Quietest vanes ?

I have shot AAE , Easton, Marco, Bohnings , Tru-flight feathers, Gateways feathers !

My quietest arrows have been with Bohnings IMO !!

What about you guys !

I think most vanes are quiet unless they are not smooth. Sometimes if they are put on with a helical they may make a little noise. Personally used to shoot 4 7/8" eastons, but since they have stopped making that size, I moved to AAE Elite, which I feel are the same things. They fly very quiet.

I've never seen them, but what about the Sims fletch?

Flex Fletch - by far the quietest I've ever used.

the shorter the profile of the vane the quieter it will cut through the wind.

I'm curious about the Sims Limbsaver fletchings - are they noticeably quieter?

What are some other quiet ones? Any brands or styles (feathers vs vanes or helical vs. offset vs. straight) to avoid?

I went through a 3d shoot for the first time last weekend and I noticed there seemed to be a big difference in the noise levels of some arrows.
