I listened to both videos and honestly, I can't hear a lot of noise. To me, the arrow striking the target is no louder than the release of the arrow.I shoot a tribute set at 28.5" 70# and just the other day I had it over at a diehard matthews man's house shooting and he was impressed with how quiet and fast it was. He's not the kind of guy who will throw compliments around just to make someone feel better. He owns a switchback, and couldn't find anything bad to say about the tribute, except that I had a WB installed.I love my tributeand don't think I'll be looking to upgrade anytime soon! It is a heavier bow, but it's not like holding an 8# anchor.
