Dover,
I have a stethoscope and have done all the listening you suggest...and more, and hear nothing "revelatory" in regard to 'noise' within my turntable structures.
However this is by no means a scientific or 'white paper approved' form of documentary evidence which laboratory testing could easily provide?
Your use of terms like "noise", "friction" and "vibration" are inexact, undocumented and unquantified.
Hardly a convincing argument regardless of how often you continue to repeat it?
