Claim 15:
16. A method of utilizing an axial ring and a radial ring to attenuate axial and radial sound inducing vibrations in response to operation of a component inside of a housing, wherein the axial ring is disposed transverse to the radially ring along the component, the method comprising:
selecting a torque applied to the radial ring;
determining a stiffness of the radial ring based on a stiffness-torque curve utilizing the selected torque to attenuate radial sound in response to operation of the component;
determining a stiffness of the axial ring based on an axial load and the selected torque of the radial ring;
manufacturing the radial ring that meets the determined stiffness of the radial ring;
manufacturing the axial ring that meets the determined stiffness of the axial ring;
manufacturing a profile of the component at a torque range higher than the selected torque applied to the radial ring; and
disposing the axial ring axially along the component to attenuate axial sound in response to operation of the component.
