I have also always put a foam sealer on the fuselage edges for the door which the door closes on. It is just the 1/4" stuff you buy at the hardware store. It is sealed tightly and there is no buzz. Shattuck N320GS """ I wonder if your problem is not with the hydraulics at all and is the door itself. There has been a long history of people having buzzing noises coming from their nose gear doors at higher speeds. The problem in this case has been that the belly is slightly curved (front to rear) but the door itself tends to be straight. """
