As far as "lift noises" go, I cannot hear anything out of the ordinary. That said, until I saw the lift in action, I really didn't understand how the pully system worked.
It is IMPERITIVE that you ensure your pulleys are all properly threaded and snug before lifting to the required height. As well, it also seems prudent to ensure that each of the four safety latches is completely at rest before walking away. I agree with the previous posts that call for concentration and caution while operating a lift. A lot could go wrong on the way up or down.
Lastly, I am not sure I would own a lift in a earthquake zone unless I bolted it down. I am currently exploring whether or not my garage floor can handle the bolts. If not, I will not be crushed as I am able to move it around with the castor kit.
