Nope, Did you take the spring silencers off the stock springs, and put them on the swifts? (they look like a peace of hard plastic that wraps around the bottom coil of the spring) They eliminate the noise your hearing.

Along with this, are they right side up? I've heard of people putting them upside down also and will make a bad noise. How I have no clue but I guess anything is possible.
