[CAUT] more problems with the D

Two problems with the D. (Yes the same one)
 
First, I misinterpreted the faculty's comments. It wasn't "brassy" as such,  
as much as it lacked focus. I perceived this to mean to bright. So I voiced it 
 down. But now he says it has lost it's power. He says the hammers will never 
 come back. Is he right, or is there a way to get the power back on  without 
them becoming too brassy?
 
The other problem, which I also misunderstood, is a noisy action. He said  
something about it when he complained about uneven voicing with the soft pedal  
on, but I missed his comments. I compared the action noise with that of the  
other D, and there does seem to be a little more action noise. I've narrowed it 
 down to when the hammer returns, kind a of a mild knocking sound. I tried  
voicing up the wippen cushion, but that didn't do anything. Could it be that 
the  back under key felt is too hard? Would that solve the noisy action? 
(remember,  this piano is less than 2 years old.
