Default OxyCon vibrating and running loud help

I have 2 of the same oxycons, and one runs nearly silent, one runs with a vibration and is a lot louder.
Any ideas what might cause this?
They are DevilBliss machines.

Is one older than the other, or has been used significantly more ?

Two possibilities:

The compressor in the noisy one needs a rebuild.

OR

The compressor mount could be loose.

They were both refurbished at the same time.
It has been noisy since I got it, I just run both at the same time ALWAYS, but today turned one off and left the other by mistake, and realized it was quiet.
I hope it is the mount, that sounds like a better and easier fix!
Any way I can check, anything to look for?
Thanks for the help

Here is the service manual for the MC44 model, if not the same it is likely
very similar to your model.

Devilbiss MC44 service manual

It shows how to disassemble the unit so you can check the mounts, if
they are tight the compressor needs a rebuild.

Good luck.
