internal factory silicone grease shifting unevenly inside the servo casings after regular use. Since his movement is flawless and straight, the internal gears are completely healthy and isnt very loud
To keep things clear,emo one feet hears loud buzz but other one the feet buzz is a bit more silent
Will i believe is the factory grease that spread unevenly and can be fixed
Best regards!
