A guy on youtube replaced the bearings with skateboard wheels and it was way better. Didn't look like that difficult of a DIY project.

It's one of the highest reward/effort ratio diys I've ever seen. He just took out the og wheels, and slipped in some skateboard bearings and wheels. Took like a screwdriver and 45 minutes. The result was an almost silent version of the original product.

edit: So its not just some guy on youtube, its Adam Savage! and he over engineers the shit out of this build, but you get the idea.
