Magic Wand

I have the new version of the Magic Wand, cant tell if its actually made by Hitachi any more but, it is still a great toy. My question for others here is this: The toy seems to be really loud, the rubber coating over the vibrating end is just a rubber cover over some foam rubber and makes a loud buzzing noise when the toys is on. The noise goes away if I squeeze the rubber end in my hand but as soon as I let go the noise comes back. Has any one here found their Magic Wand to be loud and if you found a way to quiet it down what did you do?

I have the original and 2 different Wand Essentials units. They're not silent, but I don't find them overly noisy.

What was your purchase source?

Some time ago, I read a report on how to spot a counterfeit Magic Wand. On the original, the label around the switch is rectangular, where the counterfeit one is oval. I don't know if that is still accurate today.

Sourcing can be a problem. Amazon has been known to commingle real merchandise - SOLD BY AND FULFILLED BY AMAZON and 3rd party stuff - SOLD BY XYZ AND FULFILLED BY AMAZON. Some of the 3rd party stuff isn't trustworthy.

I purchased it from Lovers Package, after reading reviews online this proving to be a common complaint. I tried injecting some expanding foam into the area between the rubber cover and the vibrating head, didnt work maybe using silicone RTV caulking would work.

I recently bought the Magic Wand Original form newegg.com. The wands currently being sold leave off the name Hitachi and add the word "original". I don't think mine is noisy and the noise stays about the same whether it is touching me or not. The rectangular label around the switch says Magic Wand Original. There is another label at the end where the cord comes out that says MASSAGER HV-260 Vibratex, Inc. I'm very happy with mine.

Given the somewhat rough play that my wife and I enjoy, and the way the head of these is constructed, I had concerns about the head cover coming off. I ended up putting silicone sealant, the sort intended for kitchens and bathroom tile work in the head cover, and around the seam of the head cover, as well as around the joint of the neck to the body to prevent fluid penetration. Ungrounded ac powered appliance that close to body contact just seemed dangerous to me.

That certainly dampened the noise level of any vibrations in the head cover, though I imagine you could wrap the inner portion in rubber bands and reinstall the head cover for similar effect if you didnt want to use silicone.
