    So ive had my DD3 for a while now but i been noticing that mechanical noise is comming trough the audio
    If I tap my Walkman during a silent part I can hear me taping it
    Is this normal?
    I think not

    Not normal, the better portables got the more they advertised how active you could be when you played them. I'd start with cleaning the controls and heads, wiggling the headphones on the jack for noises and checking the play head to see if it's coming loose. I don't have this model so it's generic info.

    Well it's not that
    When I tap the motherboard I can hear the tap on the audio
    Same thing happens with my Aiwa P202

    In this case it happens when I tap the Walkman
    The earphones I use or Headphones don't affect it in any way
    Very curious issue,doesn't affect much tbh but it's just there
