Tank squeeks, please help.

My tank sits in my cab, and when I hit ups a loud squeeking/dying animal noise is made, any thoughts, I have my tank sitting vertical.

bolt it in better if its loose, or if your taking about the air flowing, run lower pressure.

Well my pressure isnt high anymore, I use to run 300 and sometimes 350ish but no more since I was blowing my engine driven comps. So is it already damaged from the past high pressure? The problem never existed in the begining but now is in-escapable. Thanks for your help

sure it isnt the valves? sometimes the dumps will let alittle air by, because it takes pressure for the valves to completely seal.

its definately air flow noise, the only way I can explain it, it sounds like an elephant. I can feel it in the fittings, like I said, it didnt do this for about 5 months, then it started and wont stop. I have changed fittings, valves, still happens. Valevs are 470psi E valves

What brand are the valves ?

It is the sudden release of pressure from the tank. Pressure builds up and actually expands the tank. when you release the pressure you have everything suddenly releasing pressure. Its normal. changing your tank might help, but not for very long. If you can't stand the sound...PUT IT OUTSIDE...

Well, you do have Zoo in your name!?!just a thought.

When I open my ball valves to let air flow even just to my valves directly mounted on them, at 150 psi or so I hear what you might call a baby elephant noise lol.

This is loud though, nobody elses setups I see around town or out at runs for that matter make this loud of a noise, outside I only think it would draw more not so good attention I guess is a way to put it.

Thanks for the input so far
