Lol. OP didn’t do her research before buying it. The Embody is one of the if not THE noisiest chair you can ever buy because it’s 95% all plastic. If you sit in the chair it won’t make a noise but if you shift your weight or you push on it like you are doing then you will always hear noise. This is true for almost any chair because chairs are made of plastic and there’s no way to make a chair have no give whatsoever. I have the LE and it was bad but now I either don’t notice it anymore or the chair broke in after almost 2yrs now. I would worry too much about it because you’re doing something that’s making the chair make noise. If you sit in it like a regular human being then you won’t hear anything.
