: and some embarrasing noises come out. Does anyone know
: what to do about this.
: Thanks for any help you can give.

Hi,

I think just about all of us have experienced this at one time or another(walking around the quiet office at work!!). I experienced it more often with my other sockets. I reduced the noises by making sure I pressed the air release valve whenever I would get up after sitting, to get rid of any air that may have went into the socket. If your getting alot of air pockets maybe the socket needs to be tweaked or redone?
