When I get pip from gear I give it pip right back. You pip me I pip you mofo!
If you already have sound injection techniques, you can also try warming the gear. If those two things don't work, then I would say you are experiencing something normal that can't be fixed. It will only get worst, until one day you will begin dreaming of needles chasing you. Then suddenly when you're awake you will see needles every where you go. Until you finally slip into a pip induced coma. Mwahaha!
