I also have a Yamaha 500 Phazer for when the snow gets too deep... I've run the Bombardier in 10 inches of wet snow, but the Phazer handles it much better.
As far as noise goes, Kawasasaki's are notoriously famous for there engine noise (at least they used to be) I'm not sure if they make any wheeler with a gas engine that's real quiet.
The side x sides do well to the snow gets deeper than 14", I stand by my statement, they go where a 3 or 4 wheeler will not dream of. I have a trail along a steep ridge, in 3 places I have to hold on to a fence to keep my 4-wheeler upright, the side x side doesn't even feel the slightest bit unstable in those spots.
The 3 wheeler for 1 is not 4 wheel drive as the terry-x is, plus the Kawasaki has a locking differential, and a 4000 pound winch for those areas that are not "flat ground"
