gear collision noise
Explanation:
For 衝突音, I think "collision noise" would be a suitable translation.

You could probably call this:

* Gear collision-noise reduction grease.
* Gear silencing grease (for collision noise reduction).

Good luck.

gear noise


Explanation:
I think I'd just go with "gear noise," since the friction is there by nature.

Gear meshing noise


Explanation:
I agree with two answerers that "collision" here is not suitable. Just "gear noise" would work, but to be more specific, why not say "Gear meshing noise"?
