When I move my fingers away from the fingerboard , they made a slight pull-off .
How can I avoid these noize ?
I've seen an article and it told me that there are 2 ways to avoid it :
1. Move away fingers more carefully n'softly;
2. Mute the string with the finger tip
But I can't achieve either of them now .
I want to know how to practice to kill the noize when sweeping .
Thanks ~~!~~

Basically, make sure you are lifting your fingers directly up and not pulling the string at all. Also, when sweeping, slight muting with the right hand will help you out.

thanx.
Now I am practicing to use right hand to mute when I sweep from low to high and to use left hand when sweeping in opposite direction .

The secret is right palm muting!!
It's very important when you're playing with distortion (Metal Zone Rulez!!!):D

I had the exact same problem awhile ago.
I dont know about you but i got the noice when i sweept towards the higher strings,
the sulotion for me was to mute the lower strings, that i had just played, with my right hand thumb before releasing them.
This teqnic may feal akward at first but once you get it it works like a charm.
I allways try to "roll" the fingers off, that is to lift them off in the same direction as the strings go. (Towards the headstock).
