Default helical or straight vanes

i shoot a 2003 patriot left hand now last year i shot right hand 2002 patriot anyway i shoot at 30 inches 60# beeman 400s at 29 inches arrow 410 grain at 272 fps. i have shot with helical vanes 4 inch very noisy and with straight vanes pretty quite compared to helical. i will be shooting fix blade t 100 rockys pricee but nice head. this will be my elk setup for this year.i want to get good arrow flight want to use helical but to noisy in flight. if i up my arrow weight some and get down to 250 fps will there be any differants in noise. or am i stuck tuning with straight vanes i don' t want to use feathers to many problems and noise with them. would going with 5 inch straight vanes help any Thanks guys
