Turns out it may have to do with the design of the ASG motor housing being different from other motors. The body is slightly larger, and the guide tower for the shaft is part of the body instead of a separate piece slipped on before the pinion. Maybe the dimensions cause the motor to seat differently in the grip or motor guide hole, I don't know.

I managed to get my ASG to sound pretty much identical to my Tienly setup through somewhat counter-intuitive means. When I shimmed both setups visually, Tienly was much quieter. I tried shimming the bevel gear 0.3mm lower than what visually seemed optimal, the noise signature went down to the same level. Drivetrain setups were identical: Siegetek 10:1 sets in VFC mechboxes, PTS MOE grips, Siegetek pinions.
