That's what I thought at first.....but I tracked the noise don....definitely coming from the headset/stem. (I actually thought the bars were cracked at first- as the sound radiates out through them pretty good!)

I'll give that a try. The headset is one component I've never messed with before. Got any quick links of how exactly I do it, to save me from Googledom?
Thanks.
