I shot my first actual rage 2 blade tonight. The only complaint I had was there was quite a bit of flight noise. I was also shooting my G5 strikers and there was no noise. They flew well and hit where I aimed, just don't know if I'm sold just yet. I also shoot a guardian at 70 lbs. I didn't have any issues with them not opening on the target entry.

My issues weren't that they didn't open. Mine opened out of the bow. That may be why you heard so much noise. Yours may have opened on the shot too. If you have a paper tuner around, shoot thru it and see what kind of tear you get. I did that and the blades were already deployed.
