Abstract

In a method for reducing noise during operation of a magnetic resonance apparatus, a gradient coil which exhibits a vibratory node during operation of the apparatus is attached to a holder exclusively in a region of the vibratory node. In a magnetic resonance apparatus, a gradient coil having at least one vibratory node along a longitudinal length thereof during operation of the magnetic resonance apparatus is attached to the holder exclusively in a region of the vibratory node.
