الوصف: By monitoring the quality factor of a quartz tuning fork oscillator we have observed a fluctuation-driven reduction in the viscosity of bulk $^3$He in the normal state near the superfluid transition temperature, $T_c$. These fluctuations, which are only found within $100 \mu$K of $T_c$, play a vital role in the theoretical modeling of ordering; they encode details about the Fermi liquid parameters, pairing symmetry, and scattering phase shifts. They will be of crucial importance for transport probes of the topologically nontrivial features of superfluid $^3$He under strong confinement. Here we characterize the temperature and pressure dependence of the fluctuation signature, finding data collapse consistent with the predicted theoretical behavior.
