The present invention is directed at a dose setting mechanism for a drug delivery device, comprising an outer sleeve and an inner sleeve located at least partially within the outer sleeve wherein the outer sleeve is connected to the inner sleeve. To reduce noise excitations of the dose setting mechanism, at least one intermediate element is at least partially located in a clearance between the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve in such way that it reduces the relative movement of the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve along a play between the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve. The invention is further directed to a pen-type injector equipped with a respective dose setting mechanism.
